With Super Colossal, Joe Satriani proves once again, why he is the modern day master of the guitar. Just as he once again proves that vocals aren't needed, if one writes an outstanding piece of music. The thirteen tracks on this album stand alongside such albums as Crystal Planet and Engines Of Creation, in showing what can be accomplished, if one sets their mind to it...not to mention being one of the greatest guitar players alive today. On this album, Joe plays all the guitars, basses and keyboards, and uses two different drummers...Jeff Campetelli & Simon Phillips. It's interesting that in the booklet, Joe gives his thoughts about each of the songs on the album. While I missed Stuart Hamm's personal touch on bass, I have to admit, that this is the first album Joe has recorded without him, that I could truly call a masterpiece. I look forward to seeing him tour to support this album.Read full review
It's nice to hear yet another approach by Satch that turns out excellent. It's not as hard hitting as previous albums, but the album when listened to from beginning to end shows why this a masterpiece. Super Colossal, Crowd Chant and Redshift Riders have the usual Satch feel, but it's the rhythm section of this album that is unique. It's good to here Satch on other instruments again and no vocals. That singing into the fan type thing usually is a turn off. Hope to here this album on the next G3 tour. Rock on!
A solid release from one of rocks greatest guitarists.Super Colossal finds Joe Satriani in ever familiar territory with great tracks like "Super Colossal" "Redshift Riders" and the obvious stadium song "Crowd Chant".
GREAT album! Typical Satriani, with no bad surprises. The "Chant" song at the end is a MUST CRANK UP!!!! The whole album is fabulous!!!!!!
I have been a fan of Joe's tunes for many years. His new CD is a good one too. Not as hard hitting rock as his earlier CD's.But I am glad I have it, I give it 4 out of 5. Rock On Joe!
