I agree with Juhan to an extent. His playing is fantastical, but a lot of the time he plays runs straight up and down the scale, which your ear might not interpret as very musical. It's not how a voice would naturally sing notes out, and lends more to the shredding, Eric Johnsonesque approach to the guitar. Also, his singing, imo is a lot of the time over the top. It seems like he's always yelling and going for broke. I think he'd be that much better if he restrained both his guitar playing and his singing a little bit. Love the music as it is anyway though, and I guess that's kind of his style.
