Scream is the third studio album by drummer Chad Wackerman, released on June 20, 2000 through Favored Nations Entertainment.[1]
Glenn Astarita at All About Jazz gave Scream a positive review, praising Wackerman's "intrinsic musical approach to the drums". He described the album as following the same direction as Forty Reasons (1991) and The View (1993), but also remarked that "overall, the album lacks some of the tenacity witnessed on the drummer's previous projects as the invariable pace and somewhat plodding flow supersedes some of its brighter moments."
John W. Patterson at AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, saying "Scream does a great job of measuring up to all those prior efforts overall and continues Wackerman's reputation for great fusion", in response to whether it measures up to Forty Reasons and The View. He went on to praise guitarist James Muller as "superb [...] tight, fluid, innovative" and likened his playing to that of Allan Holdsworth, whom previously played with Wackerman.[1]
