Free Music Notes for Surfing with the Alien
Free Music Review: Hang ten, good buddy!
Hit: 5 Stars
A totally superior album in almost every regard. With a couple of qualifiers. One: you like marvel comics. Marvel, in case you are not aware, usually (well, up till the 90s) had a straightforward approach, the good guys were distinguishable. Easy to focus on, though with a lot of subtle stuff in between frames, in frames, etc. This albums a lot like that, cuz first of all, it's all about marvel. And American comics in general. The last song is especially about its waning. Second: the hero is the guitarist. Everything else takes a back seat. The drumming is competent, the bass is competent, there's no singer. But oy, can Satriani ever play! I would be very hard pressed to point to more than a handful of guitarists whose skills are so evident! Pluck, pluck, pluck! Also, like a comic: its compressed. The songs are all superinteresting and excellent, but the album's play time is quite short (around 40 minutes) If you absolutely require a singer, and superawesome bass and drums, as well as a long play time, you'll probably think this is about 4 stars.
Note: I was extremely disappointed to discover that none of these songs were included in the recent FFour movie. Yknow, the one with the surfer?
