Title: A Truly Awful Album
Product review: I can review a Nels Cline solo album and use a word like "awful" and it would be applicable to all of them. Having said that, this album blows. In fact, I don't even know why good guitarists like Cline choose to play a "free" jazz style anyway? Could it be that his compositional skills aren't that great? Could it be that he just doesn't have any idea what good jazz music is? Chances are all the above. Random noises, vast amounts of feedback, and heavy distorted guitar doesn't constitute good music. This "music" goes against everything music stands for. No structure, no melody, no rhythm, and no harmony. Without these crucial components, then all you will have left is anarchy. Don't believe the hype about Nels Cline. Go ahead and explore the sonic worlds of Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie, Terje Rypdal, and Steve Tibbetts. You can't go wrong with any of these fantastic jazz guitarists.
