I have Outworld and after several listens it revealed the guy is a great player..but not that great of a song writer..his speed and articulatuion seems pointless at times..After a while it's like watching a dog chasing his tail...amusing at first, but get's old quick..
There is PLENTY of fast and firey players that look at the big picture when writing songs..Rusty is not one of them...IMO!!
I'm spoiled, I explored and discovered the best of the best, and digged deep for decades to find them..
Yeah, he's good, but his style is predictable and "safe"..as any neo-classical shredder since Yngwie's debut with Steeler..25 years ago.
I'd much rather listen to players like Uli, Freidman, Tony Mac, Vai, Greg Howe, Paul Gilbert and ect who have more depth..As Far as modern metal..Jeff Loomis owns in my book.
Outworld is cool, but I'd rather listen to Mike Romeo and the many Malmsteen clones thru the years who actualy write great music..
The singer in Outworld has major pipes ..like a cross between Halford/Owens..and so many others who are the Opera men of the metal world..whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...but again safe abd something that has been done thousands of times..
I like metal that is "original" as well as polished, no matter what style..Outwold is so fuggin' predictable and something I've heard forever..a progression of Rainbow and Judas Preist..like countless others in my library
Still worth a listen and purchase. I do support all "quality" metal...but Rusty and Outwold is very old hat, and not breaking any new ground or raising any bars whatsoever...he's just one in a infinite sea of great players..that some have fixated on...and that's cool..he's good and many others...But there is better!!!
At the end of the day it's all about the music.
I was going to do a review of Outworld on my thread..but since this topic is Rusty..fuggit..
Many complain about Glen Drover, he may not be as technical and flashy as Rusty, but he is far more original ..prolly why he gets the gigs he does.
Outworld get a solid 6.5...which is pretty good."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"
