It's not my favorite album by Satriani; I really like some tracks, but others are too challenging for my tastes.

I didn't mind this reception.

Great review, wow I didn't know a new album had come out. I'm going to see Joe in concert tomorrow night, he will definitely play tracks from the new album, it will be a surprise to discover them. I'll let you know! ;)
I have to say that I liked Super Colossal, as it is perhaps catchier than other past albums.
There are certainly many other super talented guitar heroes out there who are less famous, but it’s not just pure virtuosity that matters in a musician, but their expressive ability.

As rightly mentioned, it is an immature album, something that will occur with the third record "Cuts like a Knife," three years later. The production, as stated by the producer of the album Jim Vallance, is one of the weak points. In fact, certain songs are valid and could have appeared much more interesting with more careful attention and enhancement of the sounds. The voice sounds like that of a teenager, at times annoying, and it is hard to recognize Adams in the singing. He will only begin to find his voice and style starting from the second album. This is an album solely for the fans because it is not very catchy; nonetheless, it is interesting to find unusual sounds compared to the classic style that the artist has accustomed us to in the following years, so it could be intriguing for those who want to expand their knowledge. The best track in my opinion is "Wasting Time," the most rugged and "rounded."

Everything according to script...
Even the comments are always the same!

The album is the best (without shining) that Adams has made from "Waking up..." to today, even though to be fair he has only released 3 new songs since 1991 (not counting the latest one). 3 compilations in 10 years have really been too many, like someone who has nothing left to say. Usually, they’re already dead.
The review is good, although I disagree (de gustibus) with some points: for example, the 2 tracks mentioned as the best are among the first I would discard from the album, while I would save others like "How Do Ya Feel Tonight," "C'mon C'mon C'mon," "If I Had You"... which stylistically present themselves a bit differently from the usual cliché.
I continue to hope... increasingly disillusioned, but I carry on...

The review also seems mismatched with the rating, which I agree with. Room Service is a catchy album but nothing more. Musically, there are some good tracks but few new ideas. Lyrically, there's no evolution, and this is disappointing in an artist approaching 50, but perhaps his intention is not to become a mature and engaged artist, but to remain an eternal boy. A debatable choice. Adams has been the artist who most influenced my musical life, and I would have liked to see him "grow" with me, but that hasn't happened. What a shame.

I add: In my opinion, the only decent song is the title track, at least the only one that says something intelligent in the lyrics. Or maybe simply that says something.

Damn, what a terrible review! O_O
It’s pretty much in line with the album, I’ve been listening to it these days and it’s really bad, only one or two songs are worth salvaging. The lyrics are truly low-level (I can’t help but think how spot-on Checco Zalone’s imitation of Vasco is) and the music doesn’t go much further.
Vasco has done definitely better things.
