this is possibly the most amazing thing i have ever listened to.Yngwie is one of the fastest and most talented guitarists ever. oh yeah, don't listen to the moron reviewer who said shred metal is not music. it is about as musical as music gets. "If Yngwie wants to shred, put out a shredding album"... is this guy serious? this is a shreding album dumbass. and it is an amazing one at that. Boroque and Roll is an amazing song, and a fantastic demonstration of some of the greatest guitar work of the last few decades. this IS PURE MUSIC. in shred metal there is supposed to be a big emphasis on the guitar. so don't say how Yngwie goes on for too long, ruining the song, and desroying the "current key being played". notice how the solos are all in thew right keys. to say shred guts a metal song, is like saying guns, explosions, and hot women gut james bond movies. stick to reviewing what you know about, which is probably things like greenday, nirvana, and korn, bands where the guitarists play 2 chords. SHRED!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an awesome album. I got it this christmas along with 5 other cds and this just blows them all away. I have about 80 cds and I can still listen to this one every day. I think that it could have a few less songs but there arent any bad ones so it dosent matter too much. I think the best one on the album is Ship of Fools. Yngwies chourus riff fits so perfect with the vocals and the shred is amazing even for Yngwie. Another song that stands out is the insturmental Boroque and Roll. It is full of what Yngwie is all about and that is blindingly fast neo-classical shred metal. Yngwie is definatly someone you love or hate which I have realize. I know people that cant stand him and theres people like me who cant get enough of him. Im buying 4 new Yngwie albums as I speak. [...]

Yngwie at his best. Faster then humanly possible, smooth, hard, very classically infuenced and powerful. Get this album and you'll know what im talking about. The compositions are beautiful even at the speed they're played. I can't say anything to do this album justice, just listen to it.
