Free Music Notes for Bad For Good: The Very Best of Scorpions
Free Music Review: weak...get "Deadly Stings" instead
Hit: 2 Stars
By my count, this is the fourth compilation of the Scorpions' output on Mercury Records, following the stupidly-titled "Best of Rockers N' Ballads", "Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years", and "20th Century Masters - The Millenium Collection". And that's not including their multitude of live albums and acoustic rehashings of their hits. At what point do these guys think we get it? As with the previous collections (except for "Deadly Sting"), there's a plethora of missing tracks that should be here, including "Can't Live Without You", "Lovedrive", and "Hoilday". And while I can't argue with the five tracks selected from "Crazy World", if you're going to pare down your greatest hits to a single disc's worth, songs like "Hit Between The Eyes" and "Don't Believe Her" can probably be left off in favor of some of those tracks I mentioned earlier. How does that relatively weak album justify getting five tracks here while "Blackout" gets two, "Love At First Sting" gets three, and "Lovedrive" gets one? By far and away the best of their greatest hits albums is "Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years", a two-disc overview that includes virtually every key track from their years on that label. That album also contained two new songs (new in 1997, anyway), but both were pretty lame. The reviews here suggest that the two new songs on "Bad For Good" are quite good, but it doesn't sway my decision. There's no point in getting this album unless you're an ultra-casual fan. Fork out the extra dough and get "Deadly Sting" instead.
Free Music Review: 2 NEW SONGS ROCK HARD
Hit: 5 Stars
Hey, even though this album has any old songs,which I must say really rock, it is worth buying this CD because the 2 new songs are awesome, the SCORPIONS STING IS BACK. So even though you have all the other songs, i recommend this CD, and if you are new to the SCORPIONS, and like hard rock music YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!!!Free Music Review: The two new songs just rule!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, I just got this album, and here's my review about it:I don't wanna say anything about the 16 first songs cos they're not new songs, we all know that those songs are hits and ones of the best of Scorpions! so if you don't know the Scorps, this will really help you know about their music! but what i wanna talk about is the two new songs: "bad for good", and "cause i love you". well, it's been a few times the scorps were talking about a new album coming soon, and that will be a back to the roots album! well, those two songs seem to be samples from the upcoming ablum' style! and this style's just amazing! althought, musically talking, the scorps have released much more professional albums (pure instinct, eye to eye, moment of glory, acoustica), but weren't really rock albums, a bit slower than the old scorps songs, but those two songs really join between the "on the top" music and the ... rock songs! well, if this is the style the scorps are planning for the new album, it will be so good, although the last 4 albums i talked about are the best to me, but this style (bad for good and cause i love u) will satisfy all fans around the world! and still they're not 100% like the old stuff, they really are homogeneous with the new rock music!!! also, about the recording! it just rules! the sound of the guitar is excellent, and also the drums!!!! and the arrangements are so cool (done by dieter dierks), especially on bad for good! thanks matthias for using your voice box on 'cause i love you! i really like its sound! and the way you play on it! keep on rockin' scorps!!!!!! you're just the best!
Free Music Review: Why do I rate such great songs so low?
Hit: 1 Stars
I've always been a Scorpions fan, even from the 70's. I love their music, and this album does contain their greatest hits. If I had this in the CD player, I would never hit the skip. Then why do I only give it one star? Because in the last few years, I've only seen one album with "new" material, and it was the same songs with an orchestra playing with them. In other words, if you're new to the Scorpions, this is a great one to get; if you're familiar with them, then you've had all of these, minus the last two songs, since 1993. Come on guys - get some new material or just retire; we've already gotten too many compilation albums!Free Music Review: Great 80's Metal From Germany's Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you don't own any Scorpions Best Of or Greatest Hits cd's than this is a nice collection to own. If you want to have a more complete collection then you'll have to fork out more dollars for the two cd package called "Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years". This Scorpions greatest hits cd has all their good songs from 1979's "Love Drive" album to 1993's "Feel The Heat". Also included are two new tracks. The Scorpions didn't make much of a dent in rock here in the U.S. until the 80's (although they were popular in Europe and Japan). With the help of MTV with videos like "No One Like You" and "Rock You Like A Hurricane" the Scorpions became a household name. This 24-bit digitally remastered cd sounds great, much better than some other hits cd's i've heard. Fans of groups such as Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC, etc. will love this new collection. Five stars for song selection and sound quality.
