The first Yngwie's album I had as a kid and still one of his best. Perfect blend of melodic and catchy hard rock and AOR with neoclassical shred and power metal. I wish Joe Lynn Turner and Johansson brothers stayed in Rising Force a lot longer...

Yngwie's commercial peak and his quest for Top 40 relevance. By far not his best release and the guitar is toned down quite a bit from his earlier releases. But if you like top 40 catchy songs with some fancy guitar built in, go for it. Othersie, his first 3 are much better bets from a metal guitar standpoint. Features Joe Lynn Turner on vocals.
