Sueds Europe outfit in 1986-87 became well-known in our backward and low culture
countries such as Greece, Turkey or former Yugoslavia from "The Final Cownt Down" hit song of these days,topic of this song is about some space trip in the future and circumscribes spacecraft's take off while and feelings and thoughts about this interplanetary astral journey, due to the fact that, inhabitants and citizens of this european teritory did not know English dialect well, nor were able to comprehend song's lyrics,they catch the instrumental melody part of it,as a ringtone,as West European mark rhythm similar to their top oriental local songs, so "Final Downt Down" transformed to a rock signal and used as musical carpet and jingle to radio football shows or basketball tv shows due to was potential and pretty, and as it was repeated daily making its influential brainwashing, and began known to ignorant orientalists and rough hooligans as sonic mark at broadcast sport's spirit.
Europe have more than 10 albums unfortunatly are aged enough , most of the early years are in hair metal air, and hearing in a little seems like from Nazareth to MC5 or some parts from Deep Purple up to Genesis ,of worse start Purple's kind.So regarding of aging can't make songs about chicks and erotic excuses or making dates with models and mannequin queens with long legs and blue eyes,or driving mad in the freeway some vehicle with 100 milesPH, and among others not anything great but from their old good listeners none going to cheer up in such hard rock to listen up , so time has come for them to look for some serious act, and deep highbrow-themed disc but not anything extra radical, but corny social considerations which though as it's setting to music becomes more dramatic. they intend to do something like Syd Barrett did ,or Roger Waters made once ,or Robert Fripp and made some topics like King Crimson's start era,means that!!, they dont chase fame more,nor want more to be celebrities like Bret Michaels (Poison) or Tommy Lee,or Nikki Sixx (Mottley Crue). FULL OF ANGER SONGS: these are (nr 02) The Siege, and (nr 07) GTO, and (nr 08) Haze, beggining with (track 02) that's an Up Tempo in strong rhythm, not as running the power metal however tough potent guitars keeping the threatening style in prolonged pace as emphasize choruses regards following repression topic is about destruction of the environment ,how did constructions developments and finance interests approach the " oppress " due of that we all forced to participate in it as part of the problem. As for (track 07): "GTO" is a break out song, guitars riffing dynamically,syntheseiser keeps song orchestrical and pretty performing , it sounds like Jon Lord's Hammond B3 sonic air reminds Steppenwolf on purpose, theme regards some fast vehicle and how beautiful main character feels ,mentions in lyric's, feels to drive fast in full speed . (track 08) "Haze":It's rhythmbeat is somehow Up Tempo and comes out, like listening to some cover from once upon a time Iron Butterfly "akada-da-vida" clima, the chorus says "Come Into The Haze" intoxicated, the horny guitars comes out vintage aggressive and threatening (perposely) same as Blackmore's in Deep Purple days,as fact says we all diped in a decay air. THE PSYCHEDELIC HIT: is the song (Track 04) "Pictures"! its a slow tempo, a grandioso rigid melancholic composition where centerpiece is the piano, while guitars are hidden behind , the beloved glam metal frontman and Sunset Strip member J.Tempest acting Sid Barret as in 1967 was in a sceptic and intellectual mood ,the composition is stinking Pink Floyd as well as Genesis copying, pure theft ,these kind whimperer songs were named ballads in the 80ties ,and ..!!!--Warning--this track is a follow-up and and sequel to the old super-hit "Final Countdown", in a way responds to what was after regards all these folks who were flew to Venus.
Tempest (with a little help from the others) wrote all songs.
Who is this Dave Cobb in the role of producer,...anyway in this album he charges the chair of producer.
The band choose to make something like the americans "Sons Of Liberty", or something like "OSI" (Office Of Strategic Influence),Or something like "Fates Warning", acting the radical band with liberialistic topics.
