Hook of the Day - Jeff Loomis "Jato Unit"

by Myche

I regretably took Jeff Loomis' "Zero Order Phase" off of my Top 6 Albums of last year at the last minute. I'm kind of kicking myself since I play this shredfest more than any on my list. Here's an attempt to make it right. I think there is a fine line between what's good and what's crap on a heavy instrumental piece. To me, this easily falls into the former group. It's not all about speed, but it has that. But there's a groove as well that you certainly can sink your teeth into.

Nice. I should probably be listening to more Nevermore, shouldn't I?

I haven't played them for a long time - I didn't even think they were on my mp3 player, but they are. I'll give them a spin in the near term. I bought a DVD they released and never really watched that either. I guess I'll just have to be in the mood...
