The history of one of my all time favorite bands Scorpions begins as early as 1965! Rudolf Schenker played guitar and also sang on the beatinfluenced music they played in the first years. In 1970 Rudolf's younger brother Michael and vocalist Klaus Meine joined the band leading to "Lonesome Crow" being released in 1972 followed by a tour where they supported UFO. During the tour Michael accepted an offer to join UFO instead and Scorpions called in Uli Roth to take over Michael's parts. The band split up and later Rudolf joined Uli Roth's band Dawn Road, a band that took the name Scorpions since the name was already known in Germany.

This album is really only psychadelia and progressive heavy rock popular at the time, not much of the later hardrock that they would develop to play later on. But I really like this album, I love progressive rock and hardrock and these songs are among the better albums of the kind from that area, that's for sure. It's heavy, have some nice playing, good production and great vocals along with interesting music.

1)I'm going mad (7,5) Psychadelic mexican rhythms with talked vocals. Unique!

2)It all depends (8,5) Very cool bass- and drumdriven song with some crazy guitarwork. Reminds of "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath.

3)Leave me (7,5) Spacy psychadelic and calm, sounds like pornomoviemusic interupted by nice inferno at the end.

4)In search of the piece of mind (6,0) It doesn't get much more psychadelic than this! Charming crazyness and sometimes melodic.

5)Inheritance (7,5) Smooth and gentle.

6)Action (7,0)

7)Lonesome crow (9,0) A truly remarkable progclassic! It has all the elements of a good progger; 13 minutes long, variated themes, up-tempo and slow, good guitarplaying, spacy and crazy but all the time with the melody present.

Score: 7,57
