Free Music Review: Great set of solos, and it ROCKS! A true gem!
Hit: 5 Stars
I won't give to this album five stars just because this was the first album I heard from Yngwie and I was completely blown away by his guitar fireworks. No! Instead, I will give five stars to this album because it contains a subset of the greatest solos Yngwie ever spitted in the middle of his songs. From the expressive-but-flashy ones on "You don't remember I never forget" and "Queen in Love", the furious guitar-keyboard lines in "Liar" and "Fury", the beautifully dark solo in "Dark Ages", to the meaningful and tastefully neoclassic solo on "Fire"; Yngwie showcases here why he was one of the greatest gunslingers (if not the greatest!) in the middle eighties.
And if good, impeccably played solos weren't enough to earn five stars, then I'll add that the opener "You don't remember I never forget", as cheesy as it gets, is one of Yngwie's catchiest songs ever. Also, listen to "Queen in love". Isn't that one a memorable song too? Ok, Mark Boals perhaps doesn't sound like Jeff Scott Soto (matter of taste!), but he still does know how to sing. And he sings GREATLY here. Mark Boals is a top metal vocalist for sure! And what about the Johansson brothers on the keys and the drums respectively? These guys add a lot to this very tight incarnation of Rising Force, just to deliver the goods with high energy and professionalism. Five stars to the band as to the album!
But wait, there's even more to "Trilogy". For example, do you still think that Yngwie is just about a flurry of notes? Well, I'm afraid you are WRONG! Yngwie has a lot of feeling too, as well as a great control of dynamics, a great lead tone and a great finger vibrato. You could still listen to any solo from this album to see what I mean, but I'll instead make a special mention to the masterpiece "Crying". You listen to that instrumental song, and only a deaf would come back to talk again about "emotionless playing" and "Yngwie" on the same sentence. "Crying" says it all, as the guy goes from a gentle weeping to a total anguished crying at the end. Yngwie Malmsten was the real deal back then, believe me!
Thus, no matter how egocentric Yngwie might look (or really be), I give credit to him for redefining what metal lead guitar is about. For the dessert, just have a listen to "Trilogy Suite Op. 5" to taste how the scariest guitar chops a human being can play are put to work for a true musical opus. Nowadays Yngwie might have ruled out of ideas, but in the eighties he was the man, no doubt about it. Just listen to the "Trilogy" album on its entirety to confirm that fact. Five shiny shredding stars!
