4.0 out of 5 stars Still Scorps, March 31, 2000

Yes this is a mellower version of the Scorpions, but true fans will still get into this album. I started listening to the band when I was 15, I am 35 now, as we have all changed so has this band. A look at the front cover should tell you that this is no longer a young man's band. I like the German cut Du Bist So Schmutzig (You are so dirty) and the song Eye To Eye dedicated to the dead fathers of Klaus and Rudolph is touching. There is enough rocking on the album to keep me intrested (Prisilla and Aleyah) but this album is not like Blackout or even Crazy World, it's a more reflective version. It is good makeout music, my wife grew up like me on a steady diet of Scorps and she appreciates some mellow tunes at last. Good album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorpions show their ability to change with the times!!!, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Eye II Eye (Audio CD)

With this album, I have read the comments of previous reviewers, and it seems that people either love it or hate it. The Scorpions have shown that they have the ability to change with the times, and have put out a fresh, lively CD. They are returning to their German roots with Du Bist So Schmutzig, which rocks! (not in the same style as Rock You Like A Hurricane, but it still rocks!) The Peter Wolf influence can certainly be heard on this release, particularly on To Be No.1, which is very catchy, and IMHO one of the better songs on Eye II Eye. Mysterious and Aleyah are also catchy, great tunes. As previous reviewers have stated, it will disappoint a lot of fans of their headbanging days of the 80's, but then again a lot of the die hard Scorps fans will appreciate their ability to adapt. The song Mind Like a Tree sounds reminiscent of their 80's metal days, as does Aleyah. There are some songs you'll want to skip to get to the meat on the CD, but if you buy this CD with the advance knowledge and expectation that this is not the same old Scorpions of the 80's and 70's, you won't be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay far away from this if you only like the "Old" Scorpions, September 8, 2004

What in the name of heavens where they thinking??!! Ok, they have the right change their music but really this is a bit extreme, there are some songs here that Madonna could have used for her albums. Of course you'll find one or another good track but all in all this album really sounds too popish.
Just when you thought that Pure Instinct really fits with the worst Scorpions' album gold medal, here comes Eye II Eye to take the medal away.
