The Musicians involved in this project are world-class! I have listened to this one time and time again and keep finding new layers and crazy details I couldn't perceive before. "Rescue me or bury me" is one of those songs that I'll never forget. I love how Vai never conformed or sold out. He always kept going where his creativity took him and managed to tour the globe away. The only thing he sold out are concert venues including The Paramount theater in Seattle where he played with Malmsteen and Satriani. One of his songs held SO MUCH emotion I even cried. Buy this, you won't be disappointed! This is what Freedom In Music is all about!

As a musician Steve Vai has always run hot and cold with me. Albums like Passion and Warefare, Alien Love Secrets, and the Ultra Zone represent Vai at his most, and really capture his essence. Vai does nothing for me emotionally. He is not a "plug into a Marshal stack and play" type of guitarist. His albums are usually heavily orchestrated and effects driven. His overuse and abuse of the whammy bar gets old too. But every now and then all of that combines to make a fantastic and interesting album, such as the aforementioned. Every now and then however, an album like Sex & Religion gets made...
This album posed many questions to me after first listening to it 15 years ago:
1. Why is the singer screaming throughout the whole album?
2. Why do the songs suck?
3. Where are the creative instrumentals Vai fans were longing for after Passion and Warefare?
4. How could ... Read More

Vai's bio here says it all: "their one and only album in 1993, Sex & Religion. When the album proved to be a disappointment both critically and commercially,"... and well deservidly so.
I guess Vai is allowed a stunt, and I hope he doesnt release a vocal album ever again; a few songs here and there I might tolerate. My advice is to skip this one unless you are a hard core fan.
Rating: - The best - period.
I understand I am in the minority on this topic, but I think "Sex & Religion" is the best band album Steve ever released. Steven's & Bozzio lay down a brutal rhythm section and Devon Townsend...well, it's the best vocal work he's ever done. Then there is Steve's guitar playing, his compositions, his production.
What can I say - Steve Vai at the height of his creative powers!
