CD Reviews

The Best
Xenocrony | Johannesburg, Gauteng South Africa | 04/26/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a world of rehash rock bands its great to see someone still producing fantastic music.The title track has got some of the spookiest notes I've ever heard,and talk about diversity,(the material ranges from almost pure jeff beck (but better) to UK and ELP plus judicious helpings of Ozzy}These are by no means cheesy ripoffs but stand up in a class all of their own!!The keyboard solos are MORE exciting than Jan Hammer.This is all the best of 70s prog but also very modern,the chord progressions are diverse and interesting(unlike Dream Theatre's two-chord-lets do a thousand different time signatures in E and to hell with the musicality approach).When all the hype of Creed,REM,Pearl Jam etc. plummets,good music will stand the test of time and INERTIA will stand tall.Exeptionally well done,Derek and MSR's Lukather,Wylde and Phillips if this'll be the quality of the material on future releases consider me a permanent fan!!HIGHLY,HIGHLY recommended!!!"
Style, virtuosity, and a great sense of atmosphere

"What an album! Derek Sherinian shows off his various influences in this gem of an offering, from his cover of the Mingus jazz classic Goodbye Porkpie Hat and the Edgar Winter Group rock anthem Frankenstein, to the thunderous prog-tastic original Evel Knievel. The latter track, along with a few others features guest ex-Ozzy guitarist and legendary madman Zakk Wylde, with an over-the-top style that perfectly fits Sherinan's fiery fingering. All-star axe-man Steve Lukather covers the rest of the guitar duties and seems a perfect fit with Sherinian's more progressive and avant-garde pieces. In total, the album is saturated with the kind of technical brilliance, combined with atmospheric mastery that only Derek Sherinian can offer. I can't get this album out of my CD player. Sherinian rules the keys, with a style all his own, and his music rocks the world with every blinding run. A necessary addition to any true music-lover's collection."
Ex-Dream Theater Keyboardist With All-Star Cast!!!

"Ex-Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian smokes the keys on this CD. He has some help from some serious heavies like Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips, Zakk Wylde, Tony Franklin, Jerry Goodman, Tom Kennedy and Jimmy Johnson. The title track Inertia opens this disc in grand style. If you love Fusion, Hard Rock, and Progresive Rock you will love this CD. Buy it ASAP!!!"
