The awesome debut CD of the power trio known as Niacin., 13 Jun 1998
By marajade@bellatlantic.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Niacin (Audio CD)
This CD is for fans of instrumental Jazz Fusion styled playing with a dash of Rock n Roll. The ferocious playing will surely blow your mind. John Novello plays a mean B-3 organ a la Keith Emerson, etc. while Dennis Chambers provides a steady groove on the drums. Add bassist virtuoso Billy Sheehan and you have the band Niacin. This CD will take you through a variety of adventurous moods and styles of playing. It is hard to believe that this CD is their first. Bassists need to check out the song Clean Up Crew to believe it. I give it my highest recommendation.

Enjoy Honing Your Listening Skills, 1 Feb 2012
By Craig Nelson Hamilton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Niacin (Audio CD)
If you haven't heard of Billy Sheehan or Dennis Chambers, then you are probably out of touch with the best of today's musicians. Don't worry, if you are in touch with who is the best and listen to them, you will probably be listening to music by yourself. Often hip sounding music doesn't draw crowds that commensurate the actual coolness of the music. Niacin doesn't exactly have a big fan base. If you love music, and I mean loving music not so that you fit in, but because you like combinations of notes, various chord voicing, or the beat, you are well on your way to appreciating a band like Niacin. However, it is true that people that like pop music sometimes like these things to. So really, the question is whether or not you want to improve your ears while listening to great music? Pop music is too fad driven it to ever be much assistance in improving one's ears. Why would you want to improve your ears? Asking that question is like asking why some people go to the gym. My guess is that you won't be able to find Niacin in the store. They are just too rare. However, if you are looking for something that will challenge your listening skills, this is a great album. And, yes, I would describe Niacin as hip, and my affection for them is certainly greater than one I might have for a math equation.

Not close to their other 4 CD's - a true freshman effort - enter at your own risk, 9 Mar 2009
By the drummer "kneelpert" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Niacin (Audio CD)
After listening to all FIVE of Niacin's CD's I must say this one is lackluster compared to the others all of which I would rate at 4 1/2 stars or higher. There are signs of the genius on this CD that Niacin is but not enough to warrant a repeat listen. Buy the other FOUR CD's and skip this one unless you are diehard. 'Time Crunch' is their best to date and is a great place to start your Niacin diet as well as 'Deep' which came out after this CD and shows unreal progression from this mundane CD. Hope I saved you some cash or boredom.
'Nuff said!!!
