Dear Joe,
I told you this a few years ago and i´m gonna say it again.
I appreciate all your last albums cause they are good. But in my modest opinion your two last "high quality" albums were cristal planet and Engines of creation...
You are my favourite artist so i want to give you two advices as a fan:
1) Take more time to release a new album, i wouldn´t mind to wait three or four years if the result is another Cristal Planet album style... I mean that if you take the best two or three songs of your last three or four albums you would have one of your best albums during your career ,,, so please, take a break, enjoy chickenfoot now and release a new album in three or four years making a the best selection possible...
2) You must use more experimentation... engines of creation was something different from your other albums. Cristal Planet was different too than your previous albums. Joe Satriani was an amazing "blues and jazz" orientes album...
I´d like you to release a new sty7le album... options? Acoustic album with all your career hits recorded in accoustic. Another option? Keep the line of Engines of creation and give a new step in that direction. Third option: re-record all your hits with a new modern and experimental arrenements and sound...
Dear Joe, you´ve always known how to re-invent yourself... you should do it again... your last albums are good and i appreciate them but all of them follow the same line and style..l.
Big hug for you and all the fans !
I love you all !
Peace.
Carlos.
