| I'm only 23 and This is one of my favorite CD's of all time. It has blinding virtuosity, and emotion put into the songs, especially Icarus' Dream Suite Op. 4 which has a melancholy guitar solo intro. This ain't no Blink 182

| Solo 19 a'os tenia el peque'o hijo del demonio. Yngwie un ni'o tocando guitarra mejor que cualquier otro guitarrista en la historia, despues de esto no existen ni steve vai ni mucho menos joe satriani con sus influencias jazz, ni ninguna de las cientos de copias que existen del Maestro. Creo poder asegurar lo que han intentado cientos de guitarristas: poder igualar al ni'o de 19 a'os, con sus 35, 40, 45, 50 a'os de edad y despues preguntarse como lo hizo a tan corta edad; Viva el Rey!!! Die !!!

| I saw this guy open for more people in the mid 80's and he always put on one hell of a show. Strangest pairing was with AC/DC. The contrast between styles was incredible but you know it worked !!! Master shredder who can slow it down and be melodic as hell. Loved his solo in 'Stars' on the Hear N Aid song. They don't make em like these anymore.

| When I fisrt heard this album I began learning theory so I too could be as emotional and dramatic. I worked on ny technique forever and realized after I became a clone that there is only ONE Yngwie Malmsteen. My first guitar hero bar none.

| The 'guitar wanker's' best solo album. Most likely due to the fact that most tracks are instrumentals. The first two tracks are worth the price alone, but are also on Malmsteen's best of album. 7/10

| Clone of Blackmore?i dont think so. Its true Blackmore strted with a great guitar playing technique in Rainbow and that yngwie's principal influence was Blackmore, but Ynwir Malsteeen was the fisrt guitasrrist to show a so increible amazing technique in guitar, his swet picking was something never seen before

| Awesome debut from Yngwie. Say what you will about his personality, this guy's way ahead of his time here. Jens and Jeff round out this masterpiece perfectly. Nice introduction into the world of metal.

| There are so many artists that evolved this way. 220 Volt, Pretty Maids, MSG, Magnum and many alike. All have the same thing in common - except for Pretty Maids, I was never a fan of the early fast paced metallic albums and all evolved to a melodic force of some sort. There is great guitar here, but as with all albums this style I miss the hooks and choruses and memorable songs. Sorry, just not my type of album at all.

HUGE CD 97/100   i still remember when i first hear it !it was like the first VAN HALEN or 'if you want blood 'by AC/DC a HUGE slap in my juvenile face and a crossroad in my life not just a record ! The guitar playing was so perfect !I was already a Guitar freak (EVH/BLACKMORE/SCHENKER/RHOADS) but this one blow me away for ever ! MAJESTIC NEOCLASSIC with some MAGIC/EMOTIONAL moments and SHRED all over your HEAD ! a TRUE CLASSIC

| All instrumental tracks except for two: tracks 3 and 6 have vocals by great vocalist Jeff Scott Soto. Yngwie's instrumentals are awesome though and if you're a fan of guitar you should hear them. 98/100

| fine instrumental MALMSTEEN debut and this one captures the whole spirit of his guitar playing with his neoclassical approach along with some emotion!not the best of songs ,but this mid 80 s sound always work for me and i d say that this is an ok option if you re into that stuff!

| Malmsteen's debut solo venture is an album I will always come back to. I enjoy the intrumentals Black Star, Far Beyond The Sun and Little Savage with their groundbreaking shredding while I also like Soto's vocals on Now Your Ships Are Burned (super song with a great riff) and As Above, So Below.
