Surfing With The Alien ~ Joe Satriani

I really enjoy this album, it's amazing. The guitar's nuts. The songs are technically intense, and sometimes when this happens the quality of the song suffers so that the guitarist can show off their mad skills, not so much the case with this album. All of the songs have amazing range and melody and can be listened to by the average person as just really great songs, not only by guitar students marvelling at what this guy can do, which is pretty intense in it's own right, but I'm hardly the person to talk up this guy's skill. This is more of an up beat album, not madly energetic, but calmly up beat, if that makes sense. I'd have to say that my favourite songs would be surfing with the alien and lords of karma, but quite honestly all of the songs are amazingly well done
