Review

Boxed: Zucchini is an odd album.  When reports leaked of Shitar's impending plans to release a boxed set, fans were rabid with anticipation.   In order to pacify fans requests, Shitar decided to put out the collection in increments. What had actually been planned as a new album recording session turned into the Zucchini project.  This was perhaps largely due to the fact that Mark Mistysyn, now a fixture in the band, was absent for the recording.  Rumor has it that he was spending time with a demanding Irish girl who would not let him go.  So Shitar, in its original form, proceded to go on with yet another greatest hits project.  Only three of the eighteen songs are Matt tunes, so there was definately an imbalance.   The music was solid, however, Mistysyn's presence on guitar was sorely missed.

Rating (Out of *****)
