No biggie, I was thrilled about an early review of the album. Perhaps there will be one in the next issue. In the meanwhile, the track list length was revealed, check Google for more info

Well, this is a bummer. There's no Walk The Earth album review in this issue of the magazine, only a review of The Final Countdown 30th Anniversary Show. Ricardo, are you sure about your friend?

Hmm, maybe it's 'Sunshine is a metaphoric ride' Guess we just have to wait for the official lyrics.. Or maybe 'Sunshine in a metaphoric rite'... As I like to think that it represents the religious symbolism of the migrant crisis around the world, and that's what my ears want to hear

I'll just leave this here... So what's your point? Sorry but I think you don't get me.. Sorry, but you're way off track with every following statement. Let's enjoy the song and not bother other members on this discussion anymore.

...I really think they have to be carefull not to repeat themselves too much and become predictable. In that way I still don't see it as a smart move to work with Dave Cobb again. ...I hope I'm wrong but judging by the first single I have a feeling that Walk the earth will be a War of kings part II in more than one way. I'll just leave this here...

Well, yeah, I think we can all agree that we're lucky to have the band delivering great music on a regular basis. The rest is up to one's taste.

Yes true! But it doesn't on the other hand mean we're not allowed to be critical about their output of course!!!! I don't disagree strongly on many things, but not thinking critical about whatever it is is so wrong. I mean, I have so few things not to like about this band, but that doesn't mean I should be in constant approval of everything they put out. Again, to each of his own, but you guys sound hypocritical when calling out on not repeating the same pattern of songs, while agreeing on not being critical. Just saying.

Variety of tastes, which is cool, and I will stop there on that. I think working with Dave again is the right choice, since he can bring the dynamics and the spirit of the band out on the table. As a big Rival Sons fan, I may be biased a bit about Cobb, but he's a major factor in their musical style, and Europe chose to work with him cause he sees/hears things differently than other producers. The final product will be better this time around, and I'm fine with hearing an upgraded version of WoK, as long as it resonates with more dynamics and strength. Remember one thing though, Europe always like to point out that they're doing things their way since the reunion, so many of the people who are waiting on the new stuff to take a musical trip back to the 80s glorious days are ought to be disappointed.

First impression: it's a good song, although this one has to grow on me a bit more. I also think they should be careful not to repeat themselves too much, cause I saw that riff/drums/tempo coming from a mile away during the intro. But! It's catchy and I like the melodies and Joey's vocals a lot. The song has some interesting "hooks" to it. The chorus is great! I'm pretty siked to hear the rest! It has a groove, which can't be said about songs like The Second Day. You're kidding right? I think Second Day has an awesome groove... I don't feel the groove as much as I do on other tracks. It has a great lyrical content and some solid musical flow, but the average 4/4 roaming through without any significant transition doesn't make it a standout, and it's obvious that people don't dig it much, especially live. Don't get me wrong; I like the song, but that type of mid-tempo stuff goes pretty much unnoticed. A mid-tempo stuff like WtE, WoK and LLaE, having some serious 'thump' gets you warmed up and ready to roll!
