Despite the awesome chorus and verses its easy to hear that its soloing the two at the time young guitarists (Marty Friedman and Jason Becker, Jason only being 17 here) are passionate about rather than sing along parts, like in all neo-classical metal. The greatest part is the intro lasting until 01:40, which is almost tear shredding (what the heck, pun intended). Would make the best background music ever for a dramatic 80’s anime scene.
