5.0 out of 5 stars
A little more mellow than recent albums, but beautiful.,
This review is from: Is There Love In Space? (Audio CD)
The opening track starts with a cool, head-nodding groove below a shifted lead guitar tone reminisent of Cool#9 on the "Joe Satriani" album. Much of the rest of the album follows a similar style to that set by the opening track; a little more rock oriented than the previous 2 studio albums, although there's still loads of astonishing sonic guitar control.There's plenty of incredible playing, as you'd expect from Mr Satriani, plus two surprisingly good vocal tracks, but Satriani always manages to keep the music in front of the musicianship, several listens in and I'm still finding the trademark fluid runs in abundance. There's a good helping of Hendrix influence here, too. Particular highlights are "Gnaah", "Is There Love In Space?" and "Bamboo".

No anti-climax here!...,
This review is from: Is There Love In Space? (Audio CD)
Being a huge Satriani fan, i bought this the day of release and sat and listened to it. Needless to say I was blown away. It's a cross between 'Strange Beautiful Music' and 'Flying In A Blue Dream'. This album is an awesome array of tone and elegance, each track being perfectly executed. All 11 tracks have fantastic riffs, more so than previous albums even, and blistering solos. The stand out tracks are 'Hands in The Air' with mega-catchy riffs, and 'The Souls Of Distortion' with a beautiful heavy sound and the guitar sounding like its talking to you. And it's nice to hear joe singing again on the rockin' 'Lifestyle' and the funky 'I Like The Rain'. This album will make u pull out that old 3/4 guitar from the loft and get trained up 'joey-style'.

Could have been so much more..,
This review is from: Is There Love In Space? (Audio CD)
For those hoping to a return to the form shown on Crystal Planet, you'll be disappointed. I bought this without hearing any samples from the album, purely on the strength of it being a new Satch record. And nothing hurts more than an incomplete collection.I'll get to the point. Satch should be more memorable than this. The melodies and chord structures are usually so original and different they lodge in your mind. ITLIS just doesn't have any hook, any particular sound that unifies the album. The songs are far too formulaic (melody, solo, melody, outro solo), and the drumming isn't going to set the world on fire. Where's Jeff and Stu? If this is direction Joe intends to follow, I'm going to lose interest pretty soon. This is a sad thing, because it was the strength of his composition and playing that made me pick the guitar up in the first place. I do try to enjoy his vocals, but they seem like an attempt to cover up unimaginative writing in some cases. But I'll probably keep buying his records to see how he progresses. Maybe in a few years time, he'll pull out something as original as Engines or "Joe Satriani" again, and create some interest. ITLIS is far too safe for my liking.
