Review by Shezma for Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Fire & Ice (1992)

I like this album. I don't love this album. When he goes all out with his guitar you can call it metal, otherwise this is glam rock at most. I don't mind his singing here, but if it wasn't for those special riffs this would just fall in this mix of late 80's early 90's rock. Looking again at the release year of '92 I realize this is a bit late where so many other bands have already been doing this hard rock with explosive riffs that this just doesn't hit the mark that's already been done so it's nothing as new and aww inspirings as his debut Trilogy which I should give another spin for reference. This is just solid, good, above average Yngwie. I won't remember anything on this but it is by no means bad, just unremarkable amongst a sea of other neoclassical metal.
