A record of infinite beauty... Last studio album with Roth on guitar... Tracks like "We'll Burn the Sky" and especially "The Sails of Charon" make you wish they would never end!! Deadly and amazing riffs... A masterpiece!

Scorpions: Love at First Sting

19 apr 15

A gem of Heavy Metal... With an album that includes tracks like "Rock You Like a Hurricane" (with that extraordinary riff), and "Still Loving You" (one of the most beautiful ballads ever), you can't give less than 5... But the record stays at a high level throughout its entirety...

I adore all their albums from Lonesome Crow to Lovedrive; here we are already in the early '80s where I prefer them less. However, I really save this one and it's a great one, for me their last album that truly deserves it. Smoke, then, I think is the best hard-rock ballad ever or almost...

Lonesome and Fly are the most experimental of the band (First period), then once they found their way they just made great albums, meaning whichever one you pick, you can't go wrong (like I go crazy for Taken)... But I don’t get Hell, don’t you appreciate "Love"? Okay, they were already in a more melodic hard/heavy phase at that time, but I don’t believe you can't appreciate an album like that! For "Smoke" I partly agree with you, I mean, it's a great ballad, but not the best...

Love at First Sting has never appealed to me, too 80s in sound. Better before...

...too 80s...

What does "too '80s" mean? The '80s produced great albums, as well as some masterpieces, just look at 'Operation: Mindcrime' and 'Rage for Order'. Enough with this nonsense about plastic '80s, it’s completely false.

I believe Hell means that the album sounds different, meaning it doesn’t resemble the Scorpions of "Virgin Killer" or "Taken by Force," just to name a couple...

It clearly sounds different without Uli Jon Roth.

I just wanted to say that their '80s tracks have never really blown me away, at least since Blackout. I find them quite repetitive, the usual Rudolf riff, the usual stuff... they were much better in the '70s, a different sound, that's all. I have nothing against the '80s; I love Maiden, Metallica, Guns, Priest... but when it comes to the Scorpions, I prefer the period with Roth or Michael, more diversity in the songs. For example, I absolutely adore the live album Tokio Tales, while World Wide Live does nothing for me. It's just a matter of personal taste, of course.

One of the best albums by the Scorpions, without a shadow of a doubt. The title track is of unique beauty...

Screaming Trees: Sweet Oblivion

18 jan 16

The extraordinary thing about the "Screaming Trees" is that they've made so many fantastic albums that every fan has their favorite record... Some prefer "Buzz Factory," some "Invisible Lantern," some "Uncle Anesthesia" or "Dust," and some, like me, prefer "Sweet Oblivion." A perfect album, where by the third track you've already come in your pants! "Shadow Of The Season," "Nearly Lost You," and "Dollar Bill" drive you mad, and thankfully the album doesn't stop at the third track! Immense!

I agree with you, this is the best. The first 4 songs: Shadow of the season, Nearly lost you, Dollar bill (I cry every time), More or less... well, these alone would have been enough...

"... by the third track, you came in your pants."
And just think, my favorite is the fourth!

Also "More Or Less" Zanna, without a doubt... I repeat their definitive album, for me!

Screaming Trees: Buzz Factory

A word often misused in the world of music is "masterpiece." Sometimes that term is used correctly, sometimes not, and in this case, perhaps it doesn't do justice enough. Epoch-making Screaming!

It's strange that SilasLang hasn't stopped by to comment yet; I'll just say that it's one of the best albums by the Alberi Urlanti.

Screaming Trees: Invisible Lantern

The album of ultimate consecration that kicked off an incredible series of records... Memorable "Grey Diamond Desert," exceptional the title track and then "Direction Of The Sun," "She Knows," "Ivy"... What else to add?? (4.5)

Skid Row: Subhuman Race

10 aug 16

An album that can be considered their "Motley Crue" or "Native Tongue"! It wasn't very well received by fans, perhaps because of its "harshness," but today I believe everyone has reassessed it. A perfect mix of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal with devastating tracks (My Enemy, Face Against My Soul, Beat Yourself Blind...) and perfectly executed ballads (Breakin Down, Into Another...). Unfortunately, it was the last album with Sebastian Bach on vocals...

Skid Row: Slave to the Grind

4 sep 15

One of the best albums of the 90s and of Rock (in this case Metal) in general. "Monkey Business," the title track, "The Threat," "In a Darkened Room," "Psycho Love," and all the other tracks deserve a more detailed description, but for me, the peak of the album is reached with two ballads... The immense "Quicksand Jesus" (just the title hypnotizes you) and the extraordinary "Wasted Time" (with a Sebastian Bach at his best)... An album to listen to and re-listen!

Soundgarden: Superunknown

10 mar 16

Slightly inferior to "Badmotorfinger" (but just by a hair) in my humble opinion... Tracks like "Fell on Black Days" (my absolute favorite by the band), "The Day I Tried to Live", "Limo Wreck" (I mean, Cornell goes wild in this one), "Mailman" and all the others like the underrated (by some) "Black Hole Sun" make this album a masterpiece of the 90s (and beyond)...

In my opinion, the best album by the band... "Rusty Cage," "Jesus Christ Pose," and my favorite from the album "Room A Thousand Years Wide," just to name a few... What an album, guys!!!
