Messages Haven't listened to this one in years. I still think he peaked on the first Alcatrazz album. Chronic Fatigue Senior Member. Aceman said:. I love his first album to death, and the second is really good. Odyssey and Eclipse are the most listenable overall musically to me. I have seen Malmsteen, Moore, and MacAlpine in the past 2 years. That's a lot of notes! Chronic Fatigue said:. Aren't you in the Tampa Bay area? Messages 2, Supporting Member. Im Yngwie made players rethink the electric Guitar.
Yngwie, Eddie, Randy, Schenker, and Blackmore shaped my playing as a youth. They all shook the guitar world. His impact is immeasurable.
I loved Marching Out. Killer riffs, good songs, incredible playing. I still try to learn some of his stuff. Jet Bycraft Member. I hadn't listened to Marching Out since the 80's until just now! It sure brought back some memories. MO is definitely my favorite Yngwie album. Most of the songs have really solid ideas, powered by a sense of momentum and some great choruses that provide much-needed hooks to cling onto.
Always surprisingly compact in his songwriting, Yngwie puts the foot to the floor throughout 'I'll See the Light, Tonight', 'On the Run Again', and 'Caught in the Middle', all of which require movement as they pound their way through speedy riffs and Soto's towering choruses. The opener is certainly the strongest in this vein, with a great main lick and the best vocal performance. Of a different ilk are the slower 'I Am a Viking' and 'Don't Let It End', which pack in power in a more stately fashion, the former especially capturing a great swell of emotion as it rides "far away into the sea".
There are some softer introductions to a few songs, giving the album more rise and fall, while the short instrumentals are very valuable, not only showcasing the guitarist but also ensuring that nothing gets too familiar or workmanlike. I'm not totally clear on the historical precedence that surrounds Marching Out , though it must be said that the album has a wider-reaching influence than I had previously assumed and sets a high standard for guitar wizards and power metal shriekers alike.
Most of the songs are good, although a few are somewhat interchangeable, meaning that this is a great listen for those who like dramatic and skillful metal. The sound therein was supposed to be the definitive, but he made some changes in his formula, using two brief instrumentals and nine normal songs i.
This formula may not be something nice for you, but for me this is one of the few important changes that brought good results in terms of musicianship. He wanted to expand his sales in other countries, but he did not fall in the sold-out status of other bands, such as Metallica, Megadeth or Testament. Conversely, he just did some adjustments to his sound without losing its essence, which included, taking out a lot of soloing moments, giving a chance to Soto's vocals and trying some faster cuts, like "Anguish and Fear" and "Disciples of Hell".
The rest of the songs are in the middle of the range and they are just the typical 80's traditional metal songs with some traces of power metal and lyrical epicness. Notwithstanding my comments above regarding the important decrease in soloing, the album is full of great guitar solos, including the intro of "Disciples of Hell" and "Anguish and Fear". On the other hand, keyboard solos were almost absent from the album, taking a more atmoshperic role i. So, if what you want is something different from guitarsmatic music, the release is for you.
Bear in mind that being guitarsmatic at all time is harmful, since after three albums, is easy to lose your mind and start to compose bullshit. After the monumental, almost entirely instrumental debut album, Malmsteen comes back with a second album, this time more band oriented and with only two instrumentals.
The relentless high tempo guitar soloing is reduced in favor of Jeff Scott Soto's powerful lead vocals. The basic formula for the non instrumental tracks is verse-chorus-verse-chorus type of thing with the leading guitar throwing in between some fast neoclassical sections. I often wonder if such a type of album is just a commercial attempt at trying to reach a wider audience, or a true experiment to try a more vocal based approach for songwriting.
Anyway, both instrumental tracks 'Overture ' and the title track are kind of disappointing comparing to the thunderous sharpness the instrumental tracks from 'Rising Force' had. Then the drums stops and the song becomes slow paced with some clean guitars at the background and a mellow leading theme that doesn't really goes anywhere. After awhile Malmsteen remembers that he has some skills to show and attacks the fretboard in high tempo, but before he manage to pull out something more than average, the song ends.
Now, the title track which is also the ending track, is just a pure disappointment. It sounds like Malmsteen trying to copycat 'Black Star' from his former album with the mid paced rhythm but again, this song just vanishes before anything interesting happened. Rest of the album is an average 80's metal.
You got the high soaring and quite powerful vocals of Jeff Scott Soto that makes this album less boring than it could be, some cliche lyrics about vikings and the devil and some catchy choruses 'I'll See The Light Tonight', 'Anguish and Fear' to make this album not totally forgettable. Another plus of the album is the presence of 'Jens Johansson' that still played here a few blazing synth solos that collided with the guitar solos quite well.
Anyway, 'Marching Out' is quite anemic effort comparing to Malmsteen's debut. Too many flaws, not enough highlights, nothing spectacular. Okay, I have to say this right off the bat: I am a huge Yngwie Malmsteen fan. Anybody who knows me well will tell you that. I always have been a fan and probably will continue to be. But this does not mean I do not understand his faults. But when people start to whip them out as they often do, I point them towards the direction of this album.
Coming off of Yngwie's last album "Rising Force" which is also fantastic , one might think what's left to prove? The ability to write good vocal songs. You see, although I really do like "Rising Force" the problem with that album is the vocals songs. They are not particularly interesting, and although not terrible, not anything too memorable.
And overall, that album lacked balance. But any problems that were obvious on the previous album have nearly completely disappeared more on that later. First off, Jeff Scott Soto one of the best vocalists in this genre has reappeared with a much more prominent role than before this time even contributing lyrics to multiple songs , secondly, Anders Johansson is the drummer this time who fits the shred genre better then Barriemore Barlow did, and finally, Yngwie continues to show his incredible talent in a few different ways than before sure he still uses the harmonic minor scale frequently, and shreds a whole lot, but he explores some different areas as well So onto the actual music: The moment you pop the album in you hear a typical intro.
Nothing special, but it does set up the first real song pretty well. And this is a perfect example of Yngwie exploring some different areas. This album is packed full of awesome riffs probably more so then any other Malmsteen album.
And of course, Yngwie delivers a killer solo. Now if you look at the list you'll see there is something missing. With a monster like Jens Johansson as your keyboardist you should use him more frequently which is one of the very few flaws in this album. The first 3 show off the great chemistry between Soto and Malmsteen, "Soldier Without Faith" shows the band's attempt at a more epic track, while "Overture" shows that Yngwie truly can play melodically.
I really can't complain about anything on this album. It's just brilliant, each member contributes what they need to. Even bassist Marcel Jacob R. P shows he knows how to be in the backround without being too invisible. The vocals are just so godly on this album as well. And Jens' solos are definitely something to write home about.
I also love the lyrics. I guess, overall the greatest thing I can say about this album is, unlike the album before this and some after it, this album really sounds like a BAND, not just one person with people backing said person up.
