Customer Reviews:

Incredibly Unique.......2007-02-15

I have never written a review on Amazon before but I am so impressed with this work by Chris Poland that I felt compelled to do so. I wasn't crazy about his other solo cd's. I do think his work with OHM is excellent. But "Chasing the Sun" is uniquely different! I own numerous works by Steve Morse, Joe Satriani and Jeff Kollman, to name just a few. Chasing the Sun is wholly different from these other stylists. It dislays uniquely different artistry. The songs are creative and expressive and Chris Poland's playing is superb! This is one of my absolute favorite cd's. I wish he would release another cd along the same lines. If you appreciate instrumental guitar, I HIGHLY recommend this title.

Amazing.......2005-09-08

I personally think this is one of Chris Poland's best works. It's an album that you can listen to straight through. The fact that it is instrumental should not deter listeners - Poland's guitar leads are so searing that they create their own vocals. A must have for guitar enthusiasts.

One of my Favs Soloist !!!.......2004-04-25

Chris Poland deserves a place in the Sun!!!
One of the must Unique and Fresh players that I know!!!
Listen to it and forget his Megadeth Cross...don't misunderstood me cause i like Megadeth too...but this guy plays in another league.
Amazing player!!!...Do I have to say more????

Another fine set of tunes from the best Megadeth guitarist.......2003-02-26

Chris' playing, along with Gar Samuelson's, is the most underrated aspect of Megadeth. This album is far from the speed metal of "Peace Sells..." or Chris' first solo album because it features Chris playing a variety of different styles from the funky "Hip Hop Karma" to the Spanish flare on "Salvador." His picking is clean, fast and precise, sort of like Eric Johnson, making the whole album smooth. The only problem I have with it is that it really is a slew of demos that Chris recorded over the years, so it doesn't exactly have the flow of his first solo album (ie: a theme that flows through the entirety of the album). The sound quality is excellent, however, so you're not just getting a bunch of tunes Chris put together in his garage on a Sony "my frist boombox." If you're familiar with his previous work, this could open the doors to new exciting things, but obviously, if you're a fan of top notch solo guitar, you already know this.
