A Master of the Fretboard Returns to Raw Power: Paul Gilbert’s “I Can Destroy”
For decades, Paul Gilbert has been celebrated as one of the most astonishingly gifted and technically proficient guitarists in the world. From his work with Racer X and Mr. Big to his extensive solo career, his name is synonymous with virtuosic musicianship. A powerful showcase of his continued creativity and raw rock energy is his 2015 solo album, “I Can Destroy,” which we’re looking at here in its Japanese pressing on the Nexus label with the catalog number IECP-10334.
“I Can Destroy” is a fantastic representation of Gilbert’s multifaceted musical personality. While his incredible technical skills are on full display, the album is firmly rooted in high-energy, classic-style hard rock. This is not just an album of flashy guitar solos; it’s a collection of well-crafted, memorable songs, featuring Gilbert’s distinctive and often-underrated lead vocals.
The album is a diverse and exciting listen. It kicks off with the powerful and catchy title track, “I Can Destroy,” a perfect slice of melodic hard rock that sets the tone for the record. Throughout the album, Gilbert explores a range of styles, from the bluesy swagger of tracks like “Woman of Trouble” to the quirky, pop-infused energy of “One Woman Too Many.” Of course, for those who came for the guitar pyrotechnics, the album delivers in spades, with instrumental passages and solos that are filled with his signature blend of speed, precision, and melodic ingenuity.
Working with a powerhouse rhythm section, the album has a vibrant “live-in-the-studio” feel, capturing the pure joy and energy of a band firing on all cylinders. It’s the sound of a musician who, despite his legendary status, is still clearly having a blast playing rock and roll.
This Japanese pressing is a superb way to experience the album, offering excellent sound quality that captures the power and detail of the performances. For any fan of virtuosic guitar playing, classic hard rock, and the incredible career of Paul Gilbert, “I Can Destroy” is a thoroughly enjoyable and essential record.
