This review is from: Love at First Sting (Audio CD)

I know that the Scorpions' albums from the mid 1980's aren't universally loved, and that longtime fans in particular were not pleased by the band's crossover into more radio friendly territory, but for those of us who discovered the Scorpions in the mid to late 80's, these are the albums that define the band's sound.

1984's Love at First Sting is without a doubt the best example of the Scorpion's arena rocking 80's sound, and is without a doubt my favorite Scorpions album. With a timeless rock anthem in "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and an unforgettable ballad like "Still Loving You", the platinum-selling Love at First Sting brought the Scorpions the large-scale success they certainly deserved. Those are the two biggest hits from the album, but the rest of the songs on Love at First Sting are just as impressive. Whether it's the catchy hooks on "I'm Leaving You", "Crossfire" and "Coming Home's" sense of drama, or the party rocking "Big City Nights" and "Bad Boys Running Wild", Love at First Sting was an unforgettable mix of West Coast party rock and precision European heavy metal.

If you were going to hand someone one Scorpions studio album to introduce them to the band, it's got to be Love at First Sting. It's the definitive 80's Scorpions release, and about as flawless an 80's rock/metal album as you'll ever hope to find. If you're any kind of 80's rock fan, your collection will never be complete unless it includes Love at First Sting.

NOTE: The 2001 EMI reissue of Love at First Sting features absolutely AMAZING digitally remastered sound. It's a dramatic improvement in sound quality over the original and is worlds better than even the 1997 remaster. Even without bonus tracks, the improved sound quality makes replacing your older version totally worthwhile, no matter what the price.
