Album Review

MARTY FRIEDMAN, born as Martin Adam Friedman on 8th December 1962 is a US- American Guitar player and host of a Japanese entertainment show about playing guitar. He is well known for his nine year period as lead guitarist for MEGADETH. Before becoming famous with MEGADETH he played in the bands CACOPHONY (with Jason Becker), VIXEN and HAWAII. He played on 22 records since he started as a guitarist.

At first I’d like to mention how much respect I have for Mr Friedman’s work and how much talent he’s got. No offense meant but I fucking hate the song ‘Meat Hook’ Friedman plays his guitar like a demigod from high above but there is a unidentified sound effect every now and then in this song that is most disturbing (the effect of this sound is that its making be angry). The song ‘I can’t Relax’ is the first highpoint on the record (thanks to DANKO JONES) after that the song ‘Lycanthrope’ has to be mentioned because it is fucking great, this song mixes DANKO JONES rock and roll voice with Alexi Laiho’s unholy snarls and growls (which is totally metal).

Concluding I have to say that this record is more or less an acoustic experience (because there is hardly any singer involved in the whole shebang) which is fine for everyone who is a fan of this kind of listening session (I am not) I love me some DANKO JONES but then again I want him to sing on every god damn song! Friedman is a very good guitarist, if not one of the best there is but I need vocals in my music and a couple of songs with vocals is not enough to keep me satisfied…
