Space Ship One

It's a proven fact that sometimes all anyone needs for fun is some hard-rocking, loud, guitar-based rock and roll. Fortunately, when that rock is the product of guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert, there's a pleasant pop edge to the music, a variety of styles, and some intelligence and wry humor thrown into the mix. Spaceship One contains all of the technical guitar prowess any fan would expect in a context of well crafted songs and reveals why Paul Gilbert remains one of the most gifted musicians in the guitar-oriented music market. Spaceship One is just under an hour's worth of music, but it's at least a year's worth of good guitar fun. Shrapnel. 2005.
