europe / The Final Countdown (1986)

The ultra-memorable key intro of the title song kicks things off ,solid chords break through on "Rock the Night," "Ninja," "On the Loose," and "Love Chaser". Along with the title song, the other huge hit for the band off of this release was the super-ballad "Carrie." Tempest's voice has some of the more special qualities to be offered from the '80s metal scene. 9/10
