I'll be honest - I came to this thinking I didn't like Vai. I've never been keen on 'shreddy' guitar at all, and I'd never been interested enough to listen beyond the few tracks I had heard in passing. So when I was in a charity shop one day and found the Anthology for £2, I took a deep breath and decided to give him a try in the interests of keeping an open mind… fully expecting to file under 'good, but not for me' and return the week after.
I was wrong - although I'm still not really that keen on the more shreddy stuff, I really like his more melodic, interesting-sounding 'not a million miles an hour' side. If I have a favourite it's probably the Fire Garden Suite. I later got Passion & Warfare, and although I can see why it's the definitive album if you like the 'shreddy Vai', I don't think I'd want to listen to it all repeatedly - it's not varied enough.

I’d give Flexible a while though and until you have been through some more of the catalogue
