Not the Scorpions you know and love,
By
This review is from: Lonesome Crow (Audio CD)
When the Scorpions come to mind, we generally associate them with the eighties "power rock" period, during which time they scored most of their hits. What most people don't know is that the band was actually formed circa 1965, in Hanover, Germany, and they had released at least six albums prior to the eighties. Their debut album, Lonesome Crow, was released in 1972. Read on for more info.When you start this CD up, you'll be asking yourself one thing: "Is this REALLY the Scorpions?" Surprisingly, the answer to that question is yes. The band obviously had not yet found the sound that would deliver them worldwide fame. There is some obvious Black Sabbath influence here. Another interesting note - Michael Schenker (later of UFO and the Michael Schenker Group (MSG)) plays on this album! After this album he left the band for UFO. However, his brother Rudolf plays guitar on EVERY Scorpions album, this one included. It's pretty cool to have an album where the two brothers play together. But, like I said, this definitely isn't an album for the "Rock You Like A Hurricane" crowd. It's a good album, but you'll need to listen to it with a very open mind. Final verdict? This is a good album, but it's hard to find in stores. Due to the fact that it's hard to find, and that the radical difference in sound may turn off casual fans, I recommend it to true fans of the band only. Another reviewer called this "one of the most underrated albums of all time," and being a fan of the band I can agree with that. Like I said, It is a good album, but it's more for true fans than anyone else.

Lack a Certain Sting...,
By
This review is from: Lonesome Crow (Audio CD)
When I first heard Lonesome Crow back in 1990, I thought it was quite possibly the worst album I ever bought.My stance has softened somewhat in recent years, I have friends who quite like this album after ingesting certain intoxicants. Personally, I think the album is redeemed by the axework of Michael Schenker, but otherwise this is not even close to the Scorpions you love. This is a hippy-dippy jam-rock band through a German lens. The songs meander along lazily, and never really get moving. The only track that I truly love is the opener "I'm Going Mad", the reason being that Klaus really shreds his vocal cords on it. "In Search of the Peace of Mind" isn't bad either, it's a slow dramatic one. Other than that...nope, I'm sorry. Buy it if you're a Scorpions fan, and if you are, you probably already have a soft spot in your heart for this album. If you haven't heard of any of these songs before, there's a reason. 2 stars.
