Some pleasantries. Mostly noodling.

"I've been a Metheny fan since before '84, New Chataqua was my first album of his and First Circle was likely the first Group album I bought. Since then, I've bought several official and unofficial Group albums. I, too, am impressed by Metheny's efforts in trying new things. On the other hand, I tend to be unmoved by some of the more 'experimental' efforts and am somewhat put off by the premium prices for his work compared to other artists.



I first heard anything off of this album about 2 weeks ago on an internet music site -- Song for the Boys. Pleasant enough melody and style. So, I borrowed the album from my local public library.



Well, I didn't even play it through; I skipped from track to track in about 20 minutes and nothing grabbed me enough to consider a purchase (nor did I rip it). Just didn't do much for me. With rare exceptions, the music just meanders along inoffensively. For my money, there is much better solo guitar out there, even on a certain E music site, than this particular Metheny album. However, if you think you might like to hang out in the general vicinity while Metheny noodles about, then you may well enjoy this album."
Some amazing parts but underdeveloped and redundant as well

"As always, Metheny's technical prowess never ceases to amaze, and with this unique venture into solo acoustic introspective mode, fans are treated to another side and music lover's are treated to another language in which jazz guitar may speak. That language, however, becomes rather limited and somewhat rambling as an album whole, despite each track holding promise in some regard."
