Hour I

i was wondering if this one could top unbreakable. and i am happy to say it is not as god, but not worse as it. so happy to have two great consecutive records from the germanics

we were born to fly, the marvelous humanity, love is war, love will keep us alive, the future never dies ... it is packed with great songs although the first one, Hour I is a bit weak for my taste

good record, strange cover, it could only be a ufo or scorpions record :-D

of course my edition is the japanese one :)

9/10 great record

love at first sting

an almost perfect melodic record. i did not like still loving you the first time i heard it because all the people seemed to like it. now i do. but this is not only the record of still loving you but a bunch of more good damn songs: bad boys running wild, rock you like a hurricane, i'm leaving you, coming home, big city nights, and the criminally underrated crossfire ... so this record rules!
it is melodic and very accessible, and i guess most metal fans, when a record is accessible, think, no! i do not like it! well, let's freedom do its own. the real thing is that klaus and rudolf compose great and the scorpions as a band performs really well ... so ... :-)
seen them in the unbreakable tour and it was great, just missed coming home

10/10 brilliant

Pure Instinct

Scorpions from 1996. It is a great record. The one which turned my faith in the Scorpions, as i only found them a good group but just above the average.
But as Unbreakable in 2004, Pure Instinct is complete. Sadly :-( no songs from this one where in 2004 Unbreakable tour, one of the concerts i remember with great joy.

Wild child opens the album, and as all the songs in this one it is filled with great hooks and melodies. Great start. Also continuing with But the best for you.
Does anyone know is the first mid tempo semi ballad. Very nice one.
Stone in my shoe is maybe the hevier, but not necessarily the best for me, maybe it would be the worst song in the record.
Soul behind the face and Time will call your name are soft mid paced songs, and then we come for the big ballads. When you came into my life. Instant hit which i liked since first listening.
You and i is the other one, and was my by then girlfriend who liked more than i, a great song anyway.

Are you the one was another heart soul ballad as only scorpions know how to do it. I agreed with one friend, long time ago, this was areally nice one. Es la bomba! (Marticorena said :-)

My favorite song maybe is When the river flows, in which i do not know why, but it touches me very deep. :-)

Kiss of borrowed time is a bonus song which comes in the single when you came into my life.

The Scorpions had their sting back with this one.

10/10 brilliant.

Unbreakable

2004. Scorpions. Unbreakable.
The first record i loved really from Scorpions was Pure Instinct. After it, i went to embrace Love at first sting. But after the strange eye 2 eye, which i did not like it at all, they released this one. I waited until next year when i saw in ebay the japanese version, and got it.

By the way, the concert from the Unbreakable tour was incredible, i finished exhausted since the place was packed and in the middle of the summer it was all screams & sweat, with difficulties in breathing ... I guess i am getting older. :-S Anyway i managed to finish only 4 rows behind the 8th one which was where i began. Just missed comin' home and rythm of love. All the others got inside the set list :-D
New generation, love'em or leave'em, deep and dark, blood too hot, maybe i maybe you and through my eyes... (all inside except the piano ballad, which is very nice, but perhaps does not suit in a concert... ) great, another great record to my collection ... I was really a bit nervous about what could i find, but they managed to give a nice surprise, since the composition of the songs are great. Typical good scorpions stuff.

9/10 a must buy.
