Title: Unlike Neal Schon
Review: As many other listeners had written, I am a great fan of Neal's music. But the latest effort I on U is a disappointing one. Neal is a tremendous guitar player, I have advocated this fact even while he was playing second fiddle to Santana from 1970-72 and later with Journey. Then of course he had a memorable stint with Jan Hammer in the 80's. I on U is unlike Neal's earlier solo efforts namely Electric World & Beyond the Thunder. Even the album Voice incorporating some popular hits sounded much better. In the current CD, Neal's guitar melody is there throughout, I think it's the instrumentation that suffers particularly the percussion & keyboards. It sounds so unnatural & contrived. Neal is basically a rock guitarist & to see him indulge in an album like this finds him like a fish out of water.
