"Worst" of the Scorpions

[Mr. Vengeance]

This will be the last one for a bit, just to get them cleared out. I don't want to jam up the forum with one after another.

For me it's a slam dunk- Savage Amusement. I SOOOOO fucking hated this steaming pile of dogshit!!! After many great albums, and two smoking albums in Blackout and Love at First Sting, this fucking joke of an album came out....I DESPISED IT!!!! The only other time a band that I really loved put out as shitty a record, after a a number of good albums, was Krokus when they released Change of Address.

Choose the one you want, but I'm telling ya- Savage Amusement was the worst!

[Tiki-Tom]

Eye II Eye sucks real bad! Their worst by far.
It's so far away from the classic Scorpions sound.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

I quit buying from "Worldwide live" (1985), but I got a copy of "Unbreakable", which really is no good.
Not a fucking track to save!
So as I don't know what they did in between, IMO it's that one, by very far.

I liked Love At First Sting, but it created a monster that ruined the Scorpions. The record companies just wanted the hits and took away all of their creativity IMO. Then Wind Of Change really sealed their fate.

[Terry]

Toss-up between Winds of Change, Rhythm Of Love and that atrocious cover of The Who's "Can't Explain".

I'd rather listen to the cover of the Safari's "Wipe Out" off Hermann "Hermann Ze German" Rarebell's solo album than any of that shit.

I fuckin hate "winds of Change", awful song.

But if we're talkin albums, I'd have to say Savage Amusement.

Not good, not good at all

"Shit sandwich"

Really? Unbreakable?

I think that is one of the best albums of the 21st Century thus far. Its classic Scorps, but with something a little darker/heavier thrown in the mix.

Oh, well, each to their own.

[binnie]

Thinking about it, The Scorps are pretty consisitenly good aren't they?

I would say that they had one of the strongest catalogues overall for any band.

Anyone else agree?

[Shaun Ponsonby]

If you discount the 90s...then, yes.

[Douglas T.]

WINDS OF CHANGE hands down ...


However I like SAVAGE AMUSEMENT! Don't Stop at the Top, Passion Rules the Game ... LOVE ON THE RUN goes off!

Would you say that their 90's records were awful??

Not great, but I wouldn't say awful....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Eye II Eye?

Face The Heat?


Let me think...yes.

[binnie]

I actually don't hate those records - not up to former glories, but I wouldn't call them awful.

might be another agree to disagree moment.....
