Mozart with an Electric Guitar!
I have a very hard time picking my favorite Satriani CD, because I love all 12 of my Satch CD's, but if I had to pick my favorite, this would be it. You can tell from my review title that I am a big Satch fan. I've heard some people say that satch is a shredder, that gets my goat. He can play blazingly fast, but he's a lot more than a shredder. Anybody that can listen to his music, and say he's another shredder is deaf as a door nail. The man can come up with some amazingly beautiful music, and when he kicks it in high gear, there is still purpose behind the music, not like shredders that just go fast for fast sake. The man's a Genius in my book.


Best Satriani album
Musterion of Rock, Surfing with the Alien, One Big Rush, and now this one. I currently own 4 satch albums. I also own some vai and buckethead. Hands down this is the best instrumental album ive ever heard. Most others ive listened to have 4 or 5 good songs, including 1 or 2 greats, this whole album is amazing. If you can only buy a single cd, get it.


Crystal Planet
My husband and I never get tired of listening to his music. Joe Satriani comes through once again.


One of the Best CD's EVER
If his other cd's didnt prove it already, this one does! Ever since his masterpiece Surfing With the Alien, Satriani has been on a roll releasing great albums. Joe Satriani is one of a kind. So much emotion flows through his guitar, no words can not express and thats why his guitar does it for him! Song after song, brilliant guitar playing is heard. It always amazes me every time i listen to it. "Love Thing" has to be one of the best songs I have ever listened to. Some other favorites from the album are "Crystal Planet" and "Ceremony". "Time" gives such an intense feeling, its unbelievable! Buy this album now, you will be satisfied!.


An average instrumental snooze-fest.
For those of you who think ground has been broken; check your bland musical taste. A bald head in goofy sunglasses isn't cool but overall A slightly below average release of uninventive instrumental rock cuts. The music is a little repititious, boring and uninteresting. Specifically it may appeal to fans of racecar video game music. 2 or 3 songs are decent here. Find some real mind expanding music and skip this stinker.
