I agree with the other review strongly. This album is different to the rest but Satriani has explored many different genres already. The latest album 'Engines of Creation' is done using samples and electronic drum loops. It is very different to the traditional live Satriani sound but grows on you.
This record shows the funky side of Satriani with Manu Katche on drums providing a great groove and some delightful off-beat rhythms. From a drummer's point of view this is the best Satriani album but also if you like Satriani or a funky/jazzy touch, this is a must.

Joe with a band, eh? Whilst Chickenfoot is fun enough, this is much better, with no stupid vocals here (except on deliberately nuts "Look My Way"). Just lots of high class music here, starting and ending in great style and what`s inbetween is fantastic; I probably listen to this more than any other Joe solo record (of course I`m not counting "Surfing With The Alien" here!!! That`s at least six stars out of five). You get a very different style of Satch here, much more rhythm, and a lot more blues than we had heard before. I reckon this album gets better and better with time though. "Cool #9" opens things up, and is possibly Joe`s finest achievement...it`s got everything, slow, bluesy, funky start, whammy pedal both up and down an octave, artifical harmonics, crazy speed, wow...I love it, and it normally gets a repeat listen immediately and hearing it live might just be my favourite concert moment. A few other highlights for me are "Home", which is something like the vibe repeated on the "Professor Satchafunkilus..." album, on "Out Of The Sunrise". "Moroccan Sunset" is dark, and recreates some of the feel from side two of "Flying In A Blue Dream", or maybe would be perfectly ok slotted onto side two of "Surfing...". "Killer Bee Bop" is out of control, "Slow Down Blues" brings it right back to front porch somewhere in the deep south, with acoustic building up to proper electric blues. I love "You're My World", which has a sublime break in the middle, and things are wrapped up with "Sittin' Around", another gem in an album full of career highlights. Maybe there isn`t the sort of wizardry that people expected here, but I don`t think Joe has written better music than this. For the price amazon are selling this at, you should buy three and treat some of your family or friends too!

An unusual CD, very different to his other stuff. Kinda "jazzy" but accessible rocky stuff. Maybe the presence of Andy Fairweather-Lowe seems to tone down Joe's style and Joe explores areas of "guitar world" that he's not ventured into before. "Cool # 9" is, without doubt" THE coolest thing I have ever heard and sets the scene for the rest of the record. Who could forget "Luminous Flesh Giants" and "If" ? Try it, you'll love it !

Top-notch LP! by the Master-Satriani!
This is undoubtedly one of his best LP's ever, it must be in his top 5! Curiously it is one of the less talked about in forums or reviews of albums for purposes of comparison. Read more

Neat stuff
I like this album for many of the reasons that many other JS fans don't. It's slower paced, less focussed and sounds like Joe and a bunch of like minded friends got... Read more

Interesting
Not Satriani at his best but an interesting album. This album covers different styles from rock to be-bop. Read more

It's Satriani, Jim, but not as we know him.
Supposedly the brief for this album was to get away from the high-tech, multi-layered style for which Satch is known, (e.g. Read more

The most soulful album he ever did
Ok, so Joe isn't exactly blazing away on this record, but what he does is with such an intense feeling not captured on any of his other albums. Just listen to Down, down, down. Read more
