A new twist on great rock guitar! author: Tommy Williams -- I've been giving No Strings Attached quite a few spins. The music really stands on it's own without vocals and the addition of a singer would have only diluted these songs. DDBopp is a great opener. The song rocks! After listening to it I am confident though that I could never fairly mix a song. My ears hone in on the lead guitar and I would have cranked it up even higher in the mix at the expense of the entire song. Green Bay Reggae also has some great guitar work and it has a real bluesy feel to it in spots. Help! is brilliant - starting out with the arpeggiations and then building on them. It was this track where I fully realized how the guitar tells the story instead of a singer. Bugs Bite is another great track with some teeth and I love the bass guitar track to it. Reminds me a lot of John Paul Jones. Cocagne was disappointing to me the first time around (I just didn't get it at first) but after subsequent listens it has grown on me. Breaking Caylee rounds out a terrific effort and I love the way it builds from an easy laid back intro to a full-fledged rocker in less than 2 minutes. The sound of the entire disc is phenomenal.
Highly recommended to anyone that likes a new twist on great rock guitar!
