Free Music Review: A Classic Must Have!
Hit: 5 Stars
Solid hit by the Scorpions following 'Animal Magnetism' and 'Lovedrive.' This album is just great German hard rock from the 1980s from one of the best bands in that genre along with Def Leppard. Every song on this album is just a classic hit thanks to brilliant musicianship and the outstanding lead guitar work by Mathias Jabbs: simply one of the most underrated lead guitarists from that period who is just as impressive as Randy Rhoads in his style. Just listen to the rythm and lead on the title song! 'Dynamite' is another hit! Great stuff! Also, don't forget to get out your lighters and raise your hands as Scorpions is the model hard rock band for your power ballad with the hit 'No One Like You.' Just as creative and moving as the later hit 'Still Loving You.' Again, Mathias Jabbs just delivers an excellent solo on this one. You can't go wrong with this album or any album by Scorpions except those following Love At First Sting which was their last good album.
Blackout Poster
German heavy metal marauders Scorpions recorded seven studio records before breaking in to the U.S. market in 1982 with Blackout. The album became the group's first platinum disc in the U.S., and the dynamic single "No One Like You" became a staple of album rock radio. While the Scorpions had created powerful anthems and epic rockers in the past, Blackout mixed the ingredients just right. The title track was an endorphin rush of fast-riffing guitars and electrified, high-pitched vocals that culminated with the sound of shattering glass. "Can't Live Without You" was a powerful melange of flash, firepower, and pure melody, and the slow, surging "China White" sounded like a psychedelic interpretation of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." After years of ignored visas, Scorpions had finally arrived in America. --Jon WiederhornPop Music CDs
