I love the old Yngwie but he's sounded purely rote for years.

it reminds me of what would happen if you imported an entire backing track and then played and sang over the top. 3 tracks. Guitar, vocals, everything else. pretty heinous. He can still rip but it just feels gross.

Literally laughed out loud at this. Just out of morbid curiosity, wondering why you're listening to your grandmother pinch one?

Maybe he needs to go back to a proper 24 channel analog mixer because he clearly has no idea of what he is doing in the digital realm.

I agree! He should record analog like the Foo Fighters did on "Wasting Light". That album sounded amazing. I just get the impression that with his playing, singing, and probably trying to control the mixing and mastering process, he is just forcing and rushing things. Most of the songs I've heard from this sound like he sang quickly right before boarding a plane or some other priority he had. His voice doesn't sound calm or have feeling.

Similar to his guitar playing. Makes sense.

Not exactly shocking. I loved his early stuff, but dude hasn't released anything worth listening to in quite some time imo.

I don't really want to pile on too much so this will be my last post regarding him (for now 
)
I feel like his comment about The Beatles was almost the last straw for me. I just don't respect him and now I can't even take him seriously. It was like he was waiting for an opportunity to say that he would never do that (use weird chord progressions) because he's classically trained.
Then, in another article he talks about how he saved Fender from bankruptcy back in the 80's.
Also, in the below - he describes why he doesn't like Floyd Rose bridges (with locking nuts) and humbuckers. Two implementations that EVH used a lot and EVH had classical training too. EVH could play stuff that was pleasant to my ears though.
During a conversation with Guitarist Magazine, Yngwie Malmsteen took aim at the renowned Floyd Rose vibrato arm, calling it a "horrible" piece of equipment.
The guitarist said:
"I wouldn't use a Floyd. They're horrible. What they do is cut the neck off at the nut. All the harmonic response is in the headstock of an electric guitar. Anyway, I never understood why you would need one. My Strats don't go out of tune."
Yngwie continued by sharing his disdain of humbucker pickups, saying:
"I don't like humbuckers, either. I like the single-coil but stacked. With a traditional humbucker, the definition of the note becomes more muddy. That's because of its 'magnetic window.'
"A single-coil pickup's magnetic window picks up less of the string, so has more accuracy but it hums a lot. If you stack the coils you get no hum.
"Gibson-style pickups are often hotter, and what happens then is you muddy the original source of the sound. My pickups are not so hot that you have a distorted signal.
"It then goes to my Fender pedal that I designed. That boosts the signal up to my Marshall, that I designed, which is a regular 1959 Super Lead, really."
