Editorial Reviews
Hot on the heels of his successful Get Out Of My Yard CD, Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar is the second all instrumental CD by guitarist Paul Gilbert.Last year Paul toured on the legendary G3 tour in support of Joe Satriani and confirmed to a younger audience what Gilbert fans have known for over 20 years that Paul Gilbert is simply one of the greatest guitarists on the planet today

I'll be honest...I have always admired Paul as a briliant guitar player and I have always bought his solo material. It was always a spiritual experience.
This CD is simply amazing...I agree with the other opinions posted here...but I just want to add that as an purely instrumental CD...this is the most lyrical PG has been without singing a single word. The emotion and feeling behind every note is simply brilliant.
Long live this CD and I would have to say probably my favorite CD of his.
If you love PG's previous efforts...this one will make you jump up and down in excitement, laugh, and cry.
NOW GO BUY IT!

There is so much to like on this CD for any guitar nut. While Get Out Of My Yard was impressive from a "blazing chops" standpoint, I honestly thought of it more as "Paul jamming" than really flexing his compositional muscles. Apparently he saved that for this one, because these songs are interesting - brilliantly composed, and as others have stated, very lyrical in their themes. And don't worry shred-heads: he still rips it up as well - even moreso than Get Out Of My Yard... this album sounds to me like "what Paul Gilbert does after going on tour with Satriani and Petrucci." Seriously - a tune like "I Cannot Tell a Lie" is a beautiful solo guitar ballad that could easily find room on a playlist of Satch's best guitar ballads... meanwhile "Gargoyle" (and most of the rest of the CD) can sit alongside anything Petrucci has ever come up with, which is saying a LOT for me because I happen to think Petrucci is the most "complete package" guitar player in the world today, combining arguably the most skillful playing with arguably the most daunting compositions AND playing stuff that's listenable. Paul is the only other guy who brings everything together like that.
It also helps that the bassist and drummer on here absolutely play the snot out of their instruments also: this is some excruciatingly difficult stuff and the guys are right there with Paul all the way through. Excellent!
What a great breath of fresh air... one thing he does better than Petrucci is HAVE FUN. Amongst the 8 billion notes that still shines through. Bravo Paul! Keep 'em comin'.

This disc just kicks major butt. From start to finish this is an unbelievable guitar instrumental cd.
Gilbert, one time guitarist of Mr. Big and Racer X, is one of the best guitarists out there and with this disc he proves it.
I saw him last year on the G3 tour with Satriani and John Pertrucci and he's just amazing live. He played the crap out of his guitar, but at the same time, by the look on his face, he was having fun and obviously loves what he does.
Go out and buy this disc, you won't be sorry.

Insane album
This album is ridiculously good. One of my favorite instrumental albums of all time. I normally listen to a lot of Joe Satriani stuff, and this is different, for sure, but it's... Read more

Great instrumental rock!
I'll admit that I'm a latecomer to the Paul Gilbert experience. So I guess this review is directed at other guitar fans who have not yet heard this talented musician. Read more

Not only excellent work
Not only excellent work but beautiful music, his best work to my opinion. I bought the SFBDR DVD about a year so I hadn't the chance to appreciate the whole compositions. Read more

This is a good album. It starts and ends well, but I found the middle section of the album to be a bit of a let down. Read more

PG is just too cool for words.
GREAT CD! I have been meaning to get around to buying some of Paul Gilbert's work for years. But I never made the leap. And I found out I've been missing out (Mr.) Big time! Read more
