5/5 ·
1967/ 1976
Not because Joe Satriani is a "guitar hero" "Not Of This Earth" is a Neoclassical Metal album or similar. "Not Of This Earth" is, in fact, a crossover album between Hard Rock/ AOR and Jazz Rock (guitar, in primis) without great distortions but with feelings and magic in first plan. The problem is that the music is, I think by choice in composition,dry and soulless. Is it a lack? On closer inspection this is an advantage. Since Joe Satriani can, thus, to express themselves 100% making us dream with our eyes open. In fact, the songs have aged really well and do not suffer from smudges or moments of decline. Why the songs are simple and straightforward and because magic.

Long life to "Not Of This Earth" and long life to Joe Satriani!
