Yes, the title tune and the last song are sappy, with awful lyrics and little to enjoy musically--what a horrible idea, and it didn't exactly make for a hit record. Metal Fatigue is amazing.
I bought the vinyl inspired by a review that I read in a brazilian magazine untitled "Allan Holdsworth or how to play the guitar". Mainly instrumental album with the defining Holdsworth classics Metal Fatigue and Devil takes the hindmost. For example, the title track "Metal Fatigue" uses unusual harmonies. He has a unique sound world and fluid legato tone which is accessible. Great recording of an exceptional guitarist. Holdsworth is way beyond great.

A good example of this was the title track from Metal Fatigue where an apparrent attempt to cajole his hard-rock fans results in a sort of heavy metal shuffle. Allan Holdsworth: Metal Fatigue [CD] Import. The melody and flow of the song along with the vocals from Paul Korda make it a special song. The latter harmony, carefully constructed by clever control of the fifths is not too unusual, but the former harmony could sound terrible if not for Holdsworth's brilliant use of timbre and volume.

Je suis un grand fan et admirateur du Sieur Allan Holdsworth depuis les années 1970, guitariste que j'avais découvert avec le batteur Bill Bruford durant mon adolescence, on ne se refait pas ...

Terzo album di Allan Holdsworth in cui fusion rock & jazz si materializza perfettamente, sebbene sia, a mio avviso, non un capolavoro massimo del nostro, bensì un capitolo in cui la sua tecnica si affina e si proietta verso risultati più elevati. この作品が出た頃は、まさにヘビーメタル/ハードロックが市場を席巻していた時期。他の方のレヴューにもありますが、作品名のとおり、当時のエレクトリックギターミュージックに対するアランなりのメッセージがあるように発売当初から感じていました。 My favorite song is "In the mystery".
Allan Holdsworth could be the most unique guitarist of all time. Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features.

Allan brings his fluid legato style and space age tone and successfully makes an accessible, interesting and quite metal (at times), mainly instrumental, jazz fusion album. It has a lot of the classics we all know like Devil take the Hindmost, Unmerry Go Round, Metal Fatigue, etc. E' un CD che consiglio agli amanti della chitarra, eccellente tecnica ... Vielhörern mag der Sound etwas effektüberladen sein, aber das ist typisch für die damalige Zeit. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Critical reception.
