Neat. So, what albums of his have you given a shot? Just so I can tell you which ones to attempt and avoid, cause his stuff certainly becomes patchier the farther you go, with the occasional flaming hot caveat and exception like Perpetual Flame.
Concerto Suite, Alchemy, and Perpetual Flame are definitely worth it all the way through for me. War To End All Wars, despite the meh production is good, Relentless is like a slightly lesser Perpetual Flame, Spellbound is legitimately atrocious, World on Fire is good if you can get past the fact that it's Yngwie singing and he's just not that great, Attack!! and Unleash The Fury are meh, Angels of Love isn't the most offensive thing. That's just me, though.
Rough. Trilogy, Odyssey, Magnum Opus, Fire & Ice, and Eclipse are my personal favorites, but his best overall? Couldn't say.
That is exactly what they do. I don't have much respect for Trivium, but they have some fun songs and I don't really care about how credible they are. I'd call them a guilty pleasure if I believed in the concept.
Death Dealer has to be one of the best opening tracks in his entire discography. I heard that one and immediately bought the album. It was too awesome to pass up.
