47. Yngwie J. Malmsteen / Alchemy. 1999. 3.5/5.

Here is another artist I abandoned after a particularly dreadful album (Eclipse), and did not rediscover until much later on.
Alchemy is another typical Yngwie album. There are lots of instrumentals, showing off his (and his band's) obvious talents. There are also some excellent songs here showcasing the vocals of Mark Boals.

The great thing about Yngwie is that you know it is him as soon as you hear the music start. His style is unique. So, chances are that if you like his music, you will like most things he does. Maybe even more so now that he has gotten that need to be commercially successful out of his system.

Rating : This is a pretty good example of what Yngwie can do. 3.5/5.
