Yes you're right as the other album from that time was just a live one.

Never forget hearing Rising Force for the first time. I was doing stuff around the house with the windows open and all of a sudden one of my neighbors slapped it on really loud. This would have right after it was released in 1983.

At that time no-one was playing like that. It blew the roof off. Unfortunately it didn't take long for a bunch of dudes to jump on the neo-classical band wagon, but Yngwie was the trailblazer.

Tony McAlpine's Maximum Security has always been my fave of that genre.
