Gilbert's extraordinary talent of arranging/composing lends to the new music's fresh melodies for songs that show his true diversity. Gilbert discusses some of the songs and how they came to light: "The first three songs on the album are sort of a bridge from the riff-and-solo style of 'Get Out Of My Yard' to my new discoveries in melody writing that come in the songs that follow. 'Silence', 'Eudaimonia Overture' and 'The Rhino' certainly have melodic elements, but from 'Norwegian Cowbell' until the end of the record, I use pure melody more and more. Many of these melodies were actually composed with my singing voice."
The musicians on the album are as follows:
Paul Gilbert: Guitar
Mike Szuter: Bass
Jeff Bowders: Drums
Emi Gilbert: B3 Organ and Piano

Gilbert composes music in a wide variety of styles including pop, rock, metal, blues, jazz, funk and classical, but is perhaps best known for his tremendous versatility and blistering speed, which helped him be named as one of the "Top 10 Shredders Of All Time" by GuitarOne magazine. He is also considered to be one of the best proponents of alternate picking, tapping, and string skipping.
