    You can’t help going into a Satriani album without the high expectation. Especially not when he has mostly delivered in the past. That’s why he is who he is. Sadly, Unstoppable Momentum disappoints. There is not a single song that leaves a lasting memory or begs to be heard again and again. Oh the melody is there and so is the mastery but the soul is missing and the songs do not talk to you as they have in the past. Whether this is because of the various projects he is involved in or he just cobbled this together quickly we will never know. In the meantime its back to listening to the older albums.
