It's cool and all, but it's just not listenable.

3.5 greatTrey STAFF | February 28th 17

I can see how some people might find this unlistenable. First of all, instrumental rock/metal music has a limited fanbase to begin with, and Mechanical Nations can?t even fit comfortably into either of those genres. Felix Martin is a self-taught child prodigy from Venezuela. He eventually managed to go to Berklee College of Music, and eventually launched a solo career. His angle, if you want to call it that, is that he plays custom 13-, 14-, and 16-string guitars, and he plays them more like a bass guitar. A lot of the sounds that come from this album sound like a more melodic, more energetic version of what Les Claypool does on Primus songs. Basically, this guy plays all sorts of funky looking guitars and delivers some of the coolest instrumental music I?ve ever heard. It?s not metal by any stretch of the imagination, but it definitely has an edge. It?s like progressive rock/jazz/metal/unique shit. The twitchy rhythmic nature of the songs and the out of left field melodies just appeal to me.
