Have we covered this yet?? Just terrible..Zero ideas left and he needs to let someone else mix and produce whatever ideas he has left. Ozempic Yngwie needs a singer badly.

I am torn because I like the old classic sound but definitely sounds like a road we have been down before.

I made it to 1:09, which honestly I think is a new record for me with yingwee.

Exactly..I think his guitar tone on it's own sounds good actually. But can we get some variety and new vocalists?

I love old yngwie but this is rough
it's completely pro-toolsified, and his voice has never been good
You can tell even though it's been autotuned/melodyned within an inch of its life he's still barely able to keep the pitch together, and it's sad
If you recorded this with a little more care, and hired a legit power metal style vocalist, the song may not be that bad? Even if it is derivative of his earlier work.
But I can't even listen to it that deeply because of the recording quality and the vocals

I actually like the song, but it sounds like a scratch demo before actually going in to track more than a finished product...

Yngwie’s really branching out here. Unfortunately, it’s his waistline again.

The intro riff has been done in a thousand variations already, but this one is lifted specifically from No Rest For The Wicked, which has been in his set list ad nauseum.
I actually like the main riff of the song though, but thats about it.
Whatever drum machine hes using has an old ass drum sound. There are cheap vst out there that sound better than it. His drum sound would even be better if he used the free demo Slate drums, sadly.
The arpeggio section sounds like it has been generated by an Yngwie Arpeggio Randomizer.
Its all just Yngwie x Yngwie = more Yngwie

Agreed. Yngwie is at his best when it's like 50% not yngwie. Especially having a real singer
I seriously have no idea what's going on with this production - it's like they used pro tools to try to make something sound analog and old school but fucked it up really, really bad

I listened when I first saw it come out. Almost, and I mean almost, sounded ok at the beginning. Then the singing started. Man. Get a singer and stop this Yngwie.
What is that sound modern vocals always seem to have. This spitty, digital sound and like the mic gain is super high. Always sounds like they are way up front and right in my ear. Can’t stand it.
I’ve prayed for so long Yngwie would have one last redemption arc and put together a cool group and record something old school. Maybe even branch out to some different styles, but in the Yngwie way. Like imagine him doing something with a jazz fusion 5 string bass player or something? Never going to happen though. Just one lackluster album after another.
At least we got the earlier albums. And I’m talking into the 90s too. Great stuff. I love the guy, just can’t do this new stuff.

I like the song, but surely it wouldn’t cost much to get a good singer. I pay about $100 for singers off Fiverr that are pretty good. If he could get the dude who sang on Michael Romeo solo albums, that would hit like crack.
