According to Wikepedia: Yngwie Malmsteen left Polydor records in the 1990/1991 season, signing a new contract with Elektra/WEA Entertainment in 1991. As a result, this album was poorly promoted by the record label, whose corporate officers were engaged in a boardroom war to choose a leader of the company that did not end until mid-1994. The label from 1991-1993 was chaired by Bob Krasnow, Anita Baker, and Natalie Cole, thus making the label very chaotic. When a final leader, Sylvia Rhone, was chosen, she set out to remove all 80's bands from the label by bankrupting them, thus hurting Malmsteen's career.[citation needed]
The album was to be Malmsteen's last major commercial outing. It was his third and last attempt (starting with 1988's Odyssey on Polydor) at scoring a hit album with late 80's/early 90's American glam metal audience. The album, apart from the song "Teaser", however, was more closely rooted in neo-classical metal than any album he'd done since 1986's Trilogy (also on Polydor). It featured three stunning neo-classical instrumentals, as well as several good neo-classical metal pieces. Being a more commercial album, it featured bright, clear production as well, which is still credited by fans to this day.
I'm just experiencing a wave of nostalgia. I thought this album was way underrated.
A great Yngwie album just like Wikepedia says.
Also as a footnote, the early 90's became the era of grunge metal and all the 80's bands including Yngwie were just old hat - all of a sudden - grunge is all over the magazine covers but diehard fans don't forget. Point being that there's nothing wrong with Yngwie in the 90's - he was just off the fashion radar. Yngwie's fall from popularity wasn't due to the more "commercial" albums like "Odyssey" or "Eclipse" but to the rise of "Grunge" (the horror, the unspeakable horror).
