Like this CD? You'll love the DVD!, October 2, 2001
If you like this CD (or maybe especially if you didn't like it) see the excellent DVD!18 great arrangements of Scorpions' classics + three cover versions of Kansas(Dust in the Wind), Queen(Love of my life) and the Cars(Drive). Great video quality, shot with 12 cameras, excellent sound (DTS)! Maybe a good reason to buy a DVD player .....

Something new from the Scorpions, May 8, 2002
Last year, the summer of 2001, I was on vacation. I was looking for new music I could listen to when traveling, and stumbled over this release. I didn`t even know it was out, it just suddenly appeared. I bought the cd, and started listening to it. And boy was I positively surprised. I did expect it to be good, but not to be so great it actually is.
The intimate mood and the special "Non" Scorpions sound make this a winner. A warm and welcome album from the best Rockers in Europe.
It is sort of a combined album. The sound is acoustic, but it doesn`t sound ALL acoustic. It is a special sound, but it is warm and welcome, just like a perfect relaxing summeralbum.
The songs. The songs are well performed, but the tracklisting could have been better. Some of the songs are sweet, and my personal favorites, like the new and Beautiful song "Life is too short", the catchy "The Zoo", the always fantastic "Still loving you" and the mystical and soothing "Send me an Angel". All these songs are the album`s highlight, but "Love of my life", "I wanted to cry(But the tears wouldn`t come)" and "Always somewhere" are great too. The songs that are not so good, would be "You and I", "Hurricane 2001" and "Dust in the wind". These songs are not very good here. Rock you like a hurricane is a great song original, but not stripped down.
(I would rather have songs like "When the smoke is going down", "Coast to Coast" and more classical Scorpions songs, but hey, we can`t get everything!)
Anyway, this album is great. I can`t wait for Scorpions to go into Studios again for another Studio-album, but until then this album will fill the time, along with "Love at first sting", "Animal Instinct" and "Blackout".

Really Like this Cd, July 28, 2001
If you want Heavy Scorpions, this is not the Cd for you!
If your a fan of the Scorps Ballads then go ahead and Buy this one. If you think that Acoustical sets should all be heavy and loud, this your mistaken, Scorps finally have a way of showing us the raw talent of Rudolph and Mathias, and of course Klauss vocals are flawless.
Some new songs and some new versions of old songs of course,
and some delightful suprise covers of a few of the greats like "Dust in the Wind" and "Drive" Both songs respectably done with taste and original depth.
Over all......Scorpions have put together something very original with their talents, and I am very pleased!!
