“I’ll cover my pain, or I’ll go insane”
This kind of stately Euro metal should be right up my street but In The Future To Come, the track that kicked off Europe’s career in 1983, doesn’t quite cut it for me. The regal riffing and ripping solo are impressive and it’s very melodic and listenable. But for all its proficiency, it’s just a bit too naïve and mild-mannered for my liking. When I listen to this kind of stuff I want blood and thunder. FIRE! Yowww. In The Future To Come doesn’t rouse enough of that manly passion for me to rate it as anything other than mildly pleasing.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
I’ve never heard this one. I wouldn’t mind adding it to my Europe collection if I find it on vinyl. I loved the next album!!

I think you’d probably like this more than I do. It’s 40 years old now so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some kind of reissue in the pipeline.

Mildly pleasing indeed. Its a bit decaf for my tastes.
