Album Review
Blackout was the Scorpions' first majorly successful album, due to its clever balance of pop/rock (the title track), power ballads ("When the Smoke Is Going Down"), and catchy heavy metal ("Dynamite," "No One Like You"). Vocalist Klaus Meine had a throat operation prior to the record's release, and surprisingly, his voice sounds more melodic and lively than ever. The rest of the band sounds great as well, and the album is highlighted by the fast-paced performances of guitarists Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs. Blackout has arguably been called the Scorpions' best record ever, and that statement is not unjust — it has more energy than anything else they have ever released.
Customer Reviews
The Best
The only truly great Scorpions album from start to finish - tight, powerful, full of energy, well produced and hits you right between the eyes. It absolutely explodes with Blackout. After this the band started a slow descent into somewhat lifeless, formulaic music; before this there were too many weak songs. Diehards might say the Scorpions ceased to be interesting after Uli Roth left. I think they were far sharper for the first few albums without him. If you want a great early 80s hard rock album this would be an excellent choice. As for the All Music Guide review - this in NOT pop rock.
