 (3 Customer Reviews)
Pity the man who thought George Lynch was merely an Igor to Don Dokken's Frankenstein. Though he's fared well in the aforementioned group and his own project, Lynch Mob, it's on Sacred Groove that Lynch branches out into territory normally shunned in the metal world. Going into the melodic territory of Joe Satriani while maintaining his own unique guitar tone and acrobatics, Lynch wears his title of guitar guru proudly on his sleeve, especially during a time when grunge was at the forefront of popular American rock's collective consciousness. Of course there are moments of weakness that keep Sacred Groove from being a truly essential shredder record. Like Steve Vai's Sex & Religion project, the vocalists recruited for this project do nothing to add to the songs other than to serve as another instrument for those who tire of straight guitar virtuosity. Program those songs out of the rotation and you have a tightly focused and extremely confident listening experience for any serious student of metal guitar acrobatics. ~ Rob Theakston

 LYNCH IS AWESOME
I think George Lynch is one of the, if not the best guitarist ever and he is very very underrated. His guitar work on this album was pretty insane, but i don't think as good as his old Dokken days, but I was still pretty impressed

 Good album
Some of this is excellent,but it doesn't quite rate five stars in my book because some of the material is a bit weak. However,lots of tasty GL guitar work,and tracks 2 & 3 are top notch. I'd say definitely worth having.

Sacred Groove (Elektra) album
 $13.09  
With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does have a few tougher numbers that pick up on the lean, mean vibe of 2008's THAT DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY -- "Every Dog Has Its Day," the sly "If I Had One," and the heavy blues stomp "Loaded" ...

$13.85
It's hard to not be impressed by the sheer sonic onslaught that is otherwise known as Nile. Except to the most hardened death metal fanatic, the genre has a way of sounding the same after a while, but Nile is one of the few exceptions -- able to put their own unmistakable fingerprints on this heavy duty style (Egyptian-influenced lyrics and musical bits, highly impressive instrumental dexterity, etc.). ...
