Sobre el álbum
La compilación 1982-2000, publicada en 1999 (el título es algo confuso), es un resumen muy completo que abarca desde los inicios de la banda hasta el final de su primera etapa. Este trabajo es una oportunidad para apreciar la evolución de Europe, desde sus orígenes en el hard rock hasta su confirmación como estrellas del pop-metal. De hecho, el disco también incluye el que fue su último éxito antes de su separación.
La selección de temas es muy exhaustiva. Incluye todos sus grandes éxitos de los 80, pero también joyas de sus primeros álbumes que a menudo son olvidadas en otras compilaciones.
El álbum contiene la canción "Sweet Love Child", que fue grabada para la banda sonora de una película en 1992, así como otros temas de su último álbum de esa etapa. Es una de las antologías más completas.
'1982-2000' es un documento imprescindible para entender la primera y más legendaria vida de una banda que, años después, demostraría tener una segunda y muy interesante.

- In the Future to Come
Letra
So many tears ago the people on this earth They were laughin' They didn't think of anything else Than love and peace But generations failed to see That they were causin' Trouble for the future They didn't know that one single war Would continue to increase But I'll be beside you 'Cause I want to hide you I'll cover my pain Or I'll gone insane Oh Lord where will it end When tomorrow is done Oh Lord can we stop to pretend That we can survive in the future to come As long as you can see As long as you can feel There's no cause for alarm As long as you can touch As long as you can more It ain't too bad But one day or another This world would maybe Be destroyed forever A holocaust maybe be spread And drive us all mad - Seven Doors Hotel
Letra
Four hundred years back in this time Seven Doors Hotel A massacre took place and a young man died Opened one gate to Hell The Eibon is open use your eyes To read and learn In the end it could be your turn 1981 traces were found That could not exist in one's mind A woman could lead you totally deceive you Without your knowing she's blind Seven Doors Hotel One of seven gates to Hell Seven Doors Hotel One of seven gates to Hell Do always watch out for things That you see but don't understand The Devil is there always somewhere Ready to command - Stormwind
Letra
I like to sit beside the fire When the light is going down I like to hear the wild wind blow outside my door I have so much left to remember I have so much left to forget And I know I just don't have to search for more But you want to change my world Stay out of my life Storm wind, you're just like a wind Comin' to drag me away Storm wind, what can I say I just don't want you to stay I like to walk around in dreams at night And play with kings and queens 'til the morning light I like to wake up in the morning unaware Of the fact that you are calling me To ask me if I want to be Someone who you could love and always care for - Open Your Heart
Letra
Days filled with joy and days filled with sorrow I don't know just what to do Am I happy today, am I lonely tomorrow Everything depends on you I've been waiting for the angels to knock on my door I've been hopin' that everything could be like before Open your heart and tell me what's wrong Why can't you talk like you used to do before I don't know if I'm weak, I don't know if I'm strong Hey girl, I can't cope anymore I've been waiting... Open your heart, let me hear you Make up your mind, I want to hear you call Open your heart, want to come near you Make up your mind, oh girl, before I fall Maybe the sun will continue to shine Maybe the rain will continue to fall Maybe you want to leave me behind Maybe you'll change and give me a call - Scream of Anger
Letra
I won't live to see tomorrow There won't be another prayer None of them will ever sorrow Those who've sentenced me to death I've been waiting here for ages For the hangman to appear (the hangman to appear) Soon the priest will read some pages From the Bible for my fear I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay Oh no I feel like screaming out my anger There is so much left here to do When it happened I was younger And my destiny was you I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay And what can I do about leaving you We were only halfway through And what can I say, there was no other way They wouldn't let me stay - Dreamer
Letra
He is down by the riverside Late one night He's tryin' to count the stars In each of the signs All alone by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts of the past And maybe he'll cry So they say he's a madman And he don't understand But I know that he's tryin' hard To act like a man All those years he has suffered, My friends All those years of pain But I don't think he knows for sure If those years were in vain He's a dreamer And he's fightin' for his life He's tryin' to understand He's a dreamer But he wants to carry on Yet I know he's a lonely man - The Final Countdown

Letra
Little Jeanie cried, she believed in all his lies So much for being good, oh. Johnny did not rest he did what he thought was best, He did the best he could. Don't try to see the world in different ways Those moments and all those days. Don't let them faint away... On Broken Wings I guess that's how you'll have to fly Two broken hearts... Across the sky Now he's feeling bad His heart is cold it's oh so sad Somehow he did her wrong, yeaheah Little Jeanie's heart Is melting fast oh so fast. Now she feels so strong Don't try to see the world in different ways Those moments and all those days. Don't let them faint away... On Broken Wings I guess that's how you'll have to fly Two broken hearts... Across the sky... Don't try to see the world in different ways Those moments and all those days Don't let them faint away... On Broken Wings I guess that's how you have to fly Two broken hearts... Across the sky... On Broken Wings I guess that's how you'll have to fly Two broken hearts... Across the sky... On Broken Wings I guess that's how.. how you have to fly Two broken hearts... Across the sky... - Rock the Night
Letra
I've gone through changes I've gone through pain But there's not enough reason for me to go insane I know the feeling, when it grows I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes. You know it ain't easy Running out of thrills You know it ain't easy When you don't know what you want. Rock now, rock the night 'Til early in the morning light Rock now, rock the night You'd better believe it's right. I know my limit Just what it takes When things ain't good enough I just pull the brake Sometimes it's easy Sometimes so tough But just have one thing clear I can't get enough. - Carrie
Letra
When lights go down, I see no reason For you to cry. We've been through this before In every time, in every season, God knows I've tried So please don't ask for more. Can't you see it in my eyes This might be our last goodbye Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again I read your mind, with no intentions Of being unkind, I wish I could explain It all takes time, a whole lot of patience If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain. - Cherokee
Letra
They lived in peace, not long ago A mighty Indian tribe But the winds of change, Made them realize, that the promises were lies. The white man's greed, in search of gold Made the nation bleed They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn. Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. They were driven hard, across the plains And walked for many moons Cause the winds of change, Had made them realize, that the promises were lies. So much to bear, all that pain Left them in despair They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn. - Superstitious
Letra
Keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I´m not superstitious I'm not superstitious, I have no doubt That there's a reason, how things turn out While things are changin' from day to day I'll keep this feelin' with me all the way And I want you to know That you're on my mind Every day, all of the time So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious There might be times of wonder When I'm on my own Tryin' to find out if love has gone It might make a difference It might bring me down But no superstition is gonna turn things around And I want you to know That you're on my mind Every day, all of the time So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious So keep on walkin' and we'll make things right Yeah, keep on dreamin' each and every night We're gonna make it, that's what we'll do Right to the end girl, we're gonna walk on through So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious - Ready or Not
Letra
Ready or not but I waste no time I'm headin' out with some friends of mine Holdin' on to what we've got Oh even if we're ready or not Ready or not but they're back in town The word is out that this time around They'll be lettin' go with all they've got Oh even if we're ready or not Rock me til I hit that floor Rock me til I take no more Rock this hungry heart of mine Rock me down right to the ground Rock me like you never done before Then rock me just a little more Ready or not but for all I know We'll be hangin' on til it's time to go We're always there with all we've got Oh even if we're ready or not Ready or not but I waste no time... Rock me til I hit that floor... - Prisoners in Paradise
Letra
I want to learn how to fly I want to be respected I want to get lucky I want to get out of this dump I just want to watch TV I want to be loved I want to be different I want a brother and sister I'd just rather be forgotten I want to save the world I want to be understood I want to be rich Man, I just want to be somebody Julie's got the word today She lost her job just one last pay Life don't come easy anymore Still strugglin' on by herself Got a picture of Jimmy There on the shelf And she looks at him and says Why did we let it go I know that sometimes baby We didn't see things eye-to-eye But I got just one question Did we have to say goodbye Just like prisoners in paradise Still far from heaven's door We had it all but still we Wanted more Now I realize that I can't Turn back the future's here To stay but hey We're just children of tomorrow Hangin' on to yesterday Jimmy still recalls the night When he took his guitar And headed on out To find the big time That was his dream He gave up his past And made it alright But there's something missin' In his heart tonight Sometimes what you want Ain't what you need He misses drivin' down To the lake at night Holdin' his baby In his arms so tight Ain't it hard to find illusions When you're livin' in a memory Just like prisoners in paradise So close but yet so far There will come a time No matter who you are When you ask yourself Was it right or wrong For me to turn away but hey We're just children of tomorrow Hangin' on to yesterday - I´ll Cry for You
- Sweet Love Child
Letra
She stands in the doorway In the pale moon shine When she looks at me, every part of me, Brings my soul back to life Eyes like a rainbow They cut right through Oh I'm lost in time All through my mind I'm in love what can I do Sweet love child... I shiver, I shiver and shake It's been a long, long time When she touches me, every part of me Just comes back alive She rides like the wind On a summers night And she gives and takes In the love she makes Sweet Love Child She makes everything so right My sweet love child... By the light of the morning Like an angel's sigh I can feel her breath Lying next to me With the world locked outside I can feel A taste so sweet And she gives me love All the precious love It makes my life so complete So sweet - Yesterday´s News
