Cover Art Allan Holdsworth
None Too Soon
[Restless]
Rating: 0.3

Allan Holdsworth is one of the greatest guitar players I've ever heard, but not on this lame disc. The whole artwork has a beer motif. The front cover is a tap, the back cover a glass of beer, and there's a picture on the inside of Holdworth (not a pretty man, I might add), pouring a mug and mugging for the poor camera. It's all pretty obvious: You'd have to be incredibly shitfaced to listen to this excretable wankery that includes the single worst cover of "Norwegian Wood" that could possibly be produced. Drink up, Chachi and crank Nirvana instead.
