Joe Satriani's 14th Studio Album: "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards"





I recently got this album at "Rock Corner". I expect it would be an awesome and it is. I personally dont really like the previous album which is the Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock. In this new album of Joe Satriani's, it features some differences compared to other Satriani's previous album. The songs are quite Satriani-ish but in this album he uses many different guitar effects. For example he uses wah pedal and octaver in the song titled "God Is Crying". It's quite unusual of Satriani doing that. The tracks I like the most in this album are "Wormhole Wizards" and "Wind In The Trees". The thing about "Wind In The Trees" is the whole rhythm guitar section is played using only natural harmonics which make this song is very unique. Basically, I like the whole album. Joe Satriani's albums are always worth a buy. Just get one and you'll know it !
