Free Music Notes for Electric Guitarist
Free Music Review: not that great
Hit: 3 Stars
I'm not very fond of this John McLaughlin album. For the last year or so I've been enjoying his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Santana, and Electric Guitarist just doesn't feel as exciting as the stuff he was doing with those artists.
In the early 70's, McLaughlin's guitar playing featured a distinct style, lots of exciting and memorable licks, and an extremely heavy sound. On Electric Guitarist, it sounds like McLaughlin is just hurrying along his jazzy guitar playing without much concern for memorable songwriting.
In other words, it's a very predictable way to create a jazz/rock album. Most of the guitar playing doesn't stand out to me, and I wonder if he started losing his ability to create ideas by this point. Either that or disco was really messing with his songwriting skills.
So, if you're looking for that insane kind of intensity McLaughlin was exceptionally good at on those old Mahavishnu Orchestra albums, sadly you won't find any of that here. In fact, his early solo albums were even a significant improvement compared to this. We need some better songwriting folks.
