│║ ║ │
│║ Artist : Yngwie J. Malmsteen ║ │
│║ Album : Trilogy ║ │
│║ Label : Polydor ║ │
│║ Cat.No : 831 073-1 ║ │
│╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With two successful, guitar-intensive albums under his ║ │
│║ belt, Yngwie Malmsteen was a household name. But mainstream ║ │
│║ success has a way of tempting the prospective artist to ║ │
│║ become unsatisfied with what they have already achieved. ║ │
│║ This temptation, most fans reason, is why Yngwie continued ║ │
│║ to commercialize his sound as the 80Æs progressed. Though ║ │
│║ neoclassical and power metal elements still abound on his ║ │
│║ third album, 1986Æs Trilogy, the overall sound is more ║ │
│║ reminiscent of typical 80Æs pop metal than not. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For the most part, Trilogy isnÆt very remarkable as far as ║ │
│║ metal albums go. Many of the songs feel same-y, with the ║ │
│║ only real differences occurring in tempo. ThereÆs your ║ │
│║ straightforward rocking numbers (ôYou DonÆt Remember, IÆll ║ │
│║ Never Forget,ö ôFire,ö ôQueen in Loveö) and thereÆs your ║ │
│║ up-tempo power tracks (ôFury,ö ôLiarö). Both are seasoned ║ │
│║ with the heavy synthesizers all the bands were so fond of ║ │
│║ in the mid-80Æs and despite a few distinctive riffs arising ║ │
│║ as the album progresses, thereÆs not a whole lot of variety ║ │
│║ here. Mark Boals is the vocalist on this album and he shows ║ │
│║ that heÆs certainly no replacement for Jeff Scott Soto. ║ │
│║ Boals isnÆt bad (he proves his worth from time to time), ║ │
│║ but he lacks character, not to mention a decent vocal ║ │
│║ range. And with the standard drums, standard bass, and ║ │
│║ generally non-technical keyboard work, the only outstanding ║ │
│║ aspect of Trilogy is the guitarwork. And honestly, YngwieÆs ║ │
│║ shredding does start to get predictable here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But thereÆs still the matter of instrumentals. On Marching ║ │
│║ Out, the vocal songs were rock solid with the instrumentals ║ │
│║ being mediocre exceptions. This is exactly the opposite on ║ │
│║ Trilogy: while the vocal songs lack definition, the two ║ │
│║ instrumentals are the highlights of the album. ôCryingö is ║ │
│║ characterized by its central acoustic line (synth-backed of ║ │
│║ course) that serves as the base for some of YngwieÆs more ║ │
│║ emotive soloing on this album. Some of the harmonic ideas ║ │
│║ presented here must have certainly had an impact on Michael ║ │
│║ Romeo, as his compositions in Symphony X regularly reflect ║ │
│║ this and other Malmsteen masterpieces of the 80Æs. Of ║ │
│║ course, itÆs nothing compared to the albumÆs closer, the ║ │
│║ epic ôTrilogy Suite Op. 5.ö Returning in full to his ║ │
│║ neoclassical roots, the ôTrilogy Suiteö is one of his ║ │
│║ finest works, period. Everything just comes together on ║ │
│║ this song; guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards all working ║ │
│║ towards a common goal of instrumental perfection. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So although mediocrity abounds, Trilogy is still a pretty ║ │
│║ good listen overall. And with one of the coolest album ║ │
│║ covers of all time (though there are more than a few ║ │
│║ Philistines that dismiss it), itÆs definitely worth ║ │
│║ checking out. ║ │
