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. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
