4 stars I am surprised there so few reviews of Yngwie Malmsteen here, given that he is instrumental to development of prog metal, especially the type that employs guitar heroics and rapid-fire synths-guitar tradeoffs. He also has an unfair reputation for being about the guitar only. Sure, his egomania is legendary and guitar is front and center of what he does. But he also is at least a good songwriter. His writing maybe not consistent, but many songs have proper structure, good riffs, catchy vocals, good intros and transitions, and of course, blazing solos. A song from this album, Soldier Without Faith, to my mind, is an immortal hard rock classic, and several others not far behind.
