Album Description

Europe, the hard rock superstars are truly back with their stunning release called Start From The Dark. Recorded in their native Stockholm, this new offering shows the quintet reaching into their hard rock arsenal, unleashing twelve incredible tracks of definitive Europe for their multitude of fans worldwide.

Their smash "Got To Have Faith" kicks off this brand new album into high gear. Soulful guitar licks and a soaring drum beat provide an excellent stage for Joey Tempest's vocals.. Uplifting lyrics, solid band performance and the fine production from the ever talented Kevin Elson make this new Europe recording their finest in years.

The title track "Start From The Dark" begins with a smooth acoustic guitar section by John Norum. As the song amps up with the thumping bass lines provided by John Leven and the heavy drumming of Ian Haugland, this track really shows how the band effectively utilizes melodic elements throughout while pleasing the heavy metal kid in all of us.

Crowd pleaser "Spirit Of The Underdog" shows the fine keyboard artistry of the talented Mic Michaeli. This beautiful melody soon turns into a rock and roll anthem with the strong vocals of Joey Tempest. Interesting lyrics abound, complete with a wall of searing guitars, Tempest's composition is one of the finer moments of this rewarding fine collection.

In the hard rock music circles, Europe's Start From The Dark was one of the more highly anticipated comeback releases of 2005.

Rockin' Return.......2007-03-31

Reading some of the other reviews for Europe's 2004 comeback album Start From the Dark, I'm reminded of a scene in a Simpsons episode where the hippie running the recycling station (brilliantly named "Uriah's Heap") tells Mr. Burns: "You're living in the past man, contemporize!" That seems appropriate here, as so many people seem to expect the band to break out the Aqua Net and synthesizers and pretend that the past decade never happened.

Instead of trying to repeat past glories, Europe gave us the one thing we had every right to expect: a first class rock & roll album. Sure, the band's style has changed a bit, but this isn't the work of a band trying to glom onto the latest musical trends. Start From the Dark showcases a more mature Europe, who was able to build on the past 2 decades of great music and continue to grow and improve. The most drastic changes are the heavier, crunchier guitar work and the lack of Final Countdown-style stadium anthems. At the heart of it though, you're still getting the same high quality melodic hard rock that the band has been delivering since 1982. And I'll argue that the songwriting on this album is as good, if not better, than any other album the band has released. If it has a more modern sound, then so be it. I'm not the same 11 year old kid listening to The Final Countdown for the first time, so why should I expect the band to remain the same?

Start From the Dark flat-out rocks, people. From the opening riffs of "Got To Have Faith" and the powerful title track, to the laid back "Roll With You" and Thin Lizzy inspired "Hero", right through to the smooth closing track "Settle for Love", Europe has delivered another fantastic album, and the best comeback album since Tesla's Into the Now. It's a shame that so many people will miss it because they are looking backwards instead of forward.

A band that was destined to be one of the great... what happened?.......2006-08-21

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.

Starting over? Yes! ...in the dark? Most certainly........2006-06-08

Europe's first album in over a decade immediately drew my interest because at one time these guys were my favorite band in the world!

OK, I'll admit it. It WAS "The Final Countdown" that first got me hooked, but I did check out the first two albums ("Europe" & "Wings Of Tomorrow") right after thier mega chart-topper was released, and afterwards went on to find the next two releases, "Out Of This World" and "Prisoners In Paradise" to be even better than Countdown to my ears!

Now that you know I have been a huge fan of this group for a long time now, I'll tell you that after hearing a lot of rather ugly reviews for this new CD by fans of the band's old works, I decided to approach it, as best I could, with an open mind. Knowing full-well that what lay within was to be nothing like the Europe of old...the Europe so many, like myself, came to love and enjoy so much.

Truth is that I feel like I was the benefactor of some great albums by bands whose loyalists accused them of selling out to make those very records. Groups like (Jefferson) Starship, Fastway, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep and many others who wanted to fit in and make it onto the charts in the 80's made albums their die hard fans hated but that I liked very much because of the style. So with "Start From The Dark", now I'm old enough to be on the other side of that equation and I didn't want to be one of those grumpy conservative types who won't even entertain something as hideous in notion as an 80's hair band dominated by keyboards trying to grow up a little and do something different. O.K.?

So what do I think of "Start From The Dark"? It is just that for sure, dark! But one thing becomes clearly evident the minute you start listening to this album. Lead singer Joey Tempest IS this band! He defines every song on this record, and on all the other albums too. His vocals are such a signature and recognizable trademark of the band, that I believe Europe could pump out a death metal album and it would still be Europe. More than just a little even!

That being said, we turn now to the music, which is the most obvious shift in direction from the last album over ten years ago. OK, like we said, it's darker and less "happy" than the 80's material (mostly anyway). The energy is still there it seems, but it has blackened a bit around the edges and matured quite a lot as well, and for me, that's where the real problem lies with this release. All of the fun we had with Europe before is quite simply, and sadly gone!

Actually I didn't find the songs themselves to be all that different from anything else Europe has ever done. The compositions and arrangements are all very similar to the Europe of days past, it's just now the chords of the guitars are way out in front and have a real heavy sound to them. The hooks and melodies are all there I believe, but everything musically gets buried under the clear-cut attempt at just being heavy.

I think the return of original guitarist John Norum had a lot to do with the ball and chain sound on their comeback effort. He left the band while Europe was still touring for The Final Countdown and went on to release a number of solo projects. A couple of which were very good, but all of which were way heavier than anything Europe ever did after "Wings Of Tomorrow".

Personally I always liked his replacement Kee Marcello way better. His style fit the band's sound more cohesively I thought, and I wish he would have returned to this reformation to perhaps breathe some party back into this album's rainy day shut-in sound.

All in all, I didn't dislike the album really. I kept an open mind throughout it's entirety I feel, and at the end of it all wasn't really disappointed. But I certaily wasn't glad they were back all that much either.

Musicians are funny people for certain. Like all artists it seems, the minute they get successful doing one thing, they all want to do another. That too is what makes "Start From The Dark" a little bit disappointing...the timing! If Joey, John and the rest of the boys needed to get their grunge album out there for us to hear, they should have hung on for a while in the mid and late 90's to do it then! Perhaps they don't realize that there has been a huge resurgance in the interest for the style of music they used to play back in their glory days of the 80's, and purist fans of that genre would have lined up for blocks (o.k., maybe one per hour at least) to get a slice of what Europe did so much better than so many others like them at the time.

I should also mention that, ironically enough, I listened to "Start From The Dark" right after hearing the new release "Detour" by Scandinavian AOR wizards Crystal Blue. I'm doing a review of that album next, and if you were hoping to find a piece of that great Europe sound all over again, I can't recommend you checking out that album enough! For this true blue fan, the ones who have stayed that ever winding and cheesy course like Crystal Blue will get the 5-Star nods from me. While suddenly creative separatists who have self-retired to the bottom of the mountain like Europe will be saddled with a generous three for their latest efforts. (More like 2 1/2 really!)

Sorry guys, I did try....

Like There first album.......2006-04-04

This Europe album is more hevier of what they used to sound back in the 80s. They use more guitarriffs and Norum is a fantastic guitarplayer. In this album they use more inspiration from modern bands like Audioslave and Velvet Revolver. But they still use some from their old material. It's still sounds like the old Europe, but a little bit modern. I heard in interview with the bandmembers that this album is by far the best album they ever made, and i have to admit about that.
But you have to repeat the album over and over again to understand that this really is Europe.Because listen to it only twice, it may became as a chock for you, and you ask yourself "Is this really Europe?". But after a couple of repeatings you understand that this is Europe.

PS: Stay tuned for the next Europe album which will be in stores in Europe in oct-nov 2006. I dont know about the US-release.

Suprised!.......2006-03-31

This release caught my eye when it was first released, but I was reluctant to buy it because I was simply not that impressed with the other Europe releases I owned. Now I could kick myself for not having this around since the release date! This is one of my favorite CD's - PERIOD. I cannot get this one out of my player! It is different from everything else Europe has done, and I like it.

The songs are strong and catchy. The guitar sound is downtuned which is not something I care that much for, but Norum's guitar work and Tempest's vocals have me hooked!

Amazing..........2004-11-21

While listening to Campaign Moving Slow, you can't help but think Thursday and Sunny Day Real Estate have been fused together to bring you We.re All Broken. This band is absolutely incredible. With beautiful chord blending, the infectious Baltimore won't be able to leave your head. If you haven't already, go see them live because their energy is simply amazing.

Having followed We're All Broken for several years, this disc arrives much anticipated. Though I did have pretty high expectations for a record that is the culmination of years of playing and writing together, I could never have expected the breadth of what they have achieved. Every song is filled with unexpected surprises and the little intricacies that reward repeated, focused listening, while immediate listens are equally enjoyable due to the energy and passion these guys bring to the table. This is not a rock record to listen to once and toss in the pile. But it is a ROCK record...to be played loud. From the opening track to the last, We're All Broken take the listener on a journey through heavy excursions, beautiful melodies, ambiguous lyrics that still mean something(to those who like to use their imaginations every now and then) and ambient and electronic textures that create a cohesive album that doesn't sound like one long song, but a unit as great or greater than the sum of its parts. Albums like these are hard to come by from any band, and for a debut record to be as strong as this, the future of We're All Broken is something to get very excited about. Start paying attention.

And Extremely Organic" John Norum Finishes.

classic Europe.......2007-05-15

Considering the saturation and monotony of today's rock scene, Europe have done a good job of composing hard and soft melodies for every fan of hard rock, as some call it.
Anyway, love listening to it and the combination of rock and ballads. Worth the money.

Rockin' Return.......2007-03-31

Like there first album.......2006-04-04

Europe for me have always been my favorite band since i've been a little boy. I remember when The Final Countdown came out in 1986, i was About 5-6 years old. I became hysteric everytime i listned to it. I grown up listen to Europe.
year 1992 they decided to take a big break after 10 years in a road, as a band, alot of people thought that it was the end of the band, including me. Joey's gone solo and his music is far away from what Europe used to sound, his alot more softer as a soloartist.

After 12 years of a long break Europe is finally back in the road again as you problably have mensioned by now. This album is alot more heavier of what they used to sound back in the 80s, they use more guitarriffs. I heard on a intervew that this album is the best album they ever made, and i think i have to admit that they are right about that. In this album they use some inspiration from other modern bands like Audioslave and Velvet Revolver. But they still use a little bit inspirations from there old material. it still sounds like Europe.
But you have to repeat the album over and over again to understand that this is a very good Europe album. Because the first time you listen to it you may me shocked and ask yourself "Is this really Europe?". But after a couple of repeatings you hear that this is Europe.
Stay tuned for Europe's upcoming album coming out in october-november 2006.

One of the top 5 Albums of the 21 century so far.......2006-03-19

Hero is awesome, stands out right away. This is not an album that jumps out at you right away, but after 4-5 times in the cd player, you're hooked. I was for sure. The album is better than 99% of all the other albums that are coming out these days- and that's b/c these guys have talent! Don't expect total 80s style, but do expect a great album. You can tell it's Europe, and I have to say it's nice that they didn't try to rehash their old songs or try to make their new songs sound totally like their old stuff.

This album rocks, everybody that's heard it (even those who wrote reviews on here) said you have to listen to it a few times before you really get it. It was good the first time I heard it, but now I think it's a great album!

It's not as cheesy and fluffy as most of their old stuff, which I love, but it's good stuff. Even those that hate Europe still can't deny they are great musicians!
I can only recommend buying this album.

They're back and on the right track.......2006-03-17

OK, there are plenty of other reviews about this album on Amazon so I'll be brief there with a few simple for and against points that I feel the need to make.

For;

* This mob are back. And that's gotta be a good thing. They are a working band - you don't put this much effort into an album as went into this one if your not serious. Which is good to see as they were missed and still deserve a niche in todays market place.
* The sparkling guitar work of John Norum. See also my review for Johns latest album Optimus, though it would of been nice to hear those songs sung by Joey Tempest in a band environment. Some of these riffs really crank in a way Europe hasn't for around two decades.
* They can still play and Joey definitely has his voice still. And they do have a bit of a sense of humour, I mean listen to the song Sucker - there is an extra helping of cheese here!

Against;
* It's not an album that blows you away. They didn't really nail it as the heaviness factor disappears once Joey starts to sing and even if he did let rip a bit, well the lyrics are a touch naff.
* Despite a few fun tunes, I couldn't really pick a singe here whereas having been such a huge fan of the band for years, was a little surprising, nothing quite jumped out at me.
* The band still seem a little gunshy - a little too scared to really let rip which would of been great on at least a few tracks, I mean whenever they look at their set list and say to themselves 'hey we need a heavy rocker about here' they are going to have to trawl back to stuff like Superstitious and even that's stretching it, more like the stuff of The Final Countdown album.

A middling release - I hope for greater things in the future from one of the bands that first got me into hard rock.

The Best Melodic Rock Out There!!.......2004-11-04

Okay, to those of you who don't like EUROPE, you're not going to listen to a word any fan says. Not my fault you have minds about as open as a locked safe. To the rest of you who aren't afraid to have your own opinion and have the guts to stand up for the underdog, this is a fantastic album! Joey Tempest is back with that great voice and John Norum is at his best! Not to be left out, John Leven's basslines are sweet, Ian Haugland's drumming is top notch, and Mic Michaeli's keyboards are truly amazing. The songs are everything from a bluesy rock ("Song #12") to light metal ("Flames") to inspirational ballad ("Reason"). Every song on here could be a hit. Also, fans, look for the single, "Got To Have Faith". The enhanced version contains the full-length video! Now get out there and BUY THIS CD!!
