The ninth studio album that defined the golden age of the Scorpions, a West German hard rock/hard rock album that was a worldwide hit.
A2's "Rock You Like a Hurricane" was a hit on the Billboard pop chart, and the album was a huge commercial success, solidifying the Scorpions' empire.
This album was a huge hit, surpassing the success of their previous album, "Blackout." It was recorded digitally, a rare technique for early hard rock/heavy metal, resulting in a crystal-clear sound. The impeccable twin guitars of Matthias Jabs and Rudolf Schenker create a perfect balance of catchiness and heaviness throughout the album. The monochrome, erotic artwork by German photographer Helmut Newton also catches the eye.
