EUROPE/WINGS OF TOMORROW

Descripción

THIS IS THE SECOND ALBUM BY EUROPE ON A REMASTERED CD. EUROPE WOULD OF COURSE ACHIEVE THEIR BIG BREAKTHROUGH IN 1984 WITH THEIR AOR-ORIENTED THIRD ALBUM THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. BY COMPARISON WINGS OF TOMORROW (1982) IS MUCH MORE OF A HARD ROCK EFFORT. STILL IT CONTAINS SOME FINE SONGS WHICH HOLD UP VERY WELL ALMOST THREE DECADES LATER. LEAD SINGER / SONGWRITER JOEY TEMPEST HAD AN INTUITIVE GIFT FOR MELODY WHICH REALLY COMES THROUGH ON THIS ALBUM. THE TITLE TRACK ALONG WITH STORM WIND AND SCREAM OF ANGER ARE THE MOST METALLIC SONGS AND FEATURE POWERFUL GUITAR WORK BY JOHN NORUM. SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE A BIT SLOWER BUT STILL VERY ENGAGING. THIS IS AN UNDERRATED CD.JEWEL CASE ( 1 )
