Finally a recording artist who got it right!!! pure guitar perfection!

First let\\\'s revisit our definition of metal:

for a song to use the title Metal anywhere in it\\\'s genre it must

1. Have a bass player and drummer capable of shaking the foundations of the earth to the point that Satan pops his head out from the netherworld and asks \\\" Who the hell is that?\\\"

2. A guitar player capable of calling down thunder and lightning from the heavens to strike the corpse of Mozart, bring it to life and draw forth the technical expertise from his soul and still have enough lightning left over to zap Satan in the head and send him fleeing back to the netherworld.

3. A vocalist whose voice is so dynamic that even the angels ask God to let him or her join the choir.

Scott Landers track Polyphony Overload may lack item three, since the track is instrumental metal, however it lives up faithfully to the other criteria, especially item 2 which is the most important one since real Metal begins where the Metal (the strings) hit the guitar fretboard.

In that regard Polyphony Overload is pure fretboard perfection!- it has it all:
the opening riff, the twin harmony leads, the EVH like tapped solos, and above all else the clarity of the guitar tone punching through the wall of sound on the rhythm parts and violin sweet on the solos. The best part of Polyphony Overload is it is not just mindless soloing, it is not a jam session. It has a solid sense of a carefully thought out arrangement and melody that would make Mozart proud, a purposeful sense of forward motion and building intensity that will sustain you interest, and as many twists and turns as a roller coaster ride. It\\\'s all there, it\\\'s all done right, it is ALL GOOD!!!

What was most impressive about this track is Scott\\\'s sense of restraint, something so rare in both guitarists and self proclaimed metal artists, as many lack and understanding of it and so few know how to actually use it. Scott knows when to let the guitar thunder roar and when to let the lightning gracefully sparkle down from heaven.

And for that Scott wins our unconditional MAKE MORE!!!! stamp of approval and make sure we are the first to know when the CD comes out.
The rest of you guitarists out there pull up a chair and an mp3 player, listen to Scott and take notes, this is how it is done.
