Review of "Studs N' Sisters"
|
By: Adam Harrold
side from some rather pointless voiceovers and intros, this album is a goldmine. With a style very reminiscent of Vai or Satriani, the Ten guitarist gives us a surprising array of inspirational and melodic tunes to choose from. The fretwork is extremely crisp and at the same time retains great melody. The album has a fresh lively feel about it with a few genuine foot-tappers among the thirteen tracks on offer. The top track "Studs N' Sisters" is a very snappy number and grabs your attention immediately and "Riding for a Fall" displays a high level of skill and is a multi-layered composition. The album also contains a cheeky take on Madonna's "Material Girl", which works surprisingly well. For future information: the only people who can really get away with doing voiceovers are Mr Burton (not Tim) or Mr Schwarzenegger. (3.5/5)
