Strange Inventive Music

Pros Tasteful and innovative guitar work from beginning to end
Cons Some of the stuff sounds a bit rehashed; so what?
Recommended it? Yes

Of the three arguably top prog shredders of the past fifteen years--Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Yngwie Malmsteen--Joe Satriani has always been my favorite. Vai, great though he is, seems to be more interested in coaxing as many weird-*ss sounds as possible out of his Ibanez with the built-in... Read full review »

Pros Jaw-dropping guitar. Simply amazing stuff.
Cons A couple tracks sound recycled. But with Satriani, is that really a bad thing?
Recommended it? Yes

When I first heard that guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani had a new album in stores, it caught me totally off-guard. I hadn't heard any news or hype about it whatsoever. Plus, with the slow rate that most artists are producing albums these days, I figured I wouldn't hear anything new from Satch for a... Read full review »

Strange Beautiful Music

After a brief excursion into techno with 2000's Engines of Creation, Joe Satriani returns to rock with a vengeance. He sets the tone by looking to Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti for inspiration, coming up with the lyrical "Oriental Melody" and the sensuous "Belly Dancer." "Starry Night" is a rhythmic romp across the cosmos that recalls the restrained yet breezy jazz of early Traffic laced with the lyricism of Jimi Hendrix. "Chords of Life" is marked by its clean, uncluttered bass line that surrenders to a tumultuous psychedelic free fall. Satriani pulls the song back just before it disintegrates into chaos, guiding it along with a deftness and economy. Often criticized for overplaying, the former guitar teacher has reined in his technique and let his heart lead. Strange Beautiful Music is one of Satriani’s best efforts. --Jaan Uhelszki
