From the opening notes, the music surges with an epic intensity, perfectly synchronized with the film’s gripping visuals of the USS Missouri slicing through the waves. Its bold, orchestral swells and driving rhythms capture the raw adrenaline of the story, making it a quintessential companion to the high-stakes action unfolding on screen.

Inspired by a comment in a Rick Beato video on albums with great sound, this album was referenced in a comment (not the video).

I remembered Jennifer Warnes sang the famous Time of My Life with Bill Medley, so this album from her may be good...

And four songs on, the sound is quite transparent, clear and quite a treat - when you don't have to keep up with all the notes (as in complex technical metal bands/albums)... [Update: Heard the entire album eventually.]

This album, Famous Blue Raincoat (1987) is a Leonard Cohen tribute album... Her sixth studio album.

Great to discover non-famous/popular music from famous/popular musicians.

(Hope you get the meaning behind these clumsily put words... Like consciously focusing on Europe's songs Danger on the Track and other songs in the album over the massive hit The Final Countdown.)

Do enjoy!
