Still way better than Trivium.
Nah. Trivium are at least half gobshite, but they can actually write songs that aren't just an excuse to masturbate all over their guitars. Being listenable wins.

Yngwie also writes songs that are not all about his guitars.. listen to the video above to begin. There are multiple eras of Yngwie.

Dio called. Yngwie can keep the shitty fucking song, but he better watch his ass.

Yeah I'd go mid 90's even. Magnum Opus has some excellent songs.

Motherfucker, he has a 1978 demo with songs just as if not nerdier than that. He was diddling with that crap before Dio was even formed.

The closest he's come in the modern era to his previous greatness is Perpetual Flame, which I'd rank alongside The Seventh Sign.

Cute, I'll be going now that you appear to have exhausted anything in your reserves you may have had resembling an argument.

First impression: man Yngwie has a knack for finding good vocalists in general. Sort of like Ozzy and finding guitarists.

Yep, Tim "Ripper" Owens was yet another addition to the already absurdist catalogue of great singers he's worked with. Mark Boals, Joe Lynn Turner, Goran Edmän, Michael Vescera, Mats Levén, etc., he's got a wondrous ear for superlative, powerful clean vocalists. I guess its symptomatic of his general technical perfectionism.

There is most definitely some solid song writing on this. And this is yet another example where there is not too much emphasis on soloing like mr. barflord is suggesting.
If there's one fair complaint it's that, with Yngwie you often do have to turn a blind eye to the album covers lol.

I'm beginning to enjoy this thing on UM wherein a new user comes along and totally embarrasses themselves.
Trivium just rip off Iron Maiden and then add parts that appeal to douchebag metalbros and cutting myself plastic-goth chicks.

I'm sold. 3 songs and I'm buying this album. Epic.
They were:
Be Careful What You Wish For
Live to Fight
Priest of the Unholy

Glad to hear, surprised you hadn't heard it being as big of a Malmsteen fan as you are.

Yeah, except for Trilogy and Eclipse, and perhaps a couple others, they tend to be eye-rapey. Perpetual Flame is one of the biggest offenders there.

I was a skeptic up until a few years ago actually. I knew a guy who was a huge fan and I just assumed I wouldn't like it somehow. Finally I was at some music store and they had a buy 5 get 1 free or some stupid deal, and I picked up Yngwie Malmsteen - Trilogy because I was feeling open minded. Since then I've explored all of the first half of his career, but again, assumed I wouldn't like his later half. Now I won't make that assumption either.
