Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Definitive Collection' was released in 1997, Europe had already established themselves as prominent figures in the glam metal scene with hits like 'The Final Countdown.' This compilation arrived after a period of lineup changes and a less favorable reception for their earlier albums in the mid-'90s, marking a moment of reflection on their past success as they sought to re-establish their presence in rock music.
- Stylistic neighbors
