Review

Vengeance begins with a classical piece, then suddenly turns fast and heavy. Next one is "No Love Lost". It has a really cool rythm. "Tomorrow's Gone" is a little bit heavy. After comes "The Only One". Yngwie recorded the video clip of this song on his Studio 308. It is very exciting, the riff is amazing!"I'd die without you" is a song dedicated to his wife at that time "Amberdawn". It's a very beautiful ballad. It begins Yngwie playing acoustic guitar. The sound of the acoustic is really smooth. There are alternation between the heavy sound of the guitar and the acoustic's solos. "Overture 1622" is an instrumental song with two guitars "all the time" soloing very fast. The number 1622 comes from Yngwie's last name, Malmsteen, history. It was created in 1622 after that there were a lot of changes on it. "Voodoo" is the next and a very nice song. It's heavy and exciting. Its riff is perfect! And the solo spectacular. "Cross in Line" is anice song, the melody is really cool. The solo of it makes you fly. "Time will Tell" is the next and Yngwie mixed the sound of his heavy guitar with the sound of his sitar. It sounds mystical. It's really interesting. The speed of "Fire in the Sky" is exciting. The solo of it is really fast! It's a masterpiece! And y'know, Yngwie's solos are always improvised! "Amberdawn" is an instrumental song dedicated to his wife at that time "Amberdawn". This song is really beautiful. You can feel his feelings at the time he played the song on the studio. It makes you fly and it's like a soothing. "Cantabile" is an instrumental piece of Vivaldi's song. It's really beautiful!!
