Product Description

Album Description

The return of the German Hard Rock superstars! Selling 70-million albums worldwide in their 35 years together, the Scorpions present their first full-length album of all new material since 2004’s Unbreakable. A stunning surprise package is boxed and tied and ready for unwrapping: Scorpions, Germany’s most-successful international music export, are poised to sting once again and are planning a frontal attack on the musical artery of rock fans all over the globe with their new album Humanity-Hour 1. Thirty-five years after the release of their debut album Lonesome Crow, Scorpions believe they have reached a new creative high in their impressive career. And they plan to prove it with the release of album number 21. Even though they have already made music history with hits like Wind Of Change, Rock You Like A Hurricane and Send Me An Angel there is still nothing more exciting than a new challenge, than adding another milestone to the band’s history. Recorded in the band’s hometown of Hannover and in Los Angeles with co-producers James Michael and veteran songwriter Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, KISS).

Album Details

5.0 out of 5 stars Best from Mathias era, May 1 2012
By 
Ce commentaire est de: Humanity: Hour 1 (Audio CD)
Michael's era: Lonesome crow
Uli's era: Fly to the rainbow - Tokio tapes
Rudi's era: Lovedrive - Savage amusement
Klaus' era: Crazy world- Pure instinct
Mathias era: Eye II Eye - Humanity Hour I
This is the best recording from the «Mathias era», they reached another creativity peak on this one. I specially like albums that don't really get you on the first listening but rather grow on you to became addictive.
It's an album with a poetic and melodic line that follows through and that leans (though never in excess) towards sadness or dispair. It really tastes different from anything they created before.

Hour 1 10/10
The Game Of Life 10/10 (They've always been good at first and second songs right?)
We Were Born To Fly 9/10 (bit too long)
The Future Never Dies 7/10(with the exception of «a moment in a million years», piano and Scorpions don't make a good mix)
You're Lovin' Me To Death 10/10 (100% Rudy Schenker!)
321 10/10
Love Will Keep Us Alive 10/10
We Will Rise Again 10/10 (Mathias at his best composing power ever...that's emotion man...)
Your Last Song 10/10 (a perfect song)
Love Is War 10/10
The Cross 8/10 (nice to hear Billy Corgan)
Humanity 10/10 (it grows non stop, why do I feel a taste of supertramp on the chorus...?)

3.0 out of 5 stars slick effort, Sep 1 2010
Ce commentaire est de: Humanity: Hour 1 (Audio CD)
The Scorpions 2007 release Humanity: Hour 1 is a typical latter day effort from this veteran German hard rock act. The album contains songs such as "We will rise again" that have the typical combination of well-tuned guitars and fairly considered lyrics. Lead singer Klaus Meine has a fairly modelated singing style in recent years which he employs here to typical effect. All in all, if a prospective buyer has a fairly good sense of this group's recent efforts, they won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorpions' best release since Crazy World if not best one ever, April 4 2009
By 
M. Todoran (Toronto,Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: Humanity: Hour 1 (Audio CD)
This is my favourite Scorpions album up to date.
Scorpions reinvent themselves here with new updated sound which is darker and heavier while keeping the melodies softer when songs call for it,without being cheesy.
The band sounds really good with thundering drum work of James Kottak and bass guitar Pawel Maciwoda,heavy and melodic guitars by Mathhias Jabs and Rudy Schenker while Klaus Meine vocals stay flawless.
Songs Hour 1,Game of Life,The Cross and title track Humanity stand out,but there is no fillers here,every song is amazing.
Well done Scorpions!
Looking forward to Humanity Hour II
