Movie Reviews of Europe: Rock the World
Movie Review: Absolutley Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this dvd a couple years ago. I had been in search of at first a VHS home video from these guys of their video's, then my search went to looking for it on DVD, and one finally came out. I bought it the minute I seen it and have not regretted buying it. I watched it everyday, it was a normal routine I had. I don't watch it everyday now, but it goes in the DVD player atleast once a month. I had also bought a second one, just in case I wear this one out.
I love the music video's and the extras to a point, the interviews are all in Swedish, which I can't speak so I am at a loss on what is being said. Anyway, buying this DVD you also get to see the video's from Prisoners in Paradise (like some one already mentioned in their review), anyway, I do remember seeing Prisoners in Paradise on MTV, but not Cry For You. So you do get a little surprise.
This DVD is a must have for any Europe Fan!!!

Summary: 4 Stars
I can honestly put my hand on my heart and say that I've not listened to the album The Final Countdown for yonks (yonks is Australian slang for a long long time). And let me just say that the video clip for both the title track to that album and Rock the Night have aged.... very badly indeed! Watching this for the first time was hoot. This is how hard rock really was for a number of years in the 80's. Funnier still is that Europe did it better than most back in the day and as I write they've reconvened and put together a string of darn fine albums of modern guitar driven rock that are better than most of their competitors.
But I digress. This DVD release is one of a spate that have come about due to the bands regeneration and the centrepiece and real reason to buy this album are the ten video clips. Even in the bands hair daze heyday many of these were pretty rare visitors to the TV screen in my native Australia and it really is handy to have proper quality versions of all these clips. Of course the collection only included their triumvirate of ...Countdown, Rock the World and Prisoners in Paradise albums but I'll take `em where I can get `em.
Other curios are to be found in the bonus material. There is some live footage and a clutch of interviews. Now unless you are a Stockholm housewife reliving her wanton youth you probably won't want to watch the TV interview stuff more than once and it would be great if the band were able to present this old footage - it would humanise it and take away a bit of the cheese factor. And really what this release would really benefit from is a booklet inside. I mean, c'mon guys, this is supposed to be something of a career retrospective up until the end of the bands first incarnation isn't it?
At 90 minutes this collection doesn't outstay its welcome, but rather does what it says on the tin. For more extensive live footage of course I'd like to direct you to other releases and notwithstanding the limitations I've mentioned above in relation to the bonus material I have no qualms in giving this collection the four star seal of approval.
