Joe Satriani continiuously proves to me and many others why he is one of the best, if not the best guitarist in the world. The Extremist shows a change in style but still retaining the classic Satch sound that everybody loves. The opening track Friends is just simply beautiful, even before his lead guitar comes in. Rockers like The Extremist, War, and Motorcycle Driver are always great, as Satch always makes them. The song that sticks out the most to me is Why, and I dont understand why this song isn't more popular. It is seriously fantastic and I get a great amount of emotion from it...even just guitar lines! The only weak track here is Cryin', but its not all bad, cause even in this song Joe Satriani tosses in a great solo.
Amazing album, and one of my favorites ever.
