Title: Paul Gilbert can write better material than this.
Product review: The reviews that are shunning this album do not surprise me. Paul Gilbert always seems to be trying something different once in a while and then coming well off the rails. His solo albums were never a real hit with the Racer X faithful, except a few, but this album again is a diversification away from what the ardent fans really want to hear. I would love Racer X to return to their Eighties heyday and release a blistering album like Second heat again. Energy shred with monster riffs is what Paul Gilbert was always famous for and whilst the previous 2 albums aren't bad, I feel the original magic that made Racer-X one of the best live bands in their heyday just isn't there anymore. I only hope they could get it back. Perhaps Paul Gilbert should look for an additional shredder to join the band because that may be whats missing.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
