Steve Huey at AllMusic gave Trilogy four stars out of five, calling it Malmsteen's second best album after his 1984 debut Rising Force. Malmsteen's compositional and lyrical skills were described as being at their peak on Trilogy, while his guitar work was praised as "jaw-droppingly fast and technically demanding". Huey listed "Dark Ages", "You Don't Remember, I'll Never Forget" and "Trilogy Suite Op: 5" as highlights.[3]

gollark: Shrink it further.

gollark: Shrink Windows a lot?

gollark: 512GB is enough for anyone™ and costs about, what, £60? Maybe more with ongoing supply chain implosions.

gollark: NVMe SSDs also don't cost that much more nowadays.
