Description/Reviews:
Most tunes stick to Satriani’s chosen genre of rock, without veering too far from the path into less accessible genres such as fusion. While he and co-producer Cuniberti do incorporate elements from jazz, fusion, New Wave, pop, and funk, these influences are more of a spice then a staple. All tracks feature the smooth, supple ideas that he’s worked so diligently to instill in his listeners’ ears. There isn’t the angularity of metal or modern hard rock blues hybrids. Notes ease in and out of existence, devoid of fuss. The disc on the whole has a familiar and fairly formulaic sequencing, with heavier tunes closer to the beginning.
