Our Take

Steve Vai's Flex-Able: 36th Anniversary is a peculiar beast of an album, much like Vai himself. Known for his virtuosic guitar skills and eclectic musical tastes, Vai doesn't hold back on this debut solo album. From the opening track "Little Green Men" to the epic closer "So Happy," Flex-Able is a rollercoaster ride of musical madness.

The album is a mishmash of genres, blending rock, jazz, and even a touch of circus music. Vai's guitar work is impeccable, showcasing his technical prowess and out-of-this-world creativity. Tracks like "Call it Sleep" and "The X-Ecutioner's Song" are a masterclass in shredding, while "Details at 10" and "There's Something Dead in Here" offer a more experimental side to Vai's music.

Flex-Able is not for the faint of heart. It's a wild, unpredictable ride that will leave you scratching your head one minute and headbanging the next. Vai's signature sense of humour is sprinkled throughout the album, adding a quirky charm to the already eccentric music.

Overall, Flex-Able is a must-listen for any fan of guitar wizardry and boundary-pushing music. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, there's no denying Vai's sheer talent and boldness in creating a truly unique listening experience. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be flexed by the one and only Steve Vai.

About the artist

Steve Vai

Steve Vai: The Guitar Wizard who Makes Shredding Look Effortless Steve Vai, the virtuoso guitarist known for his jaw-dropping technical prowess, has been captivating audiences for decades with his mind-bending solos and innovative soundscapes. Hailing from Long Island, New York, Vai first made waves as a teenage prodigy, earning the coveted spot as Frank Zappa's "stunt guitarist" in the early 1980s. With a career that has spanned over 40 years, Vai has released a string of iconic albums that have solidified his status as a guitar god. From his solo debut "Flex-Able" to his critically acclaimed masterpiece "Passion and Warfare," Vai's music transcends genres, weaving together elements of rock, metal, and classical into a sonic tapestry that is uniquely his own. But what truly sets Vai apart from his peers is his larger-than-life stage presence and theatrical performances. Watching Vai shred on stage is like witnessing a musical exorcism, as he contorts his body and twists his guitar into sonic submission, leaving audiences in awe of his otherworldly talent. Despite his technical wizardry, Vai is not afraid to push the boundaries of conventional music, experimenting with avant-garde techniques and exploring the outer limits of what is possible on the guitar. His fearlessness and willingness to take risks have cemented his legacy as one of the most innovative and influential guitarists of our time. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of shred or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, Steve Vai is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the art of guitar playing. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your face melted in the process.
