Shredaholic.com – Review of The New

Today we will be reviewing this awesome CD from none other then the great Mike Campese, a guitarist who writes in lots of great and different styles, and even vocals on a lot of the songs! Lets get going…

The album has a whole lot of different mixture of songs covering loads of different styles. I hear Blues, Rock, Neo-classical, Jazz, acoustic, shred, funk… all sorts! It’s particularly impressive how the songs on the album gel together and sound great while still containing this much diversity, and a testament to Mike’s song writing abilities.

Campese does not overdo the speed factor; he plays very tastefully and melodically, great phrasing in his playing as well. Very technical playing as well, especially seen as he covers many different styles. Also, the vocals are very good and fitting, and add even more variety to this album!

This album, as mentioned above, has a great variety of different styles of songs, which makes for an interesting listen and is great if you grow tired of
listening to the same style of song over and over. Overall, it is a very good album and a fun listen! All the songs are well constructed and sound great, definitely a recommended disc to check out.
