A lively, positive take on HINOIチーム’s Super Euro Party, praising its fun, danceable Eurobeat and standout tracks like Night of Fire, Ike Ike, Hey Mr. DJ, Sing Na Na Na, and Emoticons. Notes a couple of weaker cuts (the title track and Sticky Tricky and Bang). Highlights the Italian roots of Eurobeat and encourages checking out the videos. Overall verdict: energetic and enjoyable.
