DEAR JOE,
I hope the upcoming record sounds good!
..............and I hope for a good mix and mastering as well.
Super Colossal was too compressed (IMO), the title track sounds very harsh against the great sounding Surfing or Flying.
I hate LOUDNESS!!!

Too late..........
.....
.....
but I hope the upcoming record isn't as loud as many modern masterings today. They sound loud and compressed.... unlistenable after a few minutes.

from AMG
With the good comes the bad, and at the album's most embarrassing moment, "I Just Wanna Rock" advertises cornball clichés with a proudly clanked cowbell, a talkbox Frampton-izing, and a boisterous crowd chant-along. This is a new low for Joe -- practically an open letter admitting that he's OK with the idea of becoming passé. At a time when his former pupil Steve Vai is experimenting with radical orchestral arrangements, it would be nice to see the professor branch even further away from his trademark style, ditch the '80s production, and try something more unconventional, but for the most part he's doing what he does best here, and fans will be content with that

I have heard the CD today... a big stepdown after Super Colossal.
A few great tracks..... but also a few fillers.
I really miss the creativity like on Surfing... Flying.
...and please stop that crazy chants... sounds so aweful!

I have heard the new CD/DVD many times.
First the good news: the Bonus DVD is great. Love he extra package.
Bad news: I'm really disappointed with the new CD by Satch.
I miss the great Wah-Wah solos like on Super Colossal... bad song structures on the last 2 songs.... great beginning... bad ending. I always thought Crowd Chant was the deepest step down, but Wanna Rock is the worst song I've ever heard from Satriani.
Conclusion: Professor Satch sounds like Jamming, not like an oneness like on Surfing, Extremist or Super Colossal.

What comes next...........
I would like to hear a really strong album. Why not a record with exceptional session musicians? Style: more bluesy or jazzy.
Joe Satriani - Stu Hamm on bass, Mike Portnoy on drums.
That works better as the same Rock formula since Strange Beautiful Music. Go back to experimental styles like on Surfing, Flying, Engines.
I know it's hard after more than 20 years in the music business.
See you on tour in Germany.

It's great Joe will play with a band!!!
But I don't believe the record will sound good... but Sammy Hagar is just a painful singer!
I hope Joe will bring a new solo album as soon as possible.

The new album title is cool.
The Teaser sounds good... but why the heck the hand clap effects again ;-)
And I hope the mix and mastering is better than the compressed sound on Professor...
Can't wait to see Satch on stage.

The new record is good..... love the catchy tunes.
...and I'm happy it's not so compressed like the last 2 albums. Good Mix/Mastering for a new Rock album. Say no to LOUDNESS WAR!

When I heard "Black Swans..." the first time... I thought... well, it's good, but not great. But after more listening, I must say... it's awesome!!!!!!!
The BEST Satriani album since "Crystal Planet" I love the keyboard textures.... great bass playing and the wonderful guitar playing by Satch. Oh well... Jeff... where are the fills? Your drumming was better on other recordings.
Anyway... I can't stop listen to "Black Swans..." a great album!

The new album is good, but the mastering is far too loud and compressed! Can't listen at loud levels. One of the worst masterings I've heard this year!!!

Well, that's not the way I'm hearing music. The first three albums (Not of this Earth, Surfing..., Flying...) have outstanding audio quality.
Unstoppable Moments has the same compressed audio like many new recordings. No dynamics... no life in the music!!!

Hi Joe, I own all your albums, but the new one is disappointing. Great guitar playing, but I miss the great melodies from the early albums. The production and mix is too flat... too much compression in the mix. Can't hear any breath in the mix like on Blow by Blow.
