Reviews Customer Reviews for Fire And Ice      next......      Rating:      Malmsteen is good, no question about it. He is all speed and no soul. This cd is garbage and sounds like something from an original nintendo video game with a hint of dragons and wizards. complete wang rock. Very uninspiring......     Customer Reviews for Fire And Ice Cd      Yngwie star was still bright      Rating:      Yngwie is a living legend of the guitar. I really admire him and I love to hear him playing when he is focused and concentrated. This album from 1992 is probably one of the last if not the very last very good album from him. After this one came only confused albums with some good moments here and there, but this one is his last big production effort. One of the last where he was able to put in his best. Sure this album is not Rising force or Marching out and neither Trilogy, in my opinion his best albums overall (together with Live in Leningrad probably). But Fire and Ice is a consistent album throughout with some very well written music and some very good guitar work from Yngwie in it. The only tune that I really can't stand is Teaser, too much AOR for Yngwie and completly out of place here. By the way Teaser doesn't mix at all with the rest of the material comprehended in Fire and Ice. It was probably put here for Elektra's will. Probably they told Yngwie, "man, we need to have a possible single to extract from the album" and so he did write Teaser. It was a video too if I remember well. But it is a poor song for real! The rest of the material instead have Yngwie at his best, not too much in the guitar hero role. He balanced more his parts and solos leaving more space to the compositions. But when he plays he plays very focused. The band is strong, Mark Boals voice very good for the material. The orchestration take this album in the Medieval atmospheres sometimes but it is something that you can expect from Yngwie. I return to this album from time to time, you can consider this one for sure, after the three or four Yngwie's albums I told you before (start with Live in Leningrad or Rising Force).
