CHICKENFOOT - III (Release: Sep 23, 2011)

Here we go with the second effort by this superband formed by members of VAN HALEN, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and the six strings magician JOE SATRIANI. This album keeps the same line than it predecessor, raw Rock, great guitar riffs, excellent production and virtuosity in every corner. As their first album this ain't exactly a commercial album, i mean, it ain't full of catchy chorus, this is an album to enjoy listening four megamusicians making great music.
The album opens with Last Temptation, starting with some alternative guitars sounding that lead us into a song with a structure that reminds of Attack of the Dungeon Witch by HE IS LEGEND but obviously much softer. Alright Alright is a funny cut once more built on some alternative guitar sounding while Different Devil is some kind of mid-tempo that creates a calm atmosphere 'till it breaks into some beautiful and more energetic chorus with some backing vocals ala-VAN HALEN, this track is one of the album's highlights. Up Next is the first pure hard rocking cut in this album with a marked guitar riff and with Chad Smith doin' an excellent work while Satriani's solo is simply amazing. Lighten Up keeps the line of Up Next,  once again, with excellent work of Satriani while Come Closer is much softer with smooth and elegant guitars, a little alternative drums work and chorus and backing vocals sounding of VAN HALEN, another winner in this album specially because of the atmosphere of tranquility created by guitar.
The rest of the album keeps the vibe with Sammy Hagar shining in every note he sings and the rest of the band doin' a work without any fracture.

In summary, good album by amazing musicians that after a few listenings will catch you.
