GUS G. checked in with the following comment about the track: “The album’s only instrumental track, 'The Quest,' is a very strong track and creates an impact. You hear lots of sides of my playing, not only the technical leads and heavy riffing, but melodies and even acoustic. Lots of stuff jam-packed into this song, but somehow it all comes together nicely.”
