This album was and still is one on the top of my list. Rising Force influenced the entire music generation I was fortunate enough to be in. Yngwie's style and aggressiveness cast a broad shadow across the slackers and the lipstick crowd and challenged every guitar player to strive to be better. An ethic in music that has been missing for many years. I for one think Jeff Scott Soto's few (but incredibly powerful and distinct) additions to this album are some of my fav's and to say the least outstanding! I love this !! I'm done......,
