Surfing With The Alien
Joe Satriani's 1987 debut remains one of the defining instrumental rock albums, and this 2007 Legacy reissue brings it back into focus. Satriani is a guitarist of genuine virtuosity, but what matters is that he writes memorable melodies and builds interesting arrangements around his technical command. The album blends blues rock feel, neoclassical metal shred, and pure rock accessibility—"Surfing With The Alien" and "Always With Me, Always With You" are iconic for good reason. This is essential listening for anyone who cares about electric guitar.
