sounds really good from this! anyone got a copy? i'm tempted buy one this lunch..
-
Yeah, I've got it. It's really very good indeed, in the classic Scorpions manner. Lots of corny anthemic rockers, several great cheesy ballads ("The Good Die Young" is brilliant).
We're not talking Lovedrive/Animal Magnetism/Blackout/Love At First Sting quality, not quite, but it's by far the best album they've done since Crazy World (not including Humanity: Hour 1, which was great but very "different").
-
listening now. first are impressions are very similar to yours philly. its not their best album (at least so far) - but very good indeed!
might post some more later, but it seems a worthy final scorpions album
-
only thing to add now I've finished the album is that its the Scorpions we know and love :)
thnx for the reply Philly!
-
It's a pretty amazing return to form, considering they've had nearly 20 years of so-so releases (and Eye II Eye, which is absolute garbage!).
-
my favourite scorpions albums are still 'tokyo tapes' and 'crazy world'.
i think i will listen to scorpions albums this afternoon at work :)
-
I think mine are World Wide Live and Fly To The Rainbow, believe it or not. But the "big four" and the other Roth albums run them extremely close.
-
Blackout is number 1 without a doubt - not a duff moment on it
Love at first sting & Lovedrive close runners for 2nd place
Taken By Force
Tokyo Tapes/World Wide Live /Live Bites
Savage Amusement
Humanity Hour - v different but very coherent
Virgin Killer
In Trance
Animal Magnetism
Face the heat - if only for Alien Nation
Crazy World
Unbreakable
