Scorpions - Sting in the Tail

Decent.

I'm kind of disappointed they aren't doing a Humanity: Hour II but Unbreakable was a great '80s throwback and they say this new album is more like their early '80s stuff, so I'm okay with that too. I just think it's funny that during press for Humanity, Klaus said they were done with that kind of music now the very next album will be '80s influenced!

Humanity was ok, but was a Scorpions album in name only. When the principal songwriters are outside of the band, it's hard to call it a Scorps album. I like Unbreakable better. Either way, always look forward to some new Scorps.

Perhaps someday they will do a reunion disc with Uli.

Scorps always sound good to me. 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, ... they still sound like the Scorpions. that's all that matters to me.

I saw them live in 1997. They put out a great show. I have all their albums. I hope the new one is a return to their heavier roots.

I like their new albums but they're definetely not like the albums from the 70s or 80s. Apart from a couple of dud albums in the 90s, they've been mostly good, so I can't wait for this album.

I haven't heard any Scorpions discs past Crazy World, but if it's any good I'll pick it up anyway.

I love Unbreakable, they tried to be too different on Humanity hour. This new one sounds promising.

This one should be perfect for me because i love the early 80's Scorpions best! I also like the Uli Roth era.

Eh. I loved it, thought it was album of the year. Definitely a darker and modern take, but still sounded like Scorpions to me.

HUMANITY HOUR I was my fave CD of '07. It got me back into the Scorpions again after being out of the loop with'em for a number of years. Looking forward to hearing the new one.

Amen. It was different from what they usually do, but I liked it a lot (even though the title track got really overplayed).

You mean it actually got radio play in your area? Not that I listen to radio much, but I think I heard it twice, if that.

Scorpions are one of those bands where I can't think of an album they have done that has really let me down. I like everything they have done; all eras. Glad to hear there's a new one on the way. Peace.

What an album title! Scorpions - Sting in the Tail 201269

Well the album title should hopefully further support the band's statement that it is an album more like their 80s work. Of course, they could've designed the cover art to be more controversial, as they did with their most famous works and beyond.

I'm not much of a fan of latter day Scorps. Humanity: Hour 1 wasn't bad, but I doubt I would've paid for it (I got a free promo copy from work). This new one has a nifty looking cover, but I'd have to be pretty "wowed" with the first single to investigate any further.

I haven't really liked this band since the mid-90s. Maybe this album will help me change my mind.

I'm a casual Scorps fan - Unbreakable was a great return to form when it was released. "New Generation" remains one of my favourite Scorp songs. What a riff!

Heart of Metal Number of posts : 1828 Age : 56

I saw 'em on their 'Unbreakable' tour and they still rocked the house (and blew my hearing!)

I like Humanity not quite as much as Unbreakable but there were still some good songs on it none the less....

If this new disc is more like 'Unbreakable' that would be fanatastic....

It's being reported they're supposed to be making a "sensational statement" on TV in Germany today/tonight.

I wonder what it could be.
