Review

"Braveheart" is a name of a movie, right. Yeah, and it's from there came the title of this song. To tell the truth, Yngwie made this song, but he didn't have any title for it. So, he saw the movie "Braveheart" and a friend of him suggested Yngwie to put this name on the song, so Yngwie thought it would be nice and now you see the name's title. This song is heavy and nice too!" Facing The Animal" is also heavy with 2 guitars "all the time" one plays a heavy riff and the other plays solos. "Enemy" is the heaviest song on this album. "Like an Angel"is a song dedicated to his wife, April. Yngwie alternates the sound of his guitar with the sound of his acoustic. "My Ressurection" is really exciting. It's a little heavy. The riff of "Another Time" was a long time on Yngwie's mind so he thought interesting to play it on this song. It's really nice, you can listen Mats playing his keyboard clearly. "Heathems from the North" must be on Magnum Opus album, but Michael Vescera thought it didn't sound well this song on his voice and Yngwie agree with him instead Yngwie put "Fire in the Sky" to replace. When my brother bought this album "Alone in Paradise", at first time I listened this song, I liked it immediately. It's really nice. "End of my Hope" has a really nice Cozy Powell's "bang". The solo on the guitar is quite interesting. "Only the Strong" has alternation with heavy sound and light sound. "Poison in your Veins" was made with some difficult patrs on the guitar "Yngwie said". The speed is fast and Yngwie's solo much more! "Air on Theme" is a Vivaldi's song. "Casting Pearls Before the Swine" is a bonus track really nice and it's really fast too.
