5.0 out of 5 stars Joe Perry Project is ON FIRE!, December 31, 2002

After leaving Aerosmith in 1979, Joe Perry created his own band: The Joe Perry Project (Ralph Morman - Vocals, Joe Perry - Guitars & Vocals, David Hull - Bass & Vocals, and Ronnie Stewart - Drums). With this album and this band, Joe showed the fans a whole other side of himself that they hadn't seen in Aerosmith. Joe came out with some of his greatest guitar licks ever heard before. He and Ralph wrote great songs and did an excellent job on vocals together.

The opening title track, "Let The Music Do The Talking" is the greatest song on the album. It starts out with a big bass riff and then a short drum roll and then, BANG! Joe kicks in with the loud guitar riffs. This song is so INTENSE and is a GENUINE ANTHEMETIC MASTERPIECE!! Some lyrics are, "Wanna take a chance and dance before. I got to leave alone. On short song and she'll be gone. I wish her off was on. Gotta try, gotta try another way to get her. To come around to me. Let The Music Do The Talking. Let The Music Do The Talking."

The next track, "Conflict of Interest is a good loud song with excellent lyrics written and sung by Joe. It also has a great instrumental piece at the end. The next track, "Discount Dogs" is a song well done by Ralph. His vocals were perfect for the lyrics. His voice fits Joe's style perfectly. "Shooting Star" is another great tune sung by Joe and has a great rythem and great lyrics.

The instrumental "Break Song" is just a jam that the band did together. It has great guitar solos and drum beats. "The Mist Is Rising" written and sung by Joe is a little low-tone by is a slow rock/bluesy piece of work. The last track, "Life At A Glance" is a PURE MASTERPIECE written and sung by Joe and Ralph. Excellent guitar riffs and drum beats.

THIS ALBUM IS JOE PERRY ALL-TIME GREATEST EFFORT!! LET THE MUSIC DO THE TALKING IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blazing Debut From Joe Perry!, May 16, 2001

This album features a lot of great guitarwork from Joe. And just some really wild, ballsy tunes like "Break Song" and "Life At A Glance". The Hendrix-y backwards guitar licks on "The Mist Is Rising" are great, too...Contrary to what others have said, I think "I've got the Rock'n'Rolls Again" is just as strong as this album. However, this one is more geared towards Joe's lead guitar prowess and is less about songwriting. Still, it's one of the great metal albums of the '80s.

The Project's first, and possibly best album. Okay, I haven't heard much of it, but it's pretty good what I've heard. Joe's riffs and solos are still pretty much in the Aero-vain, so you'll probably like it. The title track was even converted into an Aerosmith song on the ill-fated "Done With Mirrors" album. Simply put, if you like Joe Perry you'll like this.
