 Another great Satriani album! Nov 17, 2009
Just as the rooster crows and the wolf howls, so does Joe Satriani play his guitar at inhuman levels - Satch continues his trend with his 2008 album 'Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock.' I really like this album - 'Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock' is definitely another fantastic Joe Satriani album.
When I first popped the 'Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock' CD in my car CD player, I was hit with a revived 80s sounding Satriani with the first tune on the album, "Musterion." With a style reminiscent of Satch's first album 'Not Of This Earth' combined with the dreamy feeling of one of his best songs, "Flying In A Blue Dream," "Musterion" is a great song and the perfect way to start the album. "Overdriver" follows, a high flying spacious groove that I predict will be a live Joe Satriani staple in the future. Joe switches gears with the fun rock tune "I Just Wana Rock" and the messy jam "Professor Satchafunkilus."
Then comes "Revelation," the crown jewel in the album and Joe Satriani's best song since - well, 2 years ago with "A Cool New Way" but you get my point! A tender powerhouse, this song both rocks the house down and takes you on an emotional odyssey with warm tones, a Satch solo filled with power, and melodies that hit me deep - what a tune. From "Revelation" on, this second half of the album is even better than the first. "Come On Baby" is a smooth guitar ballad and "Out Of The Sunshine" is one of the best songs on the album - a cheerful & moving groove with a Satriani-style island groove interjected in the middle of the song. "Diddle-Y-A-Doo-Dat" showcases another great Joe Satriani boogie-like guitar tune of "Satch Boogie" proportions; the epic iceberg of a tune "Asik Vaysel" is a great addition to the album (and a great driving song I might add); and the album finishes with "Andalusia," a real good tune with a world-music start and a traditional Joe Satriani jam end.
Well done Joe and thanks again for another wonderful album!
Satriani' s Mona Lisa. Oct 03, 2009
The run of notes and melodies played with such depth is truly amazing on this work from Mr. Joe Satriani. I can only begin to imagine what lies ahead in Mr. Satriani's composing.
There is groove, there is heart, and there is thought on this masterpiece of virtuoso rock guitar CD. Mr. Satriani's catalog has very exceptional work. But this one is truly super impressive. Wow!
Joe's Back! May 31, 2009
There are a lot of fast and flash guitarest but Joe is so much more than that. His music is intelligent and soulful. His music grows the more you listen to it. I keep bumbing the volume up....you just can't help it!
This is the Joe I fell in love with! I love this disk. The man has a way of doing a spinal tap on me musically and this one hits the bone! After "Super Colossal" I was a bit worried that Joe had turned a corner but this one is true to his old form but still so very fresh. He can do that like no other. What else can I say....It's JOE!

 One of my least favorite Satriani albums May 22, 2009
I'll start with the obligatory statement of "I am a huge Joe Satriani fan." I have everything he has ever released. However, this album almost never makes it into my CD player. None of the songs have a catchy hook. The slower songs don't really reach the 'touching' levels of Always With Me, Always With You or Ten Words, or other slow Satch songs. Don't get me wrong, for Satriani fans, it is acceptable - just not great. His playing is great as always, I just wish he would go in another direction. Revelation is decent, I suppose. But "I Just Wanna Rock?" I thought Crowd Chant shallow, now I see an even worse effort in that one. I suggest purchasing almost any other of his entries (except the bad ones mentioned above) or wait for his new project Chickenfoot.
Satch Boogie.... Apr 06, 2009
I always look forward to the next Satriani release. I've learned more about how to express yourself instrumentally from this guy than anyone else, that's not even close. Nobody makes the guitar "talk" like Satch. I'd really put an extra half a star on this, if possible. But to give it 4 is honestly a stretch, its a 3 and a half er. It stands out a bit more than the previous cd, "Super Colossal". Despite its title (SC), it rarely got out of second gear and seemed a tad lacking. You can always count on some gems with Joe though....and Prof. Satch's first two tracks deliver that, along with the title track and "Andalusia". Satch his his usual suspects on board....drummer Jeff Campetelli and bassist Matt Bissonette.
