This is Yngwie's best album and it features his best vocalist ever Joe Lynn Turner. Yngwie combines Neo Classical Metal, Hair Metal and Power Metal to make his best album ever!
1.Rising Force- 10/10 Maybe Yngwie's best song ever! This song starts off with a great intro that leads into an amazing fast track with brilliant lyrics from Joe Lynn Turner and an awesome riff from Yngwie. Yngwie's solo is amazing as it's different from any solo he's ever done and one of his best. Yngwie trades off with keyboard virtuoso Jens Johhansen. Yngwie's fills in are amazing and and the ending line he does at the end of the song seems impossible. A true classic as Joe Lynn Turners vocals are very powerful.
2.Hold On- 10/10 A great commercial track with some very good vocals from Joe Lynn Turner who hits some very high notes. Yngwie's riffs in this song are excellent and fit this melodic song perfect. Yngwie's solos are amazing in this song as he shreds with emotion.
3.Heaven Tonight- 10/10 A very good commercial song. A very poppy hair metal song with a good riff. Yngwie's tone is perfect and Joe Lynn Turner's vocals are great too. Cheesy lyrics but Yngwie's awesome solo makes up for that.
4.Dreaming (Tell Me)- 10/10 An amazing acoustic solo intro which rivals Spanish Fly. This is a great "Power Ballad" with some amazing vocals from Joe Lynn Turner. A great soulful solo from Yngwie with some shredding thrown in.
5.Bite the Bullet- 10/10 An amazing instrumental that is pretty much like an introduction to Riot In The Dungeons execpt most of it is Yngwie going crazy shredding.
6.Riot in the Dungeons- 10/10 A great song with an awesome riff. The lyrics are excellent and Yngwie's fill ins are amazing. Yngwie's solo sounds different from all of his others and is filled with lightspeed shredding aswell as another keyboard solo! Turner's vocals are powerful and he shows a HUGE range once again.
7.Deja Vu- 10/10 Another great song with some more great riffs. Turner's vocals are excellent again and the chorus is great too. More good lyrics from Joe Lynn Turner and an awesome guitar tone from Yngwie. Yngwie's wacked out solo is amazing too even some use of the wah wah pedal.
8.Crystal Ball- 10/10 A great soft intro which bursts right into a great Dokken type riff. Turner's lyrics and vocals are very strong once again. As always Yngwie's fills are amazing. Turner hits some very high notes and Yngwie's solo is great aswell.
9.Now Is the Time- 10/10 A very poppy song. This is like 80's Rainbow with Yngwie on guitar but it's a very good song. This is a bluesier song with another great solo from Yngwie.
10.Faster Than the Speed of Light- 10/10 This is song is a great mix of Yngwie with classic Dokken. Joe Lynn Turner launchs notes into the stratosphere. Yngwie's solo is amazing and once again different from the other solos. The chorus is excellent too!
11.Krakatau- 10/10 A great instrumental with a fast melodic section which leads into a slow heavy section. Than comes another heavy section which goes into an AMAZING solo by Yngwie which lasts for a long time. A great instrumental which contains some great shredding and an actual song.
12.Memories- 10/10 A short beautiful acoustic instrumental. It's great but WAY too short.
This is Yngwie's best album it has something for everyone…power metal songs, neo classical shredding in the solos, instrumentals, catchy hair metal tunes. This is also Yngwie's best performance on a studio album..every solo sounds different and everyone has feeling and technical difficulty. Joe Lynn Turner's vocals are amazing as well and the rythym section is great. The writing is the best ever on an Yngwie album too. If you like power metal, neo classical metal, hair metal or virtuoso shredding rock than get this album. The band is

Yngwie Malmsteen Biography:
Born: 1963, Stockholm, Sweden
Active: '80s, '90s
Genres: Rock
Instrument: Guitar
Representative Albums: "Trilogy", "Rising Force", "Perpetual Flame"
Representative Songs: "Far Beyond the Sun", "Rising Force", "Heaven Tonight"
Yngwie Malmsteen is arguably the most technically accomplished hard rock guitarist to emerge during the '80s. Combining a dazzling technique honed over years of obsessive practice with a love for such classical composers as Bach, Beethoven, and Paganini, Malmsteen's distinctively Baroque, gothic compositional style and lightning-fast arpeggiated solos rewrote the book on heavy metal guitar. His largely instrumental debut album, Rising Force, immediately upped the ante for aspiring hard rock guitarists and provided the major catalyst for the '80s guitar phenomenon known as "shredding," in which the music's main focus was on impossibly fast, demanding licks rather than songwriting. Malmsteen released a series of albums over the course of the '80s that, aside from slight differences in approach and execution, were strongly similar to Rising Force, and critics charged him with showing little artistic progression. He was also reviled as an egotist whose emphasis on blazing technique ultimately made for boring, mechanical, masturbatory music with no room for subtlety or emotion. Malmsteen responded by insisting that since he was already playing music he loved, he had no desire to develop any further, and that his love did come through in his playing. He also vehemently insisted that it was his imitators, not him, who reduced songwriting and composition to merely generic vehicles to show off the guitar player's amazing technique. Toward the end of the decade, Malmsteen fell out of favor with metal audiences, and even some of his musician fan base seemed to tire of him and the incredible amount of practice it would take for them to emulate him. Following a series of personal setbacks, tragedies, and even injuries, Malmsteen eventually resurfaced on small, independent labels and then recorded at a prolific, rapid pace, continuing to play the music he loved in his patented neo-classical style.
Yngwie (pronounced "ING-vay") Malmsteen was born Lars Johann Yngwie Lannerback in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1963, later adopting his mother's maiden name following his parents' divorce. He was an unruly child, and his mother tried without initial success to interest him in music as an outlet. However, when seven-year-old Yngwie saw a television special on the death of Jimi Hendrix featuring live performance footage of Hendrix setting his guitar on fire, he became obsessed with the guitar, learning to play the music of both Hendrix and favorites Deep Purple. Through Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's use of diatonic minor scales over simple blues riffs, Malmsteen was led toward classical music, and his sister exposed him to composers like Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Mozart. He spent hours practicing obsessively until his fingers bled, and by age ten, his mother allowed him to stay home from school to develop his musical talents, particularly since he was considered a behavioral nightmare. Also at age ten, Malmsteen became enamored of the music of 19th century violinist/composer Niccolo Paganini, as well as Paganini's flamboyant style and wild-man image; this would provide the blueprint for Malmsteen's synthesis of classical music and rock. By the time he was 18, Malmsteen was playing around Sweden with various bands attempting to find an audience for his technically staggering instrumental explorations, but most listeners preferred more accessible pop music; frustrated, Malmsteen sent demo tapes to record companies overseas. When Mike Varney, president of Shrapnel Records – a label synonymous with the term "shredder" – heard Malmsteen's tape, he invited the guitarist to come to the United States and join the band Steeler in 1981.
Steeler recorded one album with Malmsteen on guitar, but dissatisfied with the band's rather generic style, Malmsteen moved on to the group Alcatrazz, whose Deep Purple and Rainbow influences better suited the guitarist's style. Still not quite satisfied, Malmsteen formed his own band, Rising Force, with longtime friend and keyboardist Jens Johansson. The new band's first album, also called Rising Force, was released in 1984; it was a largely instrumental affair spotlighting Malmsteen's incendiary guitar work and Johansson's nearly equally developed technique. The album was an immediate sensation in guitar circles, winning countless reader's polls in guitar magazines, reaching number 60 on Billboard's album chart (no mean feat for an instrumental album), and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Malmsteen's subsequent albums, Marching Out and Trilogy, also sold quite well and consolidated his reputation and influence as a composer as well as a soloist. However, on June 22, 1987, a speeding Malmsteen crashed his Jaguar into a tree; in breaking the steering wheel with his head, he received a blood clot in his brain that nearly killed him and extensively damaged the nerves leading to his picking hand. In the course of recovery, he learned that his mother had died and that his manager had swindled him out of his earnings. Undaunted, Malmsteen regained the use of his hand and recorded Odyssey, his most accessible, radio-friendly collection to date; the single "Heaven Tonight" widened his audience beyond a devoted core of guitar fans and helped push the album into Billboard's Top 40. Following a world tour including the then-Soviet Union, the Rising Force unit disbanded and Malmsteen formed a new band in his native Sweden for 1990's Eclipse. The album was a success in Europe and Japan, but stiffed in the U.S. without much promotion.
An angry Malmsteen left PolyGram and, prior to the release of 1992's Fire and Ice, he was married to and divorced from a Swedish pop singer. Fire and Ice debuted at number one on the Japanese charts, and Malmsteen toured the world again. However, disaster struck frequently over the next two years. Hurricane Andrew destroyed Malmsteen's Miami property; his manager of four years died of a heart attack; Elektra dropped him from their roster; a freak accident left the guitarist with a broken hand, in addition to frequent bouts of tendinitis caused by his lightning technique; and in August 1993, Malmsteen's future mother-in-law, opposed to his engagement to her daughter, had him falsely arrested for holding the woman hostage with a gun. The charges were quickly dropped, and Malmsteen secured a deal with the Japanese label Pony Canyon after his hand had healed completely. He returned to recording with a vengeance, releasing The Seventh Sign in 1994, as well as two mini-albums (Power and Glory and I Can't Wait), and then Magnum Opus in 1995 and the all-covers album Inspiration in 1996.
After several years in near obscurity, Malmsteen returned to the headlines in 2002, after a fellow airline passenger threw water on him after he allegedly made a slanderous comment about homosexuals. This incensed Malmsteen, who had to be escorted away by security, all the while screaming to the passenger that she had "unleashed the f*cking fury." This stint proved to be so popular in revitalizing his career that his comeback album in 2005 appropriated the phrases as its title. While his popularity has largely faded in the U.S. due to a backlash against the excesses of '80s shredders, Malmsteen still finds audiences in Europe and is more popular in Japan and Asia than ever. Instru-Mental was released in February 2007.
