Happily for CBS it was the most successful release of his tenure on the label, with the lead-off track \"Strange Dreams\" garnering enough airplay to qualify as a hit; even stranger for fans of maestro Marino, \"Strange Dreams\" doesn't have a guitar solo, but is propelled by rhythmic interplay with a synthesizer! Marino's guitar work throughout his career has been outstanding; channelling the spirit of Jimi Hendrix through his Gibson SG with his own stylistic flourishes, he constantly manages to display speed, precision, and feel through a considerable range of tempos and styles. Juggernaut could easily be a Mahogany Rush album, as Marino fluidly struts his stuff in front of a rocking rhythm section, effortlessly moving through psychedelia, hard rock, and blues metal. Headbanger highlights include the eight-minute still-topical troop tribute \"Stories of a Hero,\" and the incendiary title track blazes to an explosive crescendo. All in all, a consistently strong release by an underappreciated artist. ~ Laurie Mercer","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45935225602335,"sku":"5055300392442","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/4de43dbee52ebc9da655d9e4937676a9.jpg?v=1777751561","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/juggernaut-2","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
