This was Europe’s fifth album that was released in ’91 and was the last before they went on hiatus, only to reconvene for 2004’s Start From The Dark. I get why they disappeared, because melodic rock wasn’t the flavour of the month but they went out on a high as this is one hell of a record.
Kee Marcello is the axeman on this one and he rips up a storm all throughout the album. If I’m pushed, I would say this is my favourite Europe album because from front to back there is not a bad note played. Who says talent shows don’t produce good bands? Europe are living proof that that’s not the case.
Fave song? Well, that’s a tough choice because every song has a killer hook and chorus but Seventh Sign just nicks it for me. Superb riff and groove that swings so right and you can’t help but sing a long to this one.
Yet another album in a long line of you should own this one.
9.5/10 from The Grooveman.
