5 out of 5 stars Pure Genius.......2003-11-16

When i first listened to this album I really didn't like Marty Friedman's style. I put the album aside and left it for a while. A few months later I went and got Dragon Kiss and really thought it was brilliant and Friedman's style came through there. So I got True Obsession and put it on and absolutely loved it. It provides a good mix of guitar instrumentals and lyricized stuff with some beasty, 'Marty Friendman' style solos. Fave track off the album 'Hands Of Time'. Definitely a great album for any Friedman fans and some people looking to be introduced to his stuff.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad........1999-11-10

This album didn't really dissapoint me at first. There is some good playing and some interesting ideas. However, it tyres rather quickly. I feel Marty was experimenting a little too much. The album just doesn't flow. Some songs start off quite well and just become messy and jarring (eg. "intoxicated and "the yearning"). Also the songs with vocals sound a bit too 80's for me, but I guess that isn't always a bad thing. "True Obsessions" is no way near the standard of "Scenes" where he was really trying to emote feelings through his playing. All the same it is still rather good. Songs such as Rio and Fairwell hit the spot. If you liked Marty's other albums you will probably like this one.
