Odyssey cover art

Featuring former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, this release marks the Swedish guitar virtuoso's most deliberate pivot toward radio-friendly, commercial hard rock. Despite the accessible, AOR-leaning choruses, the record remains deeply anchored by dazzling, classically-inspired fretboard acrobatics, cementing its status as a staple of eighties shred culture.
