CD ReviewsVai writes beautiful songs Benjamin P. Pugh | 02/16/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love Steve Vai. As John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess put in the liner notes of their recent duo album, I thank God for Steve Vai's very existence. I can't stop listening to this album. All the songs are incredible - writing, musicianship, delivery, passion. The highlight on the album is the seventh song, Whispering a Prayer. As far as I can tell, the song has been nominated for three grammys in successive years (the latest being Steve's performance on the most recent G3 live album). It is a disgrace to Grammy voters that this song has not won yet. This year, Brian Wilson's "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" instrumental from "Smile" beat out "Whispering a Prayer." I love "Smile" but, c'mon that song was barely a song. The moment that sums up the greatness of "Whispering a Prayer" best is the reaction of the Buenos Aires crowd at the conclusion of the song. This is the first time they've heard the song. Steve begins the track saying he's playing a new song for them. Whenever you go to a concert and hear that a new song is coming, what is your reaction? That's right - I hope it doesn't suck. Well, here, after Steve absolutely NAILS it (that pinch harmonic in the middle kills me every time), the crowd spontaneously bursts into the universal South American soccer chant - ole . . . ole ole ole . . . ole ole . . . ole ole - and holds it until Steve breaks in with "I think that was a good take." Understatement of the decade, Steve." Steve takes us on another ride E. Person | Brooklyn, NY | 07/02/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Here's the deal: CD#1 Very good, CD#2 not so good. But the last song, "Brandos Costumes" (Gentle Ways) is so beautiful, and it contains some of his best playing anywhere!!! His acoustic guitar playing is full of the best of everything we love about this man's music. I think Steve's eclecticism sometimes baffles many of his fans. Sometimes you have to sift through his records for the gems that are there. You may not like everything, but when he delivers, oh he delivers!!!! " Mesmerizing Krishna Lakshminarasimhan | 03/30/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "i love steve vai.. and i think this is one of his best CDs.. i personally am biased towards live recordings anyway...
you don't have to be a rack fan to enjoy this.. it is just pure music from a musician who loves playing his instrument.. so easy to get lost in it.. you won't regret buying this.." |
