Love the cover! It really shows that this is a hardrockalbum with guts. And is it? Well, some of the songs are big arena-favorites and I have always liked this album. But if you relly listen to the songs they are very simple and not very variating. Since my musical taste has changed and developed through the years the old hit-Scorpion-albums don't touch me that more like they did in the past. But it's a good and rocking album, no dout!

During the recording of the album Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal chords and the some vocals were recorded by Don Dokken. The album reached nr.10 on the Billboard-list.

1)Blackout (8,0) Great start. A live-favorite.

2)Can't live without you (8,0) Good rocker but the refrain gets repeated too much.

3)No one like you (8,5) Superstrong refrain and another good song made for the big arenas.

4)You give me all I need (7,5)

5)Now! (8,0) A crazy oozin' rocker!

6)Dynamite (7,5) Another furious rocker.

7)Arizona (7,0)

8)China white (6,0) Like always, they have a kind of strange song on the album, and this is a slow and heavy version of that. Not the best I've heard.

9)When the smoke is going down (8,5) Wonderful ballad.

Score: 7,67
