I have many times, in fact since Odyssey, have had my disbelieves about Yngwie and his music, but every time I have had to change my opinion. I think it was because since Odyssey no one of Yngwie's albums have sounded like the first three and it's a natural thing to questioning new things - things that you are not use to.
Every time, however, I think Yngwie have proved time and time again that his music doesn't stand still - it changes all the time and every new album is different to the former. Good! Still he has kept some of the things that makes Yngwie to be Yngwie, for instance his way of handling the guitar and his solos. However, he has also put in new elements in his music, such as more background vocal harmonies like on the album Facing The Animal and in the song Miracle Of Life from his latest album War To End All Wars.
Also he has such a variety of his music, a few examples:
Icarus' Dream Suite Op. 4, Crying, Leviathan,
Pyramid
Of Cheops, Vengeance, Air On A Theme, Leonardo,
Quantum
Leap, Sarabande and Black Sheep Of The Family.
These songs are only a few but shows the great variety of Yngwie. Who
can match that?
