I only came across this little gem this year, and what a pearler it is! I know that every band and their agents all have tribute album out for them these days, but they aren't always good, and they aren't always a respectful tribute to the original.
This has some really great updates on the Scorpions originals. Coast To Coast is given a slight overhaul by Disbelief, Is There Anybody There is updated by Rough Silk, while the top of the pile is the brilliant fast, heavy version of Still Loving You by Sonata Arctica – I still can't get over what a magnificent job they did with that song!
The Scorpions were a real influence on European, and especially German, metal in the 1970's, and no doubt most of these bands grew up on them, and it tells in their efforts to put down the best versions of these songs that they can.
Rating : An excellent Tribute album that delves into the classic Scorpions music. 4.5/5.
