A bit better than World Away album (although some songs from it are in the live too). But again, I can enjoy a melody, a riff or a solo, but almost never an entire song, or it's a cover. So that probably explain my total lack of attraction for Norum. I mean, my favorite (that's too much of a word) songs are cover songs.

The guy plays very good guitar, but I'm not fund of his vocals nor the song writing. Most of the time it tends to put me too sleep or even give me headaches. Again this is a reprint of the original 97 live.

The guitar solo is pretty impressive and very nice to listen to. Which puts my mind in a state of chaos, because with such talent, a guy like him could do much better than this if you ask me. It's not the worst band around (certainly not !!!) but its millions of miles away from what I call good bands too. But that's a matter of taste I guess. Let's just say that Norum's music has nothing or not much in common with Europe (his former band) and that's a pity, because if you ask me I miss good old Europe songs.

For Rock'N'Roll or Norum's die-hard fans only... I guess.
