Yngwie Malmsteen - Trilogy

Yngwie Malmsteen
Trilogy
Genre: Noodlefingers!

Highlights:
Crying
Trilogy Suite Op: 5


I’m a sucker for Metal masters who dabble in classical and try to make the case that Beethoven or Tchaikovsky would be metalhead if they were alive in the 70s-80s. I don’t disagree with that and I’m not an expert enough to weigh in. But, when someone as talented as Malm gets his fingers around some stuff that sounds like it could be by one of those geniuses, I’m all in.
“Crying” is that track here. 
The rest of it…meh…sounds like what you’d expect from medieval obsession, dragons and Malmsteen Metal.
