<p>I'm just digging around catching up on some stuff I missed. Love the Scorps, I would put them in the hard rock genre. If any of you have ever seen Klaus Meine in concert, he will pierce your eardrums! These guys put on a great show! Seeing as I have better taste in music than RJ, the Scorpions would make my list of faves & this is great album, regardless of airplay & overexposure.</p>

<p>So, 6 replies here, one on Facebook. The final opinion is that the Scorpions are not metal (5-2).</p>

<p>By the way, I'm pulling bands off of a Top 100 Metal Bands list on <a href="http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_metal-art.html" target="_blank">digitaldreamdoor.com</a>. Click the link to see the list. The Scorpions are #26. </p>

<p>Not metal, in my opionion. Hard rock, melodic rock, but not metal.</p>
<p>And I disagree with Niels. "Blackout" is a great album. So is "Crazy World". This one featured here, and others, are not great, but very, very good. The greatest hits release from their early years, when Uli Jon Roth was lead guitarist, is also fantastic.</p>
<p>Even though I like this one, "Lovedrive", "Animal Magnetism", and one from around 2003 or so, called "Unbreakable" are better for me. But this is still good. I…</p>

<p>Best Cuts besides the Mtv hits...</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bad Boys Running Wild</strong> is still very solid! Would've fit very nicely on Animal Magnetism or Blackout as well.</li>
<li><strong>Coming Home</strong>. Love this style of Scorpion tunes.</li>
<li><strong>As Soon as the Good Times Roll</strong>. Always liked this one, still sounds fresh to me!</li>

<p>Yessir, my little bitch, especially during the 80's & 90's 'cause that's what sold. The early stuff is quite good, especially the Schenker albums and even eearlier "experimental" stuff like "Virgin Killers". With this album, they seemed to go for sales and then it began a downward trend with them. That's my opinion, of course.</p>

No, Scorpions are not Metal. They are hard rock as my master Jon says.<br/>
<br/>
I bought this album back in '84, and it was okay, but not great. There have never been released a great Scorpions- album. They are, what I would call a singles-band, or a power ballad-band, right master Jon?

<p>I have to say I think I like that last cover best. Here's the alternate cover for LAFS:</p>
