The third full-length album by legendary British Progressive/Psychedelic Rock band.
The band's first album to feature guitarist Steve Howe, who replaced Peter Banks in 1970, as well as their last to feature keyboardist Tony Kaye until 1983's "90125".
The album was the first by the band not to feature any cover versions of songs.
While the album retained close harmony singing, Kaye's Hammond organ, and Chris Squire's melodic bass, as heard on earlier releases, the new material also covered further styles including Jazz piano, Funk, and acoustic music. All of the band members contributed ideas, and tracks were extended in length to allow music to develop. Howe contributed a variety of guitar styles, including a Portuguese guitar, and recorded the solo acoustic guitar piece "Clap", live at the Lyceum Theatre, London.
The album was a critical success and a major commercial breakthrough for Yes, who had been at risk of being dropped by Atlantic Records due to the commercial failures of their first two albums. It reached number 4 in the United Kingdom and number 40 in the United States, and was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for surpassing one million copies. The album is one of three by Yes to appear in the book "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die". The album is also featured in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".

Debut full-length solo album (eventually the third in total) by legendary Swedish Neoclassical/Shred/Hard Rock/Power Metal guitarist-virtuoso.
Yngwie J. Malmsteen, a virtuoso guitarist who burst onto the music scene in the early 1980's with the rather stereotypical 80's Metal band Alcatrazz, became renowned for his speedy play and mesmerizing solos. After Yngwie departed from Alcatrazz, he launched a highly successful solo-career. Yngwie's debut album "Rising Force" put Malmsteen on the map as a solo artist when the album drew critical acclaim for it's virtuoso-like guitar work. Yngwie followed "Rising Force" with his second album "Marching Out". Yngwie's sophomore release didn't draw as much praise as his debut did, but it never-the-less was another work of sheer guitar brilliance and helped elevate Yngwie to the ranks of a guitar-god. Malmsteen was hyped, if not over-hyped, when he came into the music scene early in his career. Many called him the "Next Hendrix" and critics began to deem Yngwie as the next great guitarist, and possibly the best to ever live. While Yngwie's rankings as a guitarist are up for debate, in order to live up to his praises Yngwie released "Trilogy" his junior release. The album shows a more mature side of Yngwie, both in his guitar and in his lyrics.
Yngwie Malmsteen's second best album after "Rising Force", "Trilogy", finds him delving wholeheartedly into fantastic, medieval themes and lyrical imagery. Yngwie's compositional skills are at their peak, and of all his albums, the lyrics here contribute the most to the overall feel of the music. The guitar solos, as always, are jaw-droppingly fast and technically demanding, but Malmsteen is still capable of playing them with force and fire behind them.
In the liner notes, Malmsteen dedicates the album to the memory of the late Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was assassinated on 28 February 1986.
Album reached #44 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for thirteen weeks!!
"Trilogy" is an album that shows Malmsteen's amazing guitar work as well as his decent lyrical potential. While many feel it is not as good as "Rising Force" the Swedish Guitar-Maestro's debut, "Trilogy" lives up to the expectations many had for Yngwie as a solo artist. If Yngwie's band did not solely revolve around his guitar and he was more a key component in a band rather than a solo guitar artist, Malmsteen could have risen to the heights of Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, etc. But as a solo guitar artist, Yngwie is held in the highest regards!!

The third full-length studio album (eventually the fourth in Malmsteen’s discography) by the band of legendary Swedish Neoclassical Power Metal/Hard Rock/Shred musician.
Odyssey is a more subdued, polished collection seemingly designed for mainstream radio airplay. Vocalist Joe Lynn Turner gives the set a smooth, professional feel, and Yngwie Malmsteen's playing is more mellow, due partly to the fact that he was still recovering from his near-fatal car accident when the album was recorded. However, all of this works to the detriment of the music: the mellowness of Malmsteen's guitar work makes him sound constrained and passionless, and the album shows little difference in approach from his previous output, lending credence to critics' charges that Malmsteen plays with mindless technique at the expense of substance, fire, and emotion.
The "Odyssey" album by YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN'S RISING FORCE is a Must for each fan of Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica etc., because here we have the original (ok, almost, if there were not Rainbow still). The Swedish finder artist could win former Rainbow and Deep Purple singer Joe Lynn Turner for his fourth album. And with the current Stratovarius keyboarder Jens Johansson there was another well known artist in the line-up.
Just compare the two songs "Rising Force" and "Will The Sun Rise?" and you will know, where the Finns took their insane guitar/keyboard duels from. Exactly, from Yngwie! And he had taken them from the Deep Purple dream team Ritchie Blackmore/Jon Lord.
Melodic Metallers, who like the above mentioned bands, have to have the "Odyssey" album, if they do not have it already!!!
The album reached #40 on the Billboard 200 chart (as of 2014 it remains Malmsteen's highest-charting Billboard 200 release) and reached the top 50 in five other countries.

​​​​​​​

The debut full-length studio album by the band of legendary Swedish Neoclassical Power Metal/Hard Rock/Shred musician.
"Rising Force" was a revelation upon its release in 1984; Eddie Van Halen had introduced dazzling speed to the realm of Rock guitar technique, and the compositions of Randy Rhoads had begun to fuse Heavy Metal with Neo-Classical influences, but no one before Yngwie Malmsteen was able to combine those elements with such blinding virtuosity. Malmsteen's innovative guitar style made "Rising Force" a mandatory primer for '80s Metal guitarists, with its classical chord progressions and Malmsteen's use of harmonic minor scales, a wide vibrato imitative of classical violinists, and impossibly fast picking techniques, including the sweep-picked arpeggio (sort of a cross between strumming a chord and picking each note individually). Malmsteen's obsessions with Bach, Beethoven and Paganini are used in the service of a dark, stately, gothic atmosphere and sent guitar students scurrying to learn their works as well as Malmsteen's own.
The true inauguration of the age of the guitar shredder!!
Album reached #14 on the Swedish albums chart, #60 on the Billboard 200, and later received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammy Awards. In a 2009 article by Guitar World magazine, "Rising Force" was ranked first in the All-time Top Ten List of Shred Albums.

The second full-length studio album by the band of legendary Swedish Neoclassical Power Metal/Hard Rock/Shred musician.
Yngwie took a different route from the amazing yet highly inaccessible debut and opted to write an album with more songs and less instrumentals. The results are completely amazing. We have all the right elements that make a great mid-80s Metal act, drawing lyrically from the dark subjects touched upon in the NWOBHM, though the music is still far more complex.
Jeff Scott Soto gives the vocal performance of a lifetime on here, pushing the limits of how far a natural male voice can soar, and still maintaining the rough edged Rock style that was present on the debut album. "I'll See the Light Tonight" and "Soldier without faith" represent two of probably the most amazing and simultaneously impossible to recreate singing feats ever put forth by a Metal band.
The guitar solos are equally as complex and magical as before, but their time length and overall structure has been balanced out a bit more, making them easier to remember after few listens. Such tracks as "I am a Viking" and "I'll See the Light Tonight" have melodic themes that can be easily recognized, despite being highly complex and fast.
The instrumentals on here consist of "Overture 1383" and "Marching Out", both of which are dramatically shorter than those on the first album. The former has a lot of tempo and textural changes, as well as a very catchy, yet somewhat cliché melody line during the solo section. The latter is pretty steady rocker with a good deal of amazing guitar work, and works well as a closer.
Malmsteen's playing on the follow-up to the epochal Rising Force is slightly more raw and aggressive, but the most notable difference is the addition of lyrics on many of the songs. By his own admission, Malmsteen isn't much of a lyricist, and his frequent use of occult and pagan imagery (demons, Vikings, and so on) isn't as effective at producing a dark, gothic mood as his compositions and guitar playing are. Still, those aspects of the album are vital and stimulating, making Marching Out a worthwhile listen.
There are essentially no bad songs or filler on here, although some songs are so amazing that you find yourself wanting to skip back to listen again, or skip over a couple of the less amazing songs to get to them. The eighth track, "On the Run Again", is a remake of "Victim of the City", a 1983 song by Malmsteen's earlier band Steeler, which was later released on their 2005 compilation album "Metal Generation: The Steeler Anthology".
This album is a bit more accessable than the first one and recommended for fans of traditional Metal and Power Metal a bit more enthusiastically. Fans of Symphony X, Rhapsody, Dark Moor, Helloween, Adagio and Stratovarius can all find something of their own favorite bands in this album!

The debut full-length studio album by russian Black Metal band.
"V Petle" ("In The Noose") offers four tracks rich in passages of not only Black Metal, but Folk, Post-Rock, Avant-garde and Ambient as well. Stylistically, while not presenting a total combination or fusion of the genres, the band offers a cavalcade of segments and passages that flow together intravenously. 
The mix is never overbearing with however many instruments are playing at a time, and everything sounds great. The riffing guitars range from the Post-Metal/Atmospheric sound as if they’re soaring through the heavens to the bleak tremolo riffing all to common in Black Metal. The bass is surprisingly thick and audible for Black Metal. Every instrument has the right amount of echo to it, adding even more to the Atmospheric presence it graces the listener with. 
Zatemno have delivered an exemplary debut album, rich in a variety of style and atmosphere. Even if Black Metal isn’t in your library of taste, the album is worth visiting for its sections of experimentation alone.

"Afterburner" is a follow-up to their blockbuster "Eliminator". No matter how much you dress ZZ Top up, they're still ZZ Top. Sometimes they can trick you into thinking they're a little flashier than usual, but they're still a Blues band from Texas, kicking out Blues Rockers. And Blues Rock just doesn't kick when it's synthesized, even if ZZ Top's grooves always bordered on robotic. So, "Afterburner", their most synthetic album, will not please most ZZ Top fans, even if it did go Platinum several times over and reached number four. That's all just a sign of the times, when even Hard Rock bands had to sound as slick as Synth Pop, complete with clanging DX-7s and cavernous drums.
As an artifact of that time, "Afterburner" is pretty good. All this means that "Afterburner" is merely a product of its time - the only record ZZ Top could have made at the time.
Although critics' response to the album was lukewarm, "Afterburner" was a commercial success, eventually going Platinum five times and launching one hit Single, "Sleeping Bag", which peaked at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, equalling the peak of their previous Single, "Legs". The album yielded three other Top 40 Singles in the United States: "Stages" (no. 21), "Rough Boy" (no. 22), and "Velcro Fly" (no. 35).
The album was the band's first to hit number 1, topping the charts in New Zealand. It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200, at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, and at number 6 on the Australian albums chart. In the UK, it was the band's second album to be certified by the British Phonographic Industry, attaining Gold (100 000 units) in 1985. In 1990, it was certified Platinum (300 000 units).

The first European release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/Boogie/Hard Rock band.
The first ZZ Top release on Warner Bros. Records and eventually went Platinum.
Returning from a two-year hiatus, the band began to showcase the influence they have collected during the time away; Gibbons' time in Europe introduced him to Punk music, the influences of which seeped into the creation of the album. The band also consciously tried experimenting with technology: Gibbons saw an episode of The Phil Donahue Show where a person's identity was protected using silhouette and a pitch shifter; liking the sound, he asked engineer Manning to call the show and find out what the effects unit was. Manning eventually convinced a reluctant show producer to reveal it, and the effect was used for both vocals and guitars on songs like "Manic Mechanic".
The album also marked the first time that ZZ Top featured cover versions on a studio album: "I Thank You" by Isaac Hayes/David Porter and "Dust My Broom", credited on early editions to Elmore James but subsequently credited to Robert Johnson, who recorded it in 1936. Elmore James had adapted and popularized the song in 1951.
