what can i say?..dont know exactly but this album is a blast

i think it's one of the best things he ve done since seventh sign and magnum opus,

the songs in this album are pure neoclassical and dark at the same time

they all remind me of the 80's and early 90's

the mixing is perfect and tim ripper really nailed all the songs with his dark vampire(ish) voice.

i give it 5 stars and guys i really cant stop listenin to it

i recommend it for all yngwie's fans

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Perhaps the same can be said of guitarists as well. But when you know as many tricks as Yngwie does, and can perform them as well as he does, well...don't fix what ain't broke. "Perpetual Flame" is Yngwie's first new album in more than three years, but was worth the wait. While Yngwie himself has been consistently mind blowing over the course of his career, some of his vocalists have not. Not to say they were bad, but just didn't seem to fit in with Yngwie's style, at least to my ears. "Perpetual Flame" still finds Yngwie in top form, but finally adds a vocalist who sings as aggressively as Yngwie plays, Tim "Ripper" Owens. Musically, "Perpetual Flame" is similar to Yngwie's last few studio offerings. But "Ripper" Owens vocal style is such a good match to Yngwie's musical style that the whole album sounds more alive and fresh than some previous releases. Well worth the price of admission. Play Loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Yngwie's best albums!, October 17, 2008

When I heard about Tim Owens being engaged as a vocalist for Yngwie's new album I said to myself: Finally! He finally got the singer who is as good vocally as Yngwie is as a guitarist. It's a perfect match! The songs are great, the solos are mindblowing, Ripper is in a dangerous form. And for the ones who want to listen to different things, go listen to pop music. I DON'T want Yngwie to do anything different (as new metal crap or emo) because of someone's changing musical taste. Way to go! And yes, he may be narcistic and arrogant, but it doesn't matter. He is one of the best guitarists alive! He doesn't care what all the losers think!
