Free Music Review: awesome
Hit: 5 Stars

Joe Allen nailed it, as far as I am concerned. I grow so weary of people slamming Joe for nonsense like "there are no words," or, "his singing is terrible," or this is nothing like (fill in any joe title)." first off, YOU DONT NEED LYRICS TO HAVE GREAT MUSIC! over the loooooong history of music, the vast majority that is considered great, beautiful, music is sans lyrics. just because there are none, does not make it one big guitar solo. anyone who has enough intelligence to LISTEN to music can hear how much
depth there is in Joe's work. True, there are tracks here and there (from across his career) that I could live without, as with ANY artist, but every album Satch has released is unique in its own way, an accomplishment made even stronger considering they are mostly lyricless. as for his singing, he doesnt like his own voice, but thats ok, because I think it works well when he decides to use it. Flying in a Blue Dream is still one of my faves. I have all but Time Machine and Dreaming #11, and yes I think they are all great. ok, Engines of Creation is on the bottom of that list, and I dont listen to it much, as it is a bit to techno sounding to me, but it speaks volumes of his constant creative efforts not to put out the same stuff on every album. if every album sounded the same, I would not take the time to write such praises. I have seen Joe several times, both in small clubs, and medium size concert venues, and was lucky enough to see him at an In store appearance for the release of "Is there Love in Space?" (nothing like hearing/watching Joe play from 8 feet away!!) and I have never been disapointed. I just picked up SC today, and I am not disapointed.

comparing Joe to Malmsteen is no good. Malmsteen may, arguably, be the fastest around, but his music lacks the soul of Satch (and yes, I was listening to Yngvie from his first album, which is still his best, and his complete arrogance is enough to make you puke. Vai is a bit better comparison, especially since he took lessons from Joe, but even his beginnings with Zappa do not put him on the same plane as Joe. While Vai is very creative, and very talented, he often overdoes it. Joe can change gears from highly complex, to beautifully simple, and change seamlessly.

one last thing, while he can play very fast, it is when he slows it down a bit that you can feel the soul pouring out of those amplifiers.

ok, enough venting, time to listen to SC some more.....

Super Colossal Poster

Other
One of the most innovative voices in contemporary American music, guitarist Joe Satriani celebrates two decades as a recording artist by releasing yet another consistently strong and refreshing platter of soulful goodness. Like his former student and sometime sparring partner Steve Vai, Satriani shows his virtuosity rests not only in his command over his instrument but also in his command of composition. "It's So Good," "One Robot's Dream," and the title cut are constructed with a master's sense of harmony, melody, and rhythm. Satch still shreds without compromise, as he demonstrates on "Bedshift Riders," but he also reminds us that he can compose gentle works of soul-stirring elegance as evidenced by "Ten Words," "A Love Eternal," and "A Cool New Way." With Super Colossal Satriani holds his place as one of the most imaginative and inspired minds of his--or any--musical generation. --Jedd Beaudoin
