3.0 out of 5 stars Hackett To Pieces, 13 April 2007
By Mr. J. Hulme (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If I look at this truthfully and not through my Genesis rose tinted glasses. It is not a very good album when you put it against his other albums. It meanders here and there but never goes anywhere interesting, SORRY STEVE!
But He-hoy this guy is a guitar genius. Even his most blandest albums, and this is certainly one of them, is better then most peoples. If you are new to Steve Hackett then move along, there is nothing to see here.
Evening all

4.0 out of 5 stars Deserves to be re-mastered, 21 Sep 2008
By K. O'Leary (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't really understand the lack of interest in this album, which I personally rate slightly above "Defector". After the half-baked pop of "Cured" this album sounds like it was made by a rock band again.

The opening track "Camino Royale" scorches of the mark with rip-snorting guitar before settling down into a bizzare, owl-like, twit-twooing arrangement with "Carpet Crawl" style lyrics; this is Steve's territory alright. It also has a wonderful catchy chorus, as do many others on the album including "Give it away" which could have been Steve's greatest hit if released as a single instead of "Cell 151" (good as that song is). "India rubber man" is another success, a gentler piano led piece this time.

Steve normally has one or two "lighter" tracks on his albums, and rather like a mad scientist creating a doomsday weapon or some other montrous affront to nature, he just can't resist dabbling with pop music. Lying on his laboratory slab for us this time are the arguably more successful "Walking through walls" (an enjoyable listen, apart from the potato crisp instrumentation at the end) and "Weightless" (a rather bland song about hang-gliding and the weakest on the album).

There are three excellent instrumentals; "Always Somewhere Else", which has a beautiful (electric) guitar intro, and the more uplifting "Group Therapy" which always sounds to me like music a DJ might choose to play in the background while he counts down the Top Twenty (that would be an abuse of course). The final non-vocal track is the shortish closer "Hackett to pieces", which is a sort of Los Endos to Camino Royale's Squonk. Interestingly, "Always Somewhere Else" also shares a motif with "India Rubber Man".

The new re-master by the way is of a very high quality - very punchy, as are all those from Camino I have heard.
