Pros: The artsiest of Yngwie's recordings. Makes me wanna live in Scandinavia.
Cons: Only two of the songs have vocals, if that's a problem for ya.
You can point your finger at Yngwie Malmsteen for a lot of things. He's let himself get really fat, he's a pompous ass who apparently gets his jollies out of firing band members, and at certain points in his career, his stuff sounded like a less ...

Pros: Masterful guitar playing in a limited style

Pros: The technical brilliance is astounding
Cons: Would have liked to have heard a little more vocal pieces
Like many metal fans from the 80s, I was put off by Yngwie's reputation as a pompous jerk. I avoided buying his albums based strictly on that. But I had an English teacher who taught all of us aspiring writers, critics, or whatever to "judge the...
