With their first new release in 7 years, Scorpions back with an album that is well worth waiting for. Promise shown from the lead single Rock Believer carries over into the whole album. Another long delayed album originally scheduled for around 2020/21 but pushed back due to the ongoing pandemic messing with recording sessions etc it's worth the wait. The opening track Gas in the Tank gives a mission statement for the entire album. "Let's play it louder, play it hard / Laid back and little dark / Give me a dirty riff, my friend / There's gotta be more gas in the tank". Only downside is them pricing it at £14 for a CD as a more realistic price might have seen it chart.

I get this falls slightly outside the demographics here but seriously nobody's got anything to say on it? Here's the lead singles....

 

Finished up at No 18 on the albums chart, which is a bit disappointing to be honest.

I think you’re probably right about the first bit, not many threads get made on here for pre-90s band’s new work.

 

Alas that sort of rock isn’t really my thing either.
