Review from Sonic Shocks
In all honesty, when I received this particular album, it took me a little while to find the time to really sit down and listen to it. With so many guitarists releasing solo albums in 2010; Satriani, Bonamassa etc, I was slightly dubious as to whether Steve Senes would stand out from the rest, or simply blend into the background. As it turns out, my relaxed and laid back attitude was very wrong...

Review from Mindview
On hearing the intro of the first song on this album could hear you think: ”Ai, the next in a row guitar virtuosos themselves will deduct on six strings.” A minute later throwsa bone hard, simple rock riff firmly be daring. Soft, rough and funky moments alternatewhen appropriate, supplemented by beautiful, technically superb solos. Every songseems to support some solid riffs, listen...

Steve Senes Chittaro for now is a little-known. This “de-Evolution of Theory” is his first solo effort and hard guys!First of all, Steve is the author of all 12 songs, played all the instruments, produced and mixed a little jewel crafting instrumental. If I had to choose an adjective to describe this CD would...

Review from MusicWaves
Translated from French
Rating: 7.5/10 | The year 2009 was not the most common for Steve Senes. Indeed, he won the famous and coveted title of “Superstar Guitar Player” springboard organized by the magazine of the same name and specially devoted to the six-string and especially those who shoulder the door. Logically, therefore, a first album of this musician, because it also provides...

When I new solo album from Steve Senes in the finger was the, Cover made the first impression on me that I listen to cyberspace would feel moved in with me. The opener “The Swami” enticed me to read the title, I relaxed in the domestic furniture throw, to fall into meditation. But after the first fat guitar riffs, it tore me up and my ears were opened even more...

Review From Seigneursdumetal
Translated from French
Steve Senes is the guitarist who uses his fingers to his car to vibrate. The kind of musician who uses his skills in various projects (Superswamp Heroes and Pale Horse) without ever being overbearing. And of course it does not stop there, devoted to the rank of superstar guitar player of the year 2009 with an experience solidified with 300 concerts a year in a wide variety...

Review from Zwaremetalen
Dutch to English translation
Not all guitarists who totally on their own to do a disk to bring it here as well, at least not in the sense that for the average listener to hear. Steve Senes late with his debut on Global Music heard that it is quite possible to absolutely everything from A to Z to do yourself and still deliver a great product. ThE-eVolution of Theory is the best guitar album in...

Review from Metal Glory
Translated from German
The question I had asked before? Why are the majority of guitarists Steve? Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Steve Moore, … Nils Lofgreen? Nee-fun, but here in earnest now comes the next Steve: Steve Senes, who tries hard to join the ranks of the “Steve-Guitar Heroes”. “De-Evolution Of Theory” now describes not Darvinsche formula, why all the Steves...

Review from The Jitty
Posted by Hunter on Sun, 12 Dec 2010.
Steve Senes (or if you want to find him on Youtube, noisenet) is the multi talented self taught guitarist who seems to have snuck in under the radar and caught quite a few people by surprise. He’s also very annoying. Why? Because when I should have been writing this damned review, I picked up my RG270 and started to groove along to Greaseball. If it...

Review from Metal France
Translated from French
(Style: future guitar heroes?) Here it is instrumental, in fact Steve Senes, talented guitarist, his art highlights of the six strings on a dozen titles. He won the “Guitar Player magazine’s Superstar” in 2009, with among others as a member of the jury of people such as Steve Lukather, the American guitarist, plays his instrument since I was young and has...

Steve Senes DE-EVOLUTION OF THEORY DR2 RECORDS 8.11.10 @www.vanguard-online.co.uk
Ok, let’s get one thing straight, I’m lousy at Guitar Hero to the point that my missus kicks my ass. All those years with the tennis racket haven’t had any effect on my ability to play like Eddie Van Halen. So when Steve Senes latest release came my way, I must admit that my repressed guitar failings clouded...

Great music all now know that the world is full of great musicians, who probably never will be discovered by a large audience. Eric Clapton, Slash, Carlos Santana, especially for guitarists has been a permanent guard of what most people consider the crème de la crème. But occasionally occurs in the spotlight a musician who just reminds us again...

Review from Metal Discovery
Review by Mark Holmes 8.5/10
Senes actually refers to guitarist Steve Senes, a new name for me although the press sheet states he’s “played with various bands over the years”. ‘dE-eVolution oF thEorY’ is his first solo instrumental album which has been entirely composed, performed, produced, engineered and mixed by the man himself, rather admirable considering the...

For fans of: Shredding… and more…
Steve Senes, the man with the name behind this album, is a bit of an unknown guitar god…although probably not for much longer. One listen to the material on his debut instrumental “De-Evolution Of Theory”, or to write it correctly “dE-eVolution oF thEorY”, will...
