Customer Reviews:

Great CD!.......2007-02-23

Wow! I didn't think the scorpions had an album like this in them, anymore. Best way I can describe the music is a cross between Savage Amusement and Blackout. One or two songs are ho-hum boring, but the rest are really quite good. A bit more of a modern sound, but the songwriting is reminiscent of the middle of their career. (post uli roth, pre-Crazy World.) Definitely recommend checking it out.

Deadly venom!.......2006-08-30

I got this CD as a gift from a friend and just had the opportunity to hear it today. There have been many bands who have enjoyed success, tried new and different approaches to their music and then returned to their roots. Fortunately, the Scorpions is one of those bands. I distinctly remember this band from the 1980s with their songs "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "No One Like You" and much of the songs on this album match the style of their 80s sound that defined the Scorpions and their style of music. Unfortunately, this album got scant radio play and coverage when it was released. However, do not let the minimal coverage keep you from getting this. Despite 3 songs on this CD I didn't like, this is an excellent album and should be noted as a little-known CD that has good quality rock songs. Kudos to the Scorpions for returning to the heavy metal sound that made them great!

They're back!.......2006-07-16

This is a really good album! If you like hard rock, and good song writing in this style you will not go wrong with this cd. In my opinion this as good if not better then their 80's stuff. I really was pleasantly surprised. Thank you guys!

Best studio album since "Crazy World".......2006-06-12

The Scorpions return with their best compilation of studio work since the release of Crazy World in the 90s. A lot of great songs including "New Generation", "Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em", "Deep And Dark". This is a much-needed improvement over the disappointing "Eye To Eye" album. Pick up this great CD; you will not be disappointed.

Solid Album.......2006-02-27

Firstly, I want to say that I saw the Scorpions this past summer in Tel-Aviv, Israel and they were rocking like they were 30 years old.
Secondly, the Scorpions are one of the unfortunate bands that, due to their immense success of their 80's hits (Rock You Like a Hurricane in particular), they have been stigmatized and forever viewed as solely an 80's "hair band." Pop culture, I love the 80's, etc. have portrayed them in this light so often that people who don't really know their music will simply dismiss them as an 80's band. Little do most people know that the Scorpions started in 1972!! That's almost a full decade before the 80's. They are far from the the 80's image people attach to them. Few bands can go through 3 and a half decades and evolve with music successfully. Honestly, the only bands that have aged well and evolved musically that I can think of at the moment are Rush and Scorpions. So, in short, I salute them for that incredible feat.
Regarding Unbreakable, it is definitely a solid rocker. It's like most Scorpions albums, where the majority of the songs are highly listenable and only few are mediocre. Also, they usually have a song that follows the most over-used chord progression in the history of music - Am F C G. The only reason I dont completely dismiss these songs as highly unoriginal and frustrating is because the Scorpions had an Am F C G song way back in 1980 with Make It Real. So they're allowed to use that chord progression (although they use it too often and eventually they should realize that every single unoriginal crappy band or pop singer that comes out today uses that "safe" progression. It's so pathetic already.)
The highlights for me are Unbreakable, Through My Eyes, and Deep and Dark.
Although the Scorpions definitely have better, more uniform albums, such as Crazy World, Eye II Eye, Face The Heat, Lovedrive, Savage Amusement, Pure Instinct, etc., Unbreakable is a solid good album and I'm happy to see they haven't thrown their hats in just yet.
