""I Believe" is a song that Satch wrote when his father was in the process of passing away, and his heartfelt lyrics here showcase why there is a need at times to put words to music to express an emotion through story. Listening to the lyrics of this song you can hear what Satch is feeling about what is happening around him, and his guitar then sews that all together. "One Big Rush" channels his previous album for song similarity, again mirroring the song title for what it puts as pictures in your mind, of surfing that wave or speeding down a hill on your skateboard or charging through the streets in the car. Satch has an amazing ability to do that in his music. And he does it again on one of the album's best track, "Big Bad Moon". His music here fills out the story of the song, creating the soundtrack to the lyrics with his blues based hard rocking guitar and suitably excellent drums and bass. But when he unleashes in his solo pieces here, it is pure Satriani, and this all combines to make it one of the best experiences on the album".
