 The initial triptych, composed of the energetic “All or nothing”, the explosive “Halfway to heaven”, and the superb ballad “I’ll cry for you” is anthological.

 The title track borders on plagiarism of the Beatles’ “Let it be”, further shaking the artistic credibility of the Scandinavians.

Europe's 1991 album Prisoners in Paradise showcases a blend of melodic rock with strong AOR influences but struggles with inconsistent quality and production choices.
