Less brutal than the two previous albums, this one is nonetheless an underappreciated treat. Sure, there are some weak cuts, but there are plenty of strong ones to make up for it. Among the highlights of the disc are the energetic anthem
"Steamrock Fever"
and the growling song of androgyny
"He's a Woman, She's a Man."
The highlight of the disc, though, is
"We'll Burn the Sky."
This one is lyrically quite similar to the
Blue Oyster Cult
classic
"Don't Fear the Reaper,"
but the music is a wonderfully building anthemic
ballad
. It is arguably one of the finest songs
the Scorpions
have ever done. ~ Gary Hill
