Fans on Facebook have praised the album for its raw, riff-heavy sound, with one post from 2022 on the Andy Timmons Guitar page sparking comments about how tracks like "Big Power" capture his ability to blend melodic hooks with gritty intensity. In a 2022 interview with Defenders of the Faith, Timmons mentioned his love for earthy, funky vibes, which likely influenced the driving rhythm and soulful guitar work in "Big Power."

Andy Timmons kicked off his musical journey in Evansville, Indiana, where he formed his first band, Taylor Bay, at the age of 13. Inspired by session guitarists like Steve Lukather, he saw a career path in music early on and pursued it with focus. After graduating from Evansville Harrison High School in 1981, he studied jazz guitar at the University of Miami, honing his technical skills. By the mid-1980s, Timmons moved to Dallas, promoting himself as a virtuoso. His big break came when he joined the glam metal band Danger Danger, touring with acts like Kiss and Alice Cooper, selling over a million records, and landing two #1 videos on MTV. This high-profile gig gave him industry cred, and after leaving the band in 1993, he returned to Dallas to launch his solo career with the 1994 album Ear X-tacy, a critical hit that established him as a guitar hero.

Timmons’ career spans solo work, session playing, and live performances with legends like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.
