Editorial Reviews

No words needed for the importance of David Chastain both with his personal band and with CJSS. This is one more classic power metal offering by that great guitar player, featuring the powerful vocals of Russel Jenkins.PAVEMENT MUSIC 2000

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Metal To The T., August 18, 2000

By

After 14 years David T. Chastain has finally gotton back with his best project. This cd sounds like the original 2 albums released back in 1986-87(World Gone Mad & Praise The Loud)With a more improved 2000 sound. Chastain has proven over the past 15+ years that he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. His sound is truely distinctive and very original. On this cd, not only do we get the strong vocals of Russel Jinkens but, we also get the vocals of bassist Mike Skimmerhorn as lead singer on several songs. If your a fan of any of Chastain's project (Chastain -w/Leather Leone on vocals, David T.Chastain -instrumental or CJSS)or if you're just a fan of metal I highly recommend this cd.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1.5 Stars, February 14, 2004

This review is from: Kings of the World (Audio CD)

If ever a band found itself trudging through the dense morass of intellectually stunted 80s metal, David Chastain must have founded that band. Were there only a few Spinal Tap like mishaps to provide amusement value there might be some reason for listening to this schlock, but there aren't, and just because I had to give it several spins doesn't mean you should be subject to the same torture. This is essentially just the same style of uninspired, paint by numbers shred metal Shrapnel puts out, only without the guitar heroics to give it a reason to exist. Sample lyric says it all: "We're the kings of the world and we're gonna getcha, we're gonna getcha, the kings of the world"!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is an extremely pathedic attempt at Heavy Metal!!!!!, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Kings of the World (Audio CD)

Cjss should be ashamed for putting something like this out on the market. This is the worst cd I have bought in a long time. There is absolutely nothing new here, it's just a mix of poorly performed recycled old rock riffs. The cover of Jethro Tull's Locamotive Breath is down right awful, no awful is too kind. It's unimaginably terrible! I read somewhere online that David Chastain was on the same level as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, trust me, HE'S NOT! There is nothing on this cd that can even come remotely close to Satch or Vai. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this cd. Check out some REAL heavy metal bands such as Sonata Arctica , Edguy , Nightwish , Blind Guardian, etc. Don't waste your time with this rubush.
