8. Opus PocusAaahhh! Another shredding album for the ages. Let me just start by saying Becker's tone is probably one of the coolest I've ever heard. .Jason Becker plays all lead, rhythm, and bass guitars and keyboards, with guest solos by Marty Friedman and Atma Anur on drums. All over this album there is sweeping, string skipping, lightning fast walk-ups and walk-downs and random whammy bar abuse (which sometimes is annoying). I just love all the songs here, especially "Altitudes", "Air" and "Opus Pocus." This album is melodic yet very odd!
This is one of my favorite shred albums. Jason Becker is insane, I tell you. He's like Malmsteen times 2, and again the appearence of Marty Friedman on a few songs just adds to the overall sweetness of this album. I'm a big fan of shred music and this is my second favorite shred cd so I think you should find it and buy it. So turn it on and let your head spin for 42 minutes of pure shred-insanity. If I would lost it I would definitely buy a replacement ASAP, too bad there are only few copies of this cd available. I'm just lucky to have it!
Rating: 5/5
Rock on!
