#2430 Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force

Yngwie was super fucking down with classical music, and it shows. That rock beat, that guitar, trappings aside -- the actual song and structure is all Lisztian rollick, all shock and awe at the speed and intricacy. All the vocals are half-baked, but the actual fireworks, the actual fret-searing blitzkrieg, it's tough to argue with. This is some Wild Stallions bullshit. A justifiably influential metal-lite virtuosity onslaught 4/5
