Title: Well, well....
Review: What can I say. I'm a big fan of Metheny's guitar...But this album really shows who he is musically. He's a master guitar player, with beautiful phrases, tone, experiments, etc... But here is a question to Pat: Where is the music? The music that touches people's hearts? Why changing keys with no point to it? Or why using harmonies filled with holes and emptiness? Is it just fun with the math? If so, this is not about music, this is about research and science. But to add to it, it's not even interesting... It's a boring math, nothing that sparks an excitement. Music is the truth, you either reach it or you don't. It exists regardless how and what methods we're trying to research it with. So, unfortunately this album did not any touch with the real. It's probably the most artificial of his career, in the full meaning of "art" as not natural...I'm giving 2 stars because it's Metheny, but that's it...I know he can do much better, connect through your heart, Pat!
