Back in the glory days of this band, they released four or five just unbelievable albums, and this was one of them. For a band to be under constant pressure to follow up a great album, and to actually equal or outdo said album, for a stretch of albums, is a remarkable and seldom successful venture, but the Scorpions were able to do so in the late 70's and early 80's.
Scorpions possess a unique sound, through not only the talented musicians that form the group, but the brilliant vocals of Klaus Meine. His voice drives through their great songs on this album, including Blackout, Can't Live Without Out, No One Like You and Dynamite.
However, China White and When The Smoke Is Going Down do drag on a little too long for comfort, which somewhat detracts from everything at the conclusion of the album.
Rating : A really great album, though the final two songs pull down the rating. 4/5.
