John Norum is Europe's former guitar player. If I'm not mistaken he left the band after the Final Countdown (what a mistake !!!).

He plays old time Rock'N'Roll with some attitude and although he's a good guitar player, his songs tends to annoy me. I can find a good melody here and there, a good soli, but most of the time I'm just bored to hell with heard a thousand times Rock'N'Roll tunes. I don't know if it's the vocals or the "bluesy" feeling attached to the song, but something is driving me away from these songs.

This is no new album, it's a reprint of a 1996 album. I never heard his music before but I think I didn't miss a thing. Probably only for huge fans of Norum or die-hard Rock'N'Roll fans, the others should better avoid it as it's very specific (and if you're anything like me very boring too).
