Release Year: 2001
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: melodic hard rock / heavy metal
the biggest heavy rock explosion [1986] of the eighties comes out from Sweden - these ten tracks have basically caused the immense arena rock and metal popularity in the country and overall Scandinavia, which is still an ongoing process; timeless melodies and hooky choruses are the core of its bombastic punch, that keep sentimentally hitting hard and kicking major fuckin' arse, as powerful with the most popular tracks as with such memorable gems as Cherokee or On The Loose!; recent edition is updated with a digital sound remaster by Joseph M. Palmaccio at Sony Music Studios in New York, liner notes by Diarmuid Quiin, and three live bonuses recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon, London in 1987
