	Metal Fatigue" is an album by Allan Holdsworth released on the Enigma label in the United States. It was a departure from his previous work with Warner Brothers due to their indecision about producing another album. The recording process involved different lineups of musicians for different tracks. Holdsworth experimented with synthesizers during the album's creation, leading to a shift in musical style and a desire for more instrumental music. Despite challenges with record companies, Holdsworth's move to Enigma Records allowed for more creative freedom. "Metal Fatigue" featured notable tracks like "Devil Take the Hindmost" and "The Un-Merry-Go-Round." Holdsworth's artistic inspiration and personal connections contributed to the album's unique elements, including a soprano sax-like guitar solo.

	[[File:Metalfatigue.jpg\|200px\|right]]"Metal Fatigue" is a 1985 solo album by Allan Holdsworth. After releasing "Road Games", Warner severed the contract with Allan. However, one of the stipulations of the contract was that Warners would fund a demo for a second album. Allan used that opportunity to record a large portion of the tracks for "Metal Fatigue". Jeff Berlin had left the band, and Jimmy Johnson was recruited as a new band member. Gary Willis also contributed on one track. Gary Husband and Chad Wackerman split the drum duties, while Allan presumably programmed "Mac Hine" himself. Allan's old friend Alan Pasqua makes a guest appearance. Paul Williams sings on two tracks, while Paul Korda contributes lyrics and vocals to "In The Mystery". This would be last album to feature Williams, and vocals would only feature rarely on future releases.

	Even with the large number of musicians involved, "Metal Fatigue" is a surprisingly cohesive album. But it straddles a rare kind of musical landscape. The title track is a rock song in format, albeit with very fancy chords, and a short yet blistering guitar solo. "Home" is a delicate instrumental with Allan's last recorded acoustic guitar solo. "Devil Take The Hindmost" is all-out instrumental jazz-rock, with one of Allan's signature solos. "Panic Station" is a pop tune in format, but with a bass solo. "The Un-Merry-Go-Round" is a long instrumental suite, which has jazz and rock elements, but which also belies Allan's inspiration from classical music in its form and some of its harmonies. "In The Mystery" wraps up the album with another bright pop tune.		Even with the large number of musicians involved, "Metal Fatigue" is a surprisingly cohesive album.
