Meltdown is the third studio album by the American guitarist Vinnie Moore, released in 1991 through Relativity Records.[1][2] Moore wanted to use a singer on the album but could not find a suitable one.[3] He supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
The Washington Post wrote that "this is fast and furious, finger-flying stuff for the most part, a power trio album devoted to torrid instrumental flights and designed to compete with the likes of Steve Vai."[7] The Chicago Tribune concluded that "Moore's production is intense—much better than that of labelmate Steve Vai—with crisp snares, wicked-yet-smooth guitar squeals and steady low end."[6]
