Customer Reviews of Inspiration
Pretty Good Album. This CD of Yngwie's versions of different songs that have inspired him is not bad. Of the ten songs on this album, I only like three of them though. Those three would be "Carry On Wayward Son," "In the Dead of Night," and to a smaller degree, "Anthem." The others aren't my taste really. "Child in Time" is very drawn out and long. It's interesting getting to hear Yngwie sing lead vocals on the Jimi Hendrix tune "Manic Depression." I actually like his version of "Carry On Wayward Son" better than the Kansas version. Yngwie did a great job with his version; he put more aggression in it. "In the Dead of Night" is also one of my favorites on here--very well done indeed. His guitar playing along with the keyboards makes for a very good song, along with Mark Boals good leading vocals. Don't remember if I've heard UK's original version of this song. The cover of the Rush song is also good. The rest of the songs aren't very interesting. This album does have some good moments.
A master cover album! With the excellent interview!
10 songs. One Hour. 9 musicians. Sounds like a cheesy rock game show? Nope. It's the Yngwie cover album. Yngwie, the excellent guitarist, has came out with an album consisting of some of the best 1970's hard rock. Carry On Wayward Son is more metalized, Pictures of Home has that classic Purple-like solo, Gates Of Babylon is a thrilling 7:00 minute killer, with Yngwie playing sitar! Manic Depression is an excellent blues-metal, with Yngwie singing, In The Dead Of Night has the best instrumental section known to prog-rock, Mistreated is that great classic from Deep Purple's Burn, great bluesy riff, Sails of Charon has that classic Scorpions solo, note by note. Anthem is that ol' Rush song, with the weirdest, yet hardest riff known to man. And, the Grand Finale, Child In Time, with the longest solo yet. About 4 minutes of soloing. GREAT! Excellent covers from Kansas, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Hendrix, UK, Scorpions, and Rush. GUITAR RULE!
Yngwie overkill ...
Being a guitarplayer myself I like to listen carefuly to records and these are my conclusions for thisalbum:
1. Yngwie is unique, wild and very fast on the guitar. A lot of us can only dream of having that kind of speed in the fingers. But the thing with Yngwie is that he's ALWAYS playing fast and every solo is ALWAYS like the one before. Blackmore, who's one of Yngwie's big influences, can much better adjust the speed of his solos and make them really functional. 2.Yngwie seems to be less concerned with the other musicians in the band and what they have to offer. His solos are recorded way too loud and during these moments you can barely hear what the others are doing. At times the songs get very muddy, especially on this album.
3. Yngwie's guitar sound is one of the best you'll ever hear. But the bass guitar (mostly played by himself) always sucks. It's not much more than a vibrato-like hum throughout the whole record. I think it could be done a lot better with a good bass player, but Yngwie will probably disagree ...
4. I couldn't detect one version here that is better than the originals. It's just Yngwie showing off and freaking out and I'm sure he had a great time recording this. I can listen to four songs in a row but five would be too much !
I give the album 3 stars.
