5.0 out of 5 stars Beware Of The Alien Nation!, April 2, 2006

By 

Joy (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews

Just sample that Alien Nation track and tell me that it isn't rock/metal! This is REAL rock people! The music itself for Alien Nation totally kicks ass and the melody is mind blowing!

No Pain No Gain is another awesome rocker where everything just comes together perfectly! This is awesome metal here!

Ship Of Fools is another masterpiece which features an Opera singer!

I love all Scorpions albums and this is no exception! All these songs are just as good as all their other stuff! Awesome lyrics, awesome melodies, just awesome music!

The whole CD is rock and it's worth it for the Alien Nation song alone which has one of the most awesome guitar solos and hooks ever! Any Scorpions fan needs this CD in their collection, it's a must have!

3.0 out of 5 stars An OK scorps effort, July 28, 1999

By 

Michael J Harrington (Phoenix, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews

OK - Scorpions have been around forever, but it seems that heavy metal years equate to more than the likes of 'Rolling Stones' years! Give em a break!! There are some strong songs on this, although I must admit that it is not as good as 'Crazy World'. Forget the 80's Scorps - they are finding their way in the awfully confused 90's, where if you are not alterna-trash or thrash, you get lost. As a loyal fan since 'In Trance', I still give this a thumbs up to Klaus and the gang. Their piledriving sound still makes me feel good, and hey, what more does one need when it comes to poppin on a hard rock CD? Room for some new ideas (OH, bring back the HM creativity of Lovedrive, pleez) - yes. But not a CD to miss if you still like the icons that are SCORPIONS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Face the 90's!!, November 20, 2005

By 

ScorpionSting "Dynamite" (Oss, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Their second CD in the nineties and it rocks just like Crazy world. Much heavier then the 70's and 80's. My favorites are: Unholy Alliance, Hate To Be Nice, Taxman Woman and Ship Of Fools. The other are good as well. But the combination of Matthias and Rudolf is better then with any other album. But I dislike Ralph Rieckermann, Francis Buchholz was much better. But it doesn't take away the fun of the music, here's my tracklist rating, keep on rocking!!!:

Alien Nation: 8/10
No Pain No Gain: 9/10
Someone To Touch: 9/10
Under The Same Sun: 9/10
Unholy Alliance: 10/10
Woman: 10/10
Hate To Be Nice: 10/10
Taxman Woman: 10/10
Ship Of Fools: 10/10
Nightmare Avenue: 10/10
Lonely Nights: 10/10
*Destin: 9/10
*Daddy's Girl: 8/10

*= Bonus track.
