Our Take

In a world filled with catchy hooks and mind-numbing choruses, Squares' "Best Of The Early 80s Demos" stands out like a sore thumb... in the best possible way. This collection of tracks from Joe Satriani's pre-solo career band is a delightful romp through the glory days of 80s rock, complete with cheesy synth solos and hair-metal guitar riffs that are so over-the-top, they're practically in orbit.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can't help but be transported back to a time when MTV actually played music videos and mullets were considered a viable fashion choice. The raw energy and youthful exuberance of these demos is infectious, making it impossible not to tap your foot along to the beat.

Satriani's guitar work is, as always, the standout feature of the album. His virtuosic shredding cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, showcasing a level of technical skill that is truly awe-inspiring. But what sets these tracks apart from his later solo material is the sense of fun and experimentation that pervades every note. It's clear that Satriani and his bandmates were having a blast in the studio, and that sense of joy is palpable in every moment of this album.

So if you're in the mood for some nostalgia-inducing, face-melting rock and roll, look no further than "Best Of The Early 80s Demos" by Squares. It may not be the most polished album you'll ever hear, but it's certainly one of the most enjoyable.
