Last Look at Eden

Last Look at Eden

• EUROPE LAST LOOK AT EDEN (LIMITED EDITION)

Although notoriously famous for the hit single and album The Final Countdown , that generated sales exceeding 10 million units, Europe have always been far from being a one hit wonder name. Before the world-known hit single, the band had released two solid and respected Hard Rock albums ( Europe and Wings Of Tomorrow ), reflecting their love for pure hard music (Deep Purple, Think Lizzy, Led Zeppelin...). After the The Final Countdown album, Europe release two more coherent albums Out Of This World and Prisoners in Paradise - works that the true Hard Rock connoisseurs welcomed warmly for the great skill in songwriting and musicianship.<br><br>After a long split, the band felt the need to come back where they belonged and the two albums after the reunion Start From The Dark and Secret Society are pure Heavy Rock gems, proving everybody Europe are one of the best bands around carrying on the Hard Rock flag and not just the pretty boys from Sweden. Last Look At Eden makes it even clearer. A monumental album based on heavy guitar, great keyboard parts in the 70s Hard Rock tradition and Joey Tempest confirming his talent as one of the most gifted voices in Rock today. The songwriting is mature and there is no single filler on the album.<br><br>From the epic title track, to the melodic ballad New Love in Town , the album level is always on the top range. Not as extreme and rude as Secret Society , the new Europe album is the ultimate mix of all the great elements that made the Swedish band famous all over the world: tradition, energy, melody and an unique sound. One of the best Hard Rock albums of the year.. This time, we re taking some new directions with our songs, and we re exploring different styles. There is a definite classic rock vibe on some of the tracks... a tip of the hat to groovin , funkin 70s rock songs - but ones we have brought into the here and now. We ve also got a couple of great ballads in the pipeline, and some thundering rock tracks that will knock you on your asses!<br><br>We ve taken all the best qualities from our modern recordings, and catapulted them to a whole new level. (Europe)<br><br>Vocalist Joey Tempest: Last Look at Eden is more a Europe album than Secret Society and Start from the Dark - Last Look at Eden is a real Europe album. We had to make those two albums in order to do this.
