Not for the musically timid.......2007-01-05

Up until this album, I had been on a steady diet of mainstream rock and metal. Sure I had heard of the likes of Satch and Vai, but I never got around to listening to them. Suffice to say, instrumental guitar music was something I was most definitely NOT familiar with.
This all changed when my Art teacher had me listen to The Road Less Traveled. I was hearing sounds that I never knew were possible. I was hearing music done in a totally different way! Mattias seems like a funny guy to me, and you can hear it in his compositions. Songs like There's No Money in Jazz and One String Solo are hilarious, and Print This is a humorous take on a device many of us are familiar with.
Overall, from this album I learned two important lessons. One is that it is ALWAYS cool to be able to shred, and two is that being a musician doesn't mean you have to be serious. Definitely a good buy for any guitarist looking for a dose of fresh air.

Get yer freak on.......2006-10-17

A very adverturous and refreshing take on the guitar rock instrumental thing. If you're really into music like CCR and Jim Croce it's probably not for you. If you want something outside of the warm safe confines of the easily accessible, and ever predictable, mainstream try this one. He's heavily Zappa influenced so that should tell you where he's going with his music

Pointless.......2006-08-09

This album is a mess. It bounces around and resembles a long warm up. It does not seem to have a direction as it bounces around between a lot of different types of music and never finds a home with any of them.

Goddie goddie .......2006-03-01

It's simply a great cd, very innovative, if you like the first freak guitar, this is what you have been waiting for.

For those who don't have heard the first cd, or any of the freak kitchen cd's: If you want to hear honest music, without pretentions, buy it.

Mattias its a very kind person, I recently knew him in mexico city, his music it's a reflect of his personality.

Humor and chops.......2006-02-18

Never have I heard musical "humor" conveyed so well as on this breakthrough album. The production is seamless, and Eklundh's high-level chops are not threatening, that is, his humor and musicality buffer the typical "macho" delivery of shred-guitar playing, and indeed evolves it into, dare I say, ART.
