5.0 out of 5 stars But your life is rock n' roll.., November 29, 2001

In 1975, Scorpions released their 3rd album, which helped establish them as THE premier European hard rock band. Featuring the classic Ulrich Roth lineup, the LP featured a perfect combination of slow, intensely emotional ballads and loud screaming rockers. An example of the former would be the title song, which not only is the best known song from the record but along with "We'll Burn the Sky" (from Taken by Force) is the best example of what would be a Scorpions standard- the power ballad. For headbangers, there's "Dark Lady", "Top of the Bill", "Longing for Fire" and "Robot Man". Roth's playing is extraordinary and he will always be the Scorpions' guitar god. His singing however is lousy, although Klaus bails him out during "Dark Lady". "Sun in My Hand" could have been so much better without Ulrich's brutal delivery but still a solid tune nevertheless. "In Trance" is well worth searching out and stands up reasonably well against most of their 80's sellout product (except for "Blackout").

5.0 out of 5 stars Turn it on, turn it up, rock it out!, July 25, 1998

This is the Scorpions at the peak of the first phase of their careers. This album proves that they could rock hard with the best of them, as well as lull you under the spell of some extremely accomplished heart-wrenching ballads. The playing and vocals are faultless; the songs come at you one after another with Beatles-esque perfection, leaving you gasping for more once the album's over. There's no point in mentioning highlights, as this whole record is a rollercoaster ride of pure hard rock energy. Classic is not the word - the Scorpions have bestowed upon us an collection of top-class songs. Most tracks on the album have appeared on any number of their greatest hits collections, and that must mean something. If you're out for some early teutonic commercial heavy metal that's fun to listen to and catchy as hell, then check out this, as well as any other of their early to mid-period albums (try 'Fly To The Rainbow' for a more progressive feel, or 'Trance's successo! r 'Virgin Killer' for an even heavier assault on the senses). At any rate, this is superior stuff your ears will thank you for.

4.0 out of 5 stars All praise due to Ulrich Roth, October 21, 1999

I sure wish the Scorps had never lost Roth. What a master of the ol' six-string. If you want to discover where some of today's best guitarists got "it" from, listen to this album. "Top of the Bill" and "Living and Dying" are pretty silly, but the rest of the disc is HOT. It's too bad they lost it soon after...
