 Satriani Speed with SRV Passion December 30, 2008
Damien Stratton (Potomac, MD)
This is my favorite Satriani album. He takes a step back and plays more blues and melodic arrangements. He doesn't focus so much on speed, such as on Surfing with the Alien (an amazing, groundbreaking album) Surfing with the Alien. Instead, he plays like Satriani, but with more intensity and passion. Also, probably one of the best sounding albums as far as recording quality.
Hope You're Willing To Read Review #43 October 2, 2008

Was looking for a jpeg and decided to write a review, and thank you for your patience if you've already read 1-42. Anyway, I didn't read them all, but while the first half-dozen reviews mention the fact that this is likely Satriani's most laid-back album, none of them mention either the fact that Glyn Johns (The Beattles, The Who, The Stones, Elton John, and almost anyone else who's ever made a record) produced the songs or that Nathan East (bass) and Manu Katche (drums) play on most of them. Bummer. Along with his first--and strangest, since he made it between sessions and teaching gigs, and did most everything but play drums--album, Not Of This Earth(1986), and his most ambitious--hey, I don't know of any Electronica artists capable of playing a guitar as well as Satriani--album, Engines Of Creation(2000), Joe Satriani(1995) is one of my favorite albums by Mr. Satriani. Sure, the Surfing With The Alien(1987)/Flying In A Blue Dream(1989) era stuff is still fresh and amazing, and his newer albums, Is There Love In Space?(2004) and Super Colossal(2006), show that he still owns his guitar. However, I would argue that Joe Satriani(1995) is the only Satriani album where he allows the other musicians to rip it up as much as he typically does. Heck, this could be called The Manu Katche Album given how many times he fills blank spaces tastfully with quick and tricky drum-work. I realize that most people don't like to think (which is probably why The Extremist(1992) remains one of Satriani's most popular albums to date--young brothers on bass and drums, told exactly what to do: don't rock the boat, keep a beat, call me sir). But if you're looking for a Satriani album that might actually be considered fusion (in a broad sense of the word) and has a markedly higher level of overall musicianship than most of his other efforts, check out Joe Satriani(1995). It might just please you.
 Joe rocks again August 8, 2008
Stephen Len White (Bartlett, TN United States)
Once again, Mr Satriani shows why he is a guitar teacher as well as performer. Every track has licks you wish you could go back and listen to in slow motion-a hundred times. I can see him schooling the younger guys that have come in the last ten to twenty years-Vai, Shepherd-and showing them the way (which they have done successfully as well) to make the instrument sing-to make the instrument so very listenable. Having seen the G3 tour a couple of times, I marvel at the way these songs are reproduced live sometimes more than the way they are done in the studio. The album is a must have for any guitar enthusiast.
SATRIANI'S FINEST HOUR January 3, 2008
ALEX RODRIGUEZ (SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA USA)
Joe Satriani's self-titled album and Super Colossal album in my opinion is Joe's finest hour. The first song Cool #9 has great solos and is one of my favorite songs here, the second song If has some catchy rifs, the third song Down,Down,Down Joe plays the blues,the fourth song here Luminous Flesh Giants is like a Seattle grunge rock sounding song and is my favorite here. The other songs are good but that's all i feel about commenting it.
 sleepy December 17, 2007
Richard M. Kern (Cincinnati, OH)
Before I picked this up I only owned the first few albums: Earth, Surfing, Flying and the live one, Time Machine. Love 'em all. Got inspired to start rounding out the collection after re-watching my Satch Tapes video. I picked up this one and The Extremist. Extremist rocks hard. Oozes energy and vibe. This one is just sleepy. Sounds uninspired to me.
I guess Joe was going for a subdued, bluesy album. He got it. I just found it hard to finish listening to the whole disc. Played it again. No better. I guess I'm just a shallow, knuckle-dragging rocker but I need more flash to keep my attention in an instrumental guitar album, but hey, if you want to hear one of the best guitar players on the planet play with subtlety and restraint this just might be the album for you.
