My own opinion of this album.
The Seventh Sign is an album that invites you to sing along with the songs. This album is also quite different to the former, both when it comes to guitar play and to the background work and harmonies, such as Meant To Be which has a guitar play that never has been on earlier Yngwie albums.
Significative of this album is the outstanding bass, which is clear and stands out very well.
Although this album is different one can hear the typical Yngwie style in songs like Never Die, which is the top song on this album. Worth mentioning are also the beautiful instrumental Brothers, Seventh Sign, the Bach tuned Prisoner Of Your Love and the acoustic guitar instrumental Sorrow.
