reception

“The band, which was founded 30 years ago, brings a breath of fresh air into the hard rock scene and mixes it up vigorously. Because the founding members John Norum and Joey Tempest show the full range of their skills on this album: While John Norum shows his skills on the guitar, Joey Tempest shines with his feeling for catchy melodies and of course with his unmistakable vocals. The album is characterized by highly melodic hard rock, which proves that Europe has not lost any of its creative talent even after so many years in the rock business. You can speak of the “comeback of the year” with a clear conscience, because every track is a real listening pleasure. [...] It is remarkable that Europe are still doing classic hard rock on a large scale, but have not missed to keep up with the times. The album sounds new and exciting, but still brings back old hits. "
