Go Joe Go
Still checking it out for long term listening (Got with Chicken Foot 4. Joe Satriani cd is excellent. 5 stars--Joe is with great company, different but great, only negative is recording is distorted, especially the bass, I have 1970 analog cd's that sound better! Still CF rocks!). The Joe Satriani cd displays Joe's tallent to just make beautiful sound, rythums and six string jam. The recording quality is great. I have all of Satriani's CD's and this one is one of the better ones. The drummer displays some of the best drums I have ever heard, very tallented. Crystal Plant and Flying a Blue Dream were my favorites until I got burned out on them. Excellent CD, Get it!!!!!!!!!!!.


Satriani Speed with SRV Passion
He takes a step back and plays more blues and melodic arrangements. This is my favorite Satriani album. He doesn't focus so much on speed, such as on Surfing with the Alien (an amazing, groundbreaking album) Surfing with the Alien. Instead, he plays like Satriani, but with more intensity and passion. Also, probably one of the best sounding albums as far as recording quality.


Hope You're Willing To Read Review #43
Anyway, I didn't read them all, but while the first half-dozen reviews mention the fact that this is likely Satriani's most laid-back album, none of them mention either the fact that Glyn Johns (The Beattles, The Who, The Stones, Elton John, and almost anyone else who's ever made a record) produced the songs or that Nathan East (bass) and Manu Katche (drums) play on most of them. Was looking for a jpeg and decided to write a review, and thank you for your patience if you've already read 1-42. Bummer. Along with his first--and strangest, since he made it between sessions and teaching gigs, and did most everything but play drums--album, Not Of This Earth(1986), and his most ambitious--hey, I don't know of any Electronica artists capable of playing a guitar as well as Satriani--album, Engines Of Creation(2000), Joe Satriani(1995) is one of my favorite albums by Mr. Satriani. Sure, the Surfing With The Alien(1987)/Flying In A Blue Dream(1989) era stuff is still fresh and amazing, and his newer albums, Is There Love In Space?(2004) and Super Colossal(2006), show that he still owns his guitar. However, I would argue that Joe Satriani(1995) is the only Satriani album where he allows the other musicians to rip it up as much as he typically does. Heck, this could be called The Manu Katche Album given how many times he fills blank spaces tastfully with quick and tricky drum-work. I realize that most people don't like to think (which is probably why The Extremist(1992) remains one of Satriani's most popular albums to date--young brothers on bass and drums, told exactly what to do: don't rock the boat, keep a beat, call me sir). But if you're looking for a Satriani album that might actually be considered fusion (in a broad sense of the word) and has a markedly higher level of overall musicianship than most of his other efforts, check out Joe Satriani(1995). It might just please you. .


Joe rocks again
Every track has licks you wish you could go back and listen to in slow motion-a hundred times. Once again, Mr Satriani shows why he is a guitar teacher as well as performer. I can see him schooling the younger guys that have come in the last ten to twenty years-Vai, Shepherd-and showing them the way (which they have done successfully as well) to make the instrument sing-to make the instrument so very listenable. Having seen the G3 tour a couple of times, I marvel at the way these songs are reproduced live sometimes more than the way they are done in the studio. The album is a must have for any guitar enthusiast.


SATRIANI'S FINEST HOUR
The first song Cool #9 has great solos and is one of my favorite songs here, the second song If has some catchy rifs, the third song Down,Down,Down Joe plays the blues,the fourth song here Luminous Flesh Giants is like a Seattle grunge rock sounding song and is my favorite here. Joe Satriani's self-titled album and Super Colossal album in my opinion is Joe's finest hour. The other songs are good but that's all i feel about commenting it.
