Hey guys! You can grab backing tracks and hi res audio for this record at my site now :) nickjohnstonmusic.com/jam-tracks Would love to see some covers!
They won't block covers unless Nick wants them to and he won't. One of the nicest guys around. I have never been able to appreciate his guitar skills enough because his compositional beauty always seems to keep me so engrossed that I forget about individual instruments. My mom absolutely adores his work and is able to recognize his tracks even when spread randomly in my playlists, inspite of no background or special love for progressive rock /jazz music. He is a phenomenal composer
At a technical level, I'm impressed. Of course I would be... It's Nick. At a musical level, driving home just now, listening to this, I am fed. I feel more confident, my spirits are lifted, old dreams arise again; Nick has tapped into something greater than the sum of the parts (tracks, perhaps?) in the work he has done here. I am grateful for this. I think, rather than pitch a fit, threaten to burn my guitar, or quit playing all together, I'll dig deeper. Instead of trying to outplay the man, or prove anything, it may prove best to simply outdo my own self, to go further than before. I may also just be low on sleep. Thanks, Nick!
Big agreement - it isn't just about shredding or trying to make the guitar"sing" over a static backing track. Nick is a music composer. He creates music you want to listen to.
@@RKMontgomery I'm a piano guy first, so that's what raises my hairs. The guitar is great as well. It's the sustains and like b7s that bring out the soul in works like this. It's simplicity but with a volume to it. His compositions have a feel of sincerity to them. Sure, there's a lot more going on at times, but you don't "notice" it, you just ride along with it.

I saw this, dropped everything and put on my headphones. What a journey. A dark adventure, chaotic, fraught with pitfalls and exhilarating splendors. Patiently weaving through the mist and finding spots of rest. Discovering a reimagined vision of power, and ultimately what it means to take on the journey again with new eyes. Thank you Nick for your art!
Everybody else has already said what a wonderful work this is Nick: - how stunningly creative it is, such beautiful melodies, stunning tones, imaginative arrangements and orchestrations (not bashing the listener over the head with incessant guitar pyrotechnics) - gorgeous colours & techniques - highly emotional in an extremely positive way. So I can only agree. Thanks for sharing so generously your stunning skills and creativiey.
The fact that you have Nick Johnston, Andy James, Keith Merrow, Ola Englund, DavidMaxim Micic and Plini, just to name a few off the top of my head, bringing out stellar GUITAR based albums.... Man! Whoever said guitar was dead, clearly isn't listening to these guys take over from the old guard, who are also still bringing out awesome albums.
Mr. Johnston You are a great inspiration for me and I'm sure thousands of guitarist. Very melodic and well thought out music. Love your tone man. The use of the pickup selector is crazy cool to say the least. You put a Strat through its paces! I like what you do. I'm so glad that music doesn't have color barriers. I'm an African American and I completely enjoy your music. Sick and Injured Brain still is one of my favorite solos. My grandkids enjoy Nick Johnston! Keep it coming. Don't give in to the "shred gods"! You have too much to offer musically. Peace
all artist at some point identify with others which to me is a compliment. in my view i grew up in the 7o's and went to at least 2 rock shows a week. andy, joe, eddie, vai. nick. eric, and all the other contemporary artists music has been done before. they have just taken it to another level. what unites them and us is the music. i appreciate all music which i'm sure you do as well. thanks for your reply and enjoy your gift from the universe for the love of music. take care.......PEACE
I'm mainly a blues guitarist but you are honestly my favorite and most inspiring musician to listen to right now. Not just a guitarist, but a MUSICIAN.
@@whatokyea96 I have seen guitarists that don't sound to musical in my day. Unless you contribute every fart in the wind you hear to music, which it just might sound like.
Technically . . . I guess by definition, a guitarist IS by default, a musician, as opposed to being a doctor or auto mechanic, although I know both doctors AND mechanics which are neither. One can study the mechanics of the instrument and understand how to fluently correspond the notes on the sheets to the appropriate notes of the instrument they're playing, making them a successful instrumentalist. Now, having that knowledge of the technical aspect of how to produce those sounds on your instrument, add the human element, and you then have a "musician". Someone who can see beyond how it's "supposed to be" and inserts their own unique interpretation of how it's "supposed to be". As I said, I understand what you're saying with the guitarist/musician thing, and technically, I guess you're right in what you're saying, but, in my humble opinion, it goes deeper than that. MUCH deeper.
A lot of people at your skill level use music as a means to show off. You use it to compose music that is honestly so refreshing and...constructed. Your music is intentional, and you use complexity as a tool to explore music, not as a crutch. it's a lesson I think many forget. Keep on doing what you do man!
Bought this one on Vinyl! It's so gorgeous. So happy I got it. This album is an instrumental masterpiece of music. So sad that many people on this planet will never understand it.
Great on how Nick focuses on making a song great and not just showcasing his guitar prowess. Beautiful use of other instruments and great composition. The album is a sonic masterpiece. Keep up the great work Johnston!
Anyone else notice how long these songs are and this is not a complaint amazing stories to me this is a book taking us through a journey love it I almost forget about the instruments and just hear the story and that is an amazing achievement wow
I chose to have this cued to where all I had to do was hit space bar. I put on a comfortable black blindfold, had no lights on in the room I had to experience this in dark solitude. Within minutes I was no longer anywhere and everywhere. Thank you for understanding balance. Its my belief this type of perfection can be created through the heart of a " fan" You absolutely stepped outside of yourself on this one Nick. AMAZING. Thank you, thank you thank you.
I'm pretty sure that there will be human beings who listen to your works in the next 500 years, even if you stop producing today. I hope you'll never loose your humble, courageous and creative side as your popularity grows, sensei!
Nick, not only is your album a masterpiece of guitar playing but even more for writing beautiful music. The sound of the songs, the composition and usage of instruments, the creation of atmosphere and of course your guitar playing. Just wonderful. I listened to your album already a few times and is getting better and better. Usually I get bored by guitar players quite fast. Not this time
I wish I had the intelligence and wit to adequately explain how amazed I am, and how much i appreciate and relish this masterpiece on so many levels. Every. Single. Song. I literally can't stop listening to it for a month now and consider it one of the finest musical works ever created. It is absolutely on the same level of achievement musically as any Plini, Dream Theater, Satriani, or Vai, to name a few, and a windfall of financial success would hardly be enough of a way to thank you for creating and sharing this, Nick. A million thanks to you
Genius work Nick. This record is a little more like a film score with guitar as the featured instrument. Very cool direction and evolution in your writing from "Remarkably Human". Thanks for the music!
Very good description - yes, it is more like a film score, is it!? More atmospheric, more orchestral, dramatic. The guitar still plays a leading role though, but other instruments are beautifully recorded and the mix is wonderful to my ears.
I thought the same thing, movie sound track when I heard Remarkably Human. Nick broke the shredder mode, like owning a Corvette, you can floor it when you want to, not constantly like some guys, which frankly, is pretty damn old, take a bow Nick, you deserve big success.
Wide Eyes In The Dark - is perfect! perfect fusion of various styles, jazz blues, progressive metal, all in a composition that exudes creativity and musical truth
In "A Cure Promised", that raised 4th? in the main piano and guitar line, it's so spacey and melancholy, but also has a soaring quality. Just absolutely beautiful headphone candy going on here and we've just started on this album. Thank you Nick, what a wonderful thing you've given the world.
This album is truly amazing. I can't fully put it into words how impactful this album was. This is right behind Language by The Contortionist as my all time favorite album.
While I'm a huge admirer of your soloing skills, what I love the most in this and previous albums is your chord progressions. Tense, chromatic, resolving, comforting (and normally all in one song!). Love your work, Nick. 👌👊 Come to Andertons again and do a Masterclass!
I just listened to this, and I have to say something, this is insane, where does one find such good guitar playing these days. Real good. I give this 5 stars out of 5.
I jam along to these tracks on guitar and man, the feeling that goes into every lick, every verse... its surreal. I get goose bumps every time I jam along to this. Thank you for this masterpiece Nick
Every Drop of Blood. Outstanding and beautiful composition. You are one inspiring SOB! Thanks you for sharing this amazing and wonderful work. Lord, not NOT stop playing.
I've been your fan since Remarkably Human and I wanna say... You have to be the single best melodic guitarist of our time. Oh, and as always, waiting on the vinyl and tabs!
now when my friends ask me who my favorite guitar players are, I wouldn't hesitate to name you. I'm totally convinced, Nick. Thank you for the beautiful music
I've been a fan of yours for years, I bought your tablatures and spent an entire summer listening to your albums at a job I loathed. It helped me get through the days. I also went to one of your guitar clinics before you went on tour with animals as leaders. I was never more inspired to go home and pick up the guitar and practice, I almost wish I had recorded it to replay it. You've evolved so much as a composer over the years in my opinion and it's been quite a treat to be along for the ride. You've inspired me tons as I'm slowly attempting compositions myself. You're a true talent, I'm looking forward to hearing all your future works and hope to see you in my city again soon. I rep you as much as I can whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks for putting your music out there.
1h of musical journey. Please keep the work up Nick, what I'd give to listen to you live. Your soul is so beatiful, and your voice sings bright through your guitar.
I'm a fellow prone to depressed moods and here I am at work, just soaking up the love and joy in "Every Drop of Blood, Part 1". What a beautiful piece of music among beautiful pieces of music. You deserve every bit of goodness that comes your way, Nick Johnston!
Been having a really hard week. This Music you have made for the masses! It eases my soul, as it probably does others. I'm very blessed to be able to know about your beautiful music. Thank you for everything Nick Johnston! 💜🧡💙
It took me more than a year to "get" this album. I loved the prior two and this one was tougher for me to really get into. Now I'm into it, and it is really fantastic.

He is a phenomenal composer
Nick, I can't find any information about you touring. Are you not touring this album for the time being? Would love to see you play live man.
Keep up the excellent work, you talent is exceedingly progressing to new levels every time I listen.
@@pranavphx He really is. One of the best songwriters in progressive/fusion rock.
At a technical level, I'm impressed. Of course I would be... It's Nick.
At a musical level, driving home just now, listening to this, I am fed. I feel more confident, my spirits are lifted, old dreams arise again; Nick has tapped into something greater than the sum of the parts (tracks, perhaps?) in the work he has done here. I am grateful for this.
I think, rather than pitch a fit, threaten to burn my guitar, or quit playing all together, I'll dig deeper. Instead of trying to outplay the man, or prove anything, it may prove best to simply outdo my own self, to go further than before. I may also just be low on sleep.
Thanks, Nick!

@@jonnylee5000 Yes! It's music that makes even a musician think of something besides the music. Now THAT's rare.

All the best for your recovery man.
Wish you all the best
I can feel you bro
let's go! you can do it :D
My message to all of the modern shredders - this album is what music should be!
It would be boring if it was all the same. Jeff Beck and I share a birthday so you know who I jam with.. Just not all the time.
Everything stops for a new Nick Johnston album.
I saw this, dropped everything and put on my headphones. What a journey. A dark adventure, chaotic, fraught with pitfalls and exhilarating splendors. Patiently weaving through the mist and finding spots of rest. Discovering a reimagined vision of power, and ultimately what it means to take on the journey again with new eyes.
Thank you Nick for your art!
Nick has a very unique and distinctive style.
My man this mix is just juicy perfection.
headphones, studio monitors, even my shitty earbuds... sooo good no matter how i listen
Headphones strongly recommended!
Finally i can listen to this with headphones. What a difference!
So glad to see Benny Greb doing drums for this album. He's an absolutely brilliant musician!
Nick Acker!

Andy Timmons too
Every Drop of Blood, Part 1 - Such an amazing track!
Yup. Makes me think of what a really great western film should feel like.
One of the only solo artists that makes everything other than the guitars sound just as interesting.
Nick is evolving. Feel the wide dreams in his tone, and find the wide soul in your blood.
Mr. Johnston
You are a great inspiration for me and I'm sure thousands of guitarist.

Thank you!
This is one of the most musical of guitar oriented albums I have heard in years.
This restored my faith in humanity!!!
Wide Eyes In The Dark is an epic song! So powerful!
Listened to you driving through nature today....your music is like fresh air. Love the drums.

Truly unique Nick. I am a big fan. I can truly say that you are one of the most distinct and unique guitarists ever, period.

Hell yeah
Every drop of blood pt.2 man i can feel those emotion from the guitar, beautiful
I have listened to these songs so many times and they remain so utterly beautiful and so fresh. Total masterpiece.
i just can't wait for a new album , or just some new songs , keep listening to this masterpiece , a lot to remarkably human too , just genius .
This album is special...
"These Echoes" hits my feelings like never an other song did. It makes me litteraly cry. Thanks you Nick
Great album, you've made me a proud Canadian !
In "A Cure Promised", that raised 4th? in the main piano and guitar line, it's so spacey and melancholy, but also has a soaring quality. Just absolutely beautiful headphone candy going on here and we've just started on this album. Thank you Nick, what a wonderful thing you've given the world.
lydian does that.
This album is truly amazing. I can't fully put it into words how impactful this album was. This is right behind Language by The Contortionist as my all time favorite album.

I have never heard of you until this moment in time but wow. I didn't realize an hour passed until this album stopped.
Each subsequent release sounds more and more cohesive and "narrative" so to speak. I love hearing how you've grown as an artist.
I jam along to these tracks on guitar and man, the feeling that goes into every lick, every verse... its surreal. I get goose bumps every time I jam along to this. Thank you for this masterpiece Nick
Nick, your music is so beautiful.you are a true artist.thank you to feed my ears with these beautiful melodies.
Cheers from France
I love this album, and the entire band for creating such a beautiful music.
Beautiful! Some tunes are perfect soundtracks, e.g. The Old Hunger.
you have one dedicated fan also in Bucharest, Romania! Love you Nick, a true wonder boy indeed!
Beautiful. Thank you Nick
Amazing work!!!
Nick may not be the flashiest shred maestro (although he is very good), but he is so musical, and that trumps flash any and every day in my book.
Holy shit a new Nick Johnson album! I'm so freaking hyped right now!
Every Drop of Blood. Outstanding and beautiful composition. You are one inspiring SOB! Thanks you for sharing this amazing and wonderful work. Lord, not NOT stop playing.
I've been your fan since Remarkably Human and I wanna say... You have to be the single best melodic guitarist of our time.
Oh, and as always, waiting on the vinyl and tabs!
Amazing Album Nick! I had a blast listening to you
Man, just discovered this. It's fantastic from start to finish! Definitely one of my new favourite albums - thank you!
now when my friends ask me who my favorite guitar players are, I wouldn't hesitate to name you. I'm totally convinced, Nick. Thank you for the beautiful music
Nick, Thanks for the uploaded. Complete excited to hear the new album

I can't say how much I love this album. Phenomenal!
Love the sometimes subdued melodic themes. Love the evolution of the guitar tone. Great playing by everyone all around. Fantastic work, Nick!
Nick Johnston + Eric Guenther = GOAT
Been having a really hard week. This Music you have made for the masses! It eases my soul, as it probably does others. I'm very blessed to be able to know about your beautiful music. Thank you for everything Nick Johnston! 💜🧡💙
It took me more than a year to "get" this album. I loved the prior two and this one was tougher for me to really get into. Now I'm into it, and it is really fantastic.
