Customer Reviews
Up to that point Europe had received moderate popularity in Scandinavia and Japan. Their first recording deal was awarded to them after winning a music competition in their homeland.
The problem with having a major hit to the scale of the 'The Final Countdown' is keeping up the momentum.
Europe sustained moderate success until the early 90's when their fifth album received luke warm reception and the onset of Grunge Rock all but killed the traditional 'Stadium' rock sound of which Europe was synonymous.
So, is this yet another greatest hits album which Europe fans will pass by because they already have all the tracks? Well, actually, no it isn't - not quite. Full marks have to be given for not being tempted to call it 'The Final Countdown'. 'Rock the Night' is a title more suited to Europes style. All the singles are included, except 'I'll Cry For You' in which the far superior acoustic version appears. A few surprises too include the brilliant 1986 version of 'Seven Doors Hotel', previously unreleased tracks 'Here Comes The Night', 'Mr Government Man' and 'Long Time Coming'. Also good to see a couple of live tracks make the list too, 'Let The Good Times Rock' and 'Time Has Come'. The surprises don't stop there, the instrumental 'Aphasia' makes a welcome appearance to the double CD. A good measure of (why on earth was it not released as a single) 'Heart Of Stone', 'Scream Of Anger' and 'Yesterday's News' and you have a damn good album.
However there are a few disappointments - to miss the opportunity to include 'Break Free' and more so 'Rainbow Warrior' is a travesty.
Europe fans will be pleased with most of the choices and eighties rock fans will see just how good this band is. I say 'is' because they have reformed and are working on a new album due out sometime this year.
With this collection in mind it's something to look forward to.
