Scatterbrain

KXM, the supergroup featuring George Lynch, Dug Pinnick and Ray Luzier, were unable to tour their excellent 2014 debut, but nonetheless they’ve found time to put out a follow-up. Written as they recorded,

Scatterbrain certainly has a fresh feel that is both to its benefit and detriment. Breakout starts with a monstrous Lynch groove, but descends into a messy jam that could have perhaps benefited from a little more time for refinement. Big Sky Country again brings a massive riff but we’re treated to a soaring solo and neck-cracking riff-fest to see us out. More stellar work from Lynch and co. Let’s hope they get to tour it this time. Rich Chamberlain Download Big Sky Country
