Don't like his style.
Don't like his personality.
Can't name one song of his.
Never seen him live.
He's got one really popular album from the 80's right, but I can't think of the name of it. Rising Force maybe?
But honestly, that wasn't that bad
I second this. Couldn’t have said it better myself

The drummer credited is his son. Lannerbach (spelling) is Yngwie's real last name. I doubt that he played, or if he did, Yngwie quantized and replaced it with samples, so it sounds like a drum machine awash in reverb.

Well, his son is apparently named Antonio from what I can gather. Plus, his original surname is seriously misspelled in the liner notes. It's Lannerbäck, not Lannerbach. I think it's some kind of joke.

One thing I want to add. I'm no expert at recording but even at a basic level, I've learned a trick to cut hiss and background noise out of a recording and sounds like he didn't. You can hear this noise thru the recording that grates on the ears. And as some of you mentioned, he needs help learning how things sit in a mix.
With that said, yes he is a phenomenal player but like all things Yngwie, thinks he always knows what is best instead of trusting the people around him and sticking to the playing.

Huge Yngwie fan here going back to the Alcatrazz days. Even I cannot find any defense of this fetid, steaming pile of crap he has come up with.
It is incredibly depressing that THIS, is what the mans career has come to. Yngwie is so delusional, he thinks he is an effective "one man band." These days, he does everything - sings, produces, engineers, plays bass, keys and drums (if they really are drums and not a machine.) It all boils down to the mans ego and inability to get along with anyone. God forbid he assemble a decent band and dare I say this - collaborate in some fashion! Spellbound, World On Fire actually may have been decent albums with a proper band and especially a proper singer. Someone needs to turn Yngwie's vocal mic off - that overwrought, growling style with cliché ad libs just reeks of amateur hour.
And for songs he claims to love so much, he actually botches the words in a few ("Foxey Lady") and there is at least a verse missing from "Smoke On The Water." "Forever Man" - he didn't even bother to conjure up a proper ending!

I just listened to a few minutes from each song. There are a few like "Peace Please", etc. that are pretty cool sounding. The majority is just a mess. The one thing that surprised me with almost every song is the timing. It just sounds off enough to throw the whole song off in my opinion.
I try to be open minded when I'm listening to something, especially bands I have been listening to for so long. I'm just blown away at the mixing, vocals, timing, etc. It is more like something I'd expect to hear out of a jam session or something. If one of the things were off, I could excuse it. We all know Yngwie isn't the best singer, but if the mix was good and the timing was on, I could sit back and be open minded and enjoy it. The sum of all the parts jacks things up. Like I said, there are a few cool moments but overall this is a dud.

Just goes to show you how little I know about Yngwie and his music.
I think it is safe to say that I am downright ignorant of it. It's just that every time I tried, I just could not get into it. Probably like how a lot of people feel about in 311.
But when I listened to the song in the OP, what I heard was something different (to an extent). All the things you guys are pointing out as being amature'ish came across as a humble attempt to try to put something together that was different than before so I listened to it with an open mind - poor execution or not. I guess what I'm hearing from you guys is that that is not the case.

Umm, I don't think this is as bad as everyone is going on about.. having said that, I would have preferred anything over another covers album. This is just like Spanish Castle Magic from Live in Leningrad, just some blues fun for him, but I didn't really want to hear a whole album of it.
I had the same feeling after Ace Frehley's recent cover album, just seems like a waste of time when I'd rather hear original songs.

I liked it lol
Not liked it enough to hear it again, but liked it enough to listen all the way through and enjoy the shred blues
I think Blues Race Car Yngwie is a step up from the recent Race Car Metal offerings he was serving up. It helps his limited voice range as he is not that far off in this genre. He could use more blues and less shred in his solos and it would impact more.
He does his love strats and cars!

I liked some of it...that said not a huge fan before, nor after this. blues, IMO, ain't about cramming a hundred notes in a single measure of music...technically impressive, but riding a three or four note sequence at different times with feel is better musically, to me anyway
and yea...WTF w/ all that reverb, holy shat man...it does get in the ears awfully...

Whatever the artistic or musical judgement, the playing is still incredible. Even under the pile of filth/dogshit, I can sense the genius. That is all.

Q:Of your hundreds of guitars, what are some gems in your collection?
YJM: Well, the one guitar that's on the cover of my first solo album - the guitar that I toured America with. I basically had that guitar and a toothbrush when I came to the States. It's beat-up now but I've been offered seven figures for that guitar.
LOL, I am sure someone offered over $1 million for that guitar...1 million pesos maybe.

Had to post this.
In an interview with guitar.com he basically said that he would never mix together weird chords like The Beatles used to do because he's classically trained
Paraphrased: "They'll put chords together that really no one out there would ever think of those chords: they're not theoretically correct. I wouldn't do that because I'm classically trained..."
https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/ge ... _that.html
Then, I listed to his cover of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'
I couldn't take 30 seconds of it. The singing was pretty bad and he wasn't in time with the song not to mention the unnecessary shredwankage

Man he butchered a great Beatles song. He needs someone in the studio with him to restrain him. With the right guidance, he could have much better recordings. He doesn't let the songs "breathe" enough and tried to jam too much into the spaces.
If you listen to his early stuff, he had these moments of brilliance but played to the song more. His tones were cleaner too. The quality of his recordings is the biggest travesty though.
