Free Music Notes for Perpetual FlameFree Music Review: Malmsteen Releases Great Album with Ripper Owens Hit: 5 Stars
What can be said that hasn't been said before? Yngwie is one of the most creative guitarists ever. Taking blues and Blackmore and Hendrix and merging it with Paganini and Bach, the Maestro has truly created his own style! On this new CD, instead of utilizing singer Dougie White, he brings in Tim "Ripper" Owens, who currently sings with BEYOND FEAR and has done stints with the mighty JUDAS PRIEST and ICED EARTH. And like a grey DOD 250 Overdrive pedal taking a 1968 Marshall Amp to the next level, Ripper helps take Perpetual Flame to the next level of Kickass!
If you are a fan of neo-classical, metal, hard rock or GUITAR HERO, get this album.
If you have never hear of Malmsteen, get this album. Great addition to the Malmsteen Catalogue.
Thank you, and Good Night.
Free Music Review: The passion and fire still burning stronger than ever! Hit: 5 Stars
I expected this cd to be good even before I listened to it but "Perpetual Flame" was even better than I imagined. Awesome vocals by Ripper and King Yngwie's solos are more crisp and intense than ever. I thoroughly enjoyed every track but if I had to choose a favorite or two this soon I'd have to say the driving majesty of Be Careful What You Wish For and jaw-dropping speed and beautiful melody of Caprici Di Diablo (one of his best instrumentals) as the standouts. However, all the songs have very good, stick-in-your-head choruses that remind me of his earlier work but with the raw heaviness of his recent material.
So if you're an Yngwie fan and you still haven't ordered this yet, what are you waiting for?? And for those that have wasn't Magic City a pleasant surprise?
Free Music Review: Yngwie Forever Hit: 5 Stars
I am usually unsure about new Yngwie albums until I have listened to them a number of times. They always grow on me. Same thing this time. At first I hear the things that are most different (singer and production) and the things that are the same (the Maestro's favorite scales). As my over-attention to these things fade, the power of the complete compositions comes into focus.
Sometimes an Yngwie album that I don't really like at first becomes one of my favorites. I think that is going to happen with Perpetual Flame. I like it more each time I put it on.
This is a majestic album. Buy it.
Critics who give music one listen before judging it should stick to easily accessible pop music.
Free Music Review: One of Yngwie's best albums! Hit: 5 Stars
When I heard about Tim Owens being engaged as a vocalist for Yngwie's new album I said to myself: Finally! He finally got the singer who is as good vocally as Yngwie is as a guitarist. It's a perfect match! The songs are great, the solos are mindblowing, Ripper is in a dangerous form. And for the ones who want to listen to different things, go listen to pop music. I DON'T want Yngwie to do anything different (as new metal crap or emo) because of someone's changing musical taste. Way to go! And yes, he may be narcistic and arrogant, but it doesn't matter. He is one of the best guitarists alive! He doesn't care what all the losers think!
Free Music Review: You will not be dissappointed Hit: 5 Stars
12 amazing tracks of Yngwie at his finest. Ripper is the perfect addition to Yngwie's onslaught of guitar shredding power. If you are a fan and have never seen the man live, I highly reccommend it as it made me appreciate his talent even more. A few track highlights for me: Damnation Game-very in your face, screaming vocals, hard n heavy guitar playing and solos throughout the song. Red Devil-very catchy, fun song, has to be about Yngwie's Red Ferrari convertable (see album liner). Magic City-Featuring Yngwie on vocals, a nice relaxed song, slower beat the most of the rest of the album. You can always count on Yngwie.
