It�s actually slightly better than I remember although around song 8 or 9 the album becomes a bit stale. It picks up again towards the end though. I don�t think Voodoo is among his best work (the lyrics and the concept work really well though), but I had a pretty good time listening to the album again after I hadn�t listened to it in a couple of years. My issue with the album is that the riffs are sometimes repeated too much and that they aren�t always that interesting. I miss the 80s thrash tinged heavy metal riffing. Overall there�s not much of that on the album. A couple of the tracks feature some killer riffs though and of course the solo work is brilliant. Another issue is the lifeless drumming. Come on man! Show some enthusiasm behind that kit. Some of those rythms are sooo boring...
