Europe's Winning Streak Continues.......2006-11-18

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN was an album with serious lyrics married to a slick musical background. On OUT OF THIS WORLD, the lyrics are just as serious, but the music is rawer, featuring more guitars and fewer keyboards. Ron Nevison produced this one, and his expertise shows in the way the CD sounds and flows. The ballads are harder-edged this time around, as are the rockers. Like its predecessor, as well as its followup, PRISONERS IN PARADISE, OUT OF THIS WORLD proves that Kansas-style prog and Ted Nugent metal can coexist successfully in the right hands.

Amazing 80's rock record.......2006-10-05

This is just a plainly underrated record. True, it could have used a little less production (maybe that should take one star from the rating but...), but the songs are, for the most part, amazing. Tempest's voice is at its peak, and Marcello's fretwork is amazing. His blend of melody and shredding in the tasty, finely-honed solos is something not to miss for any guitar fan. I wonder how the record would have sounded, had Nevison (producer) given a rawer edge (and a little bit more space) to Marcello's guitar. The rest of the band sounds pretty tight...although drums are a bit dull at some moments (again, blame it on Nevison!).
Being a long time fan (or "old" Europe and now of their new sound as well), I have to say that OOTW ranks among their best song-collection, if not the best.
For those into 80's melodic hard rock, this is a must. For those not into the '80s sound, check out 2004 Start from the Dark and, soon, 2006 Secret Society.

One of the finest from the 80's.......2006-07-30

You'll find yourself singing out loud all of the songs (if you're an 80's rock fan) . They are all incredibly well written, with smart lyrics. Plus, Kee Marcello will blow your mind with some stunning and creative guitar performance (and consider I'm an Yngwie Malmsteen fan). BUY IT NOW!

Kee Marcello at his peak........2006-07-17

I used to have a cassette tape of this album in 1989 or 90 when I was still a student. The first time I heard "Ready or not", I had no idea what was happening. Marcello's playing sounded like some synthesized stuff. After Hendrix and Jimmy Page, It was too clean, too neat and too fast for any human to play on the guitar.

I won't waste words describing all the songs, people have done that before me. I liked almost every song on this album except for "tomorrow" and "coast to coast". Of all the slow ones, "open your heart" appealed to me, it's got a lovely alternating slow-fast pace which gives it that lovely flavour. To me, this album is even better than Final countdown, frankly I got sick of that song being played over and over again.

This album drove me to purchase my first Boss heavy metal distortion stomp box for my guitar to experiment with the awesome world of distorted guitar.

Something went seriously amiss here.......2006-03-16

Yep, much as I love this band and have copped plenty of flack over the years for doing so, it has to be admitted that the wheels fell off for this one.

First of all it's a total sell out. They wanted to be pop stars and not rock stars. In fact one of the reasons for John Norums departure was the desire of Joey Tempest to target the pop audience. Not a recipe for longevity and the boys should of known it.

Secondly the songs sound like keyboard washed out takes of good songs. There are some hooks in the songs, and some emotion in the ballads though a reworking of ballads from earlier in your career in search of a hit is never a popular ploy with the fans.

More grunt and less soft rock pomp should of been in order. Also not doing the north american leg of the Def Leppard tour would have to rate as one of the worst business decisions in hard rock history......

But this was a temporary low
