| | Guitar Nine Records - "Inertia" Review Featured In Inside Out Music America, |
 | | One could look at Inertia, however, as a shootout between Sherinian and drum legend Simon Phillips, both featured prominently, both bringing a level of technological acumen to the proceedings that is rare amongst players that are typecast as masters of their instruments. |
 | | But before all that happens, one is confronted with 'Inertia', the title track to the album, a resplendent display of angular, melodically complex chops from all corners of the room (The Leopard Room that is, Derek's high-end home studio up in the Hollywood Hills). |
 | | Ultimately, Inertia's sustaining lifeblood is in its versatility, although quiet and uproarious moments alike are attacked with a joie de vivre which one senses is embedded in the L.A. mentality of the album's collaborators and indeed, the setting of its assemblage, a pair of formidably wired home studios in sunny California. |
