Free Music Notes for Acoustica Album
Free Music Review: Interesting, but weak.
Hit: 3 Stars
Acoustic albums by rock bands normally give us the opportunity to listen to normally electrified tracks in a new fashion. But the Scorpions choose to play mostly their ballads (of which they write WAY too many), which sound almost identical to the original tracks. For those of us waiting for the Scorpions to come to their senses and put out a solid hard rocking album, well, we will continue to wait. But it seems the band has permanently gone into a much softer direction. The album is not all that bad, it's just not all that good either. Most of the songs sound way too wimpy such as "I Wanted to Cry (But the Tears Wouldn't Come)", the title alone makes me nauseous. "The Zoo", the opening track, is a standout with a good arrangement and rocking groove, but the classic "Rock You Like a Hurricane" sounds incredibly lame, the song does NOT transfer well to the acoustic arrangement. However, on the plus side Klaus Meine's vocals are still in top form and there's an interesting cover of Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" with a more upbeat tempo. In closing, recommended for die-hard Scorpions fans only.
