Editorial Reviews
The second solo album from Steve Vai shows the guitarist coming into his own as a composer, matching his prodigious talent as a performer. The result is an entertaining mix. The hilarious "Audience is Listening" complements more reflective pieces such as "For the Love of God." The high-powered "Animal" and "Greasy Kid's Stuff" are balanced by "Blue Powder" and "Alien Water Kiss." Unlike most guitar-god solo recordings, Passion & Warfare avoids the sort of technical noodling that is uninteresting to everyone except other guitarists, opting instead for a collection of high-quality music that is full of compositional experimentation without ever getting out of control. --Genevieve Williams

A rock guitar classic.......2007-01-13
It was actually a good thing - it filtered out alot of fret w*nkers as the guitar scene was very watered down.. Vai wannabes, Satch, Van Halen wannabes... the list goes on - BUT the good players also got a rap in the process. Nevertheless the true players are still going strong and have never sold out regardless. Vai is one of them...
If you don't understand this album I urge you to give it another listen or two. Every note counts..
Commercial highpoint.......2006-07-22
So for guitar nuts this is almost an essential purchase. If you only buy on Vai album just to check out what all the fuss is about make it this one, the mans mainstream high point and for good reason. That's not to say the man didn't come in for some criticism at the time. Australias' Hot Metal magazine wrote him off, the reviewer stating 'the whole Steve Vai high priest of guitar' schtick was vomit inducing. And he was rightly hassled for things like 'thanks Ibanez, thanks God' but then maybe Hot Metal rightly had it's nose out of joine since Vai had refused to be interviewed for the magazine unless they'd guarantee him the cover! In the end they got around him by getting an interview from a freelance journalist.
Anyway, the music on this disc is just about all off on a tangent, perhaps the most accessable points coming when Vai allows some human connectivity to come into the mix on the amusing throw away tune The Audience is Listening. Elsewhere tunes such as The Riddle define for the listener much of what is exactly right and exactly wrong with Vai records. And prospective buyers should probably try to listen to at least a sample of this track to determine if this stuff is for them.
Extra credit to Vai for the fact that he appears to have made sure that everyone got credit where it was due - individually crediting musicians on each and every track. and the guy obviously took full responsibility for this album rising or falling, utilising his multi instrumentalist skills and also producing the whole shebang.
Most of my mates at the time bought this album. But often they played it is another matter. On this release Vai's positive image and talent got people to see past the fact that he wasn't really playing proper songs, just cataloguing his skills. On most of his other releases the lack of humanity became all consuming.

If you had to choose one CD Vai, this is it........2007-06-02
This release features a very wide range of Steve's styles, from ballads like "Sisters" to dirty grooves like "The Animal" to epic guitar masterpieces like "For the Love of God".
But perhaps the most interesting track is "The Riddle". This song explores an endless terrain of guitar emotions and the composition is extremely full. The closer you listen to it, the more tracks and guitar sounds you start hearing, a definite headphone must!
Some material on here, like The Riddle is conjured up from Steve's imagination and "dreams" of out-of-body experiences with aliens, pixies, and more.
Another interesting note is that Steve actually fasted (went without food) for several days before recording the track For The Love of God, as an expression of dedication to his spiritual devotion through music itself, one could say.
This is not just technical guitar prowess - this is a very deep exploration of all the possibilities on a guitar, and it pushes the envelope of instrumental imagination. It is this particular release that made me realize that Steve Vai is not a guitar player, he is a living breathing extentsion of the instrument itself. You will not be disappointed!

COSMOPOLITE
Pour moi, c'est incontestablement le meilleur album de la série. L'idée de Point Central est géniale et la divesité des créatures l'est tout autant. Ce monde ressemble fort au notre: pouvoir, argent, domination. La seule diférence est peut-être une morale un (petit) peu plus sauve. L'intrigue est simple sans être dépouillée et me fait penser à la domination Athénienne de Péricles au V siècle avt JC.
