Title: Slick studio -pop sounding
Product review: I was extremly disapointed in this 3rd release from the NMAS. I have been a huge fan up until now. If this is the direction that the band is going, then I'm going the other way. Gone are the jams, the Les Pauls through cranked Marshalls that dominate 51 Phantom. Gone is the great blues of Shake Hands with Shorty. This sounds like they're trying to break onto the Top 40 airwaves. I don't know what happened. Did the record company say that they wanted more mainstream/pop-sounding stuff? Was the band stupid enough to listen to them. If so, then I along with many NMAS fans have lost a lot of respect for them. These guys are great musicians but Polaris is terrible. Save your money. Shake Hands with Shorty and 51 Phantom are great CD's. Personally I'm using my copy of Polaris as a coaster.
