Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn (1988)
Heavy , Shred Metal/Rock | MP3 41:54min | 320 kbps | 96.6 MB

At first listen, Jason's imaginative style and songwriting are almost abrasive because they are so different from all the neoclassical speed metal "clones". But once you have listened to this album a few times, you begin to feel Jason's personality. You begin to understand that he shouldn't only be lauded for his talent at such a young age, but you begin to realize that his musical imagination is far beyond Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, and others. Jason didn't just take his melodies and harmonize them by replaying everything a 3rd higher. He instead showed true musicianship, and incredible songwriting ability by blending 3 or sometimes 4 completely different melodies. The result is what at first seems to be a (excuse the pun) cacophony, but as you begin to pick out each individual melody and feel how they all come together to form a larger cohesive composition, you can't help but marvel at the brilliant musicianship of Jason. To say "Oh wow! He did all this when he was 17!" is somewhat of an insult to Jason. In my opinion, having listened to hours upon hours of different neoclassical metal, Jason's album "Perpetual Burn" would have been an incredible achievement no matter his age.
