    If your looking for "the final countdown" look elsewhere. Start From The Dark ROCKS!!!!

    I got this more out of curiosity than anything else.Being a child of the 80's a lot of those bands aren't even around anymore. Some are and are putting out pretty good music. I was not a fan of Europe back in the day. But I listened to Start From The Dark with an open mind and was pleased at what I heard. This isn't a retro album. The sound is completely different. and this album is full of great hard rock songs. I have 4 albums that've followed SFTD and each is filled with quality music. I am a fan of Europe now and am happy to say so. I have recommended this album to people looking for good hard rock music and will continue to.

    A band that was destined to be one of the great... what happened?
  

*by M***R on August 20, 2006*









  
  
    Europe was always one of the favorite bands of my childhood. Great rocking tunes, amazing voice of Joey Tempest, excellent, inspiring rock.Anyway, everybody only seems to remember "Final countdown" as their major hit and "Wings of tomorrow" as their best album. Well, that may be true, but it couldn't be more unfair to one of 80's best hard rock bands to have that as Europe's only achievements . Were not "Out of this world" and "Prisoners in paradise" any good? Those two albums are TRULY UNDERESTIMATED and are gems of hard rock music. If you're an Europe fan or are just curious about their music, go and listen to "Sign of the times", "Lights and shadows" and "Tomorrow" and tell me you're not inspired by them.Anyway, it is true that in most cases it is very difficult for an almost forgotten hair metal band to come back in the XXI century with something "brand new and exciting". The product, mostly ends up being "what they can offer to try to fit in the actual music market", not a unique piece of inspiration. If you don't believe me, refer to Heart's horrible "Jupiter's darling" (lyrics that would probably fit a Lindsay Lohan album, totally ridiculous for a band of ladies over 50, not talking about the boring 16-track long set of uninspired music) or Lizzy Borden's poorly crafted "Deal with the devil".Europe certainly didn't have it easy if they wanted to come back. Sure it is always a romantic dream for the fans of a long gone band to see their heroes back on stage. But then, dissapointment comes when they discover that much of the magic is gone. "Start from the dark", as its ominous title states, refers to an attempt to rebuild the glory of a band that lost the way in the early 90's. Well, it does not just fail to achieve that, but that positions them exactly "in the dark" without getting our of it. No doubt, Joey's vocals are excellent as always, and some of the tunes offer us a *different* side of Europe, but this album is surely Europe's weakest... the problem is that we have the "Europe" label on it... there would probably not be any problem if the label was "Joey Tempest - Start from the dark".And I'm not one of those fans that live in the past and would like the band to sound always like Final Countdown, actually I'm very open minded, but I would like to hear them back with something true and unique and not with something to prove they are "still alive" trying to impress an everytime more unimpressionable music world.

    Europe is alive again
  

*by B***T on January 6, 2005*









  
  
    Yes I like the project and give it 4 stars.  The album is dominated by guitar and vocals.  I thought Joey (why doesn't he finally use his real name?) could have given more on this project.  He sounds repressed and latent which fits the mood for many of the songs, but for crying out loud let it rip once in a while.  The vocals take on a feeling of the Chile peppers dude ... californication and angles at times.  Good album though. I have all the Europe albums and appreciate this one. It just wasn't what I expected, or hoped for.
