Suffice to say, that's a far cry from innovative heavy metal like 'Sails of Charon' or even 'Pictured Life' from the group's earlier albums, though the intention is clearly very different, since the Scorps were trying to make universal music. Following on from mega-hit 'Rock Me Like a Hurricane', 'Wind of Change' would go on to sell 14 million copies, making it the highest-selling single by a German artist. And, frankly, Scorpions did a good job to make several of those songs. I know the point of this album (and the preceding couple) was to unite fans around the world in the glory of rock and make them all sing to the same song, that much is clear. ![]() So, is the music shit? No, not really, but it's just so dry, like high quality crackers with nothing on top. Crazy World - in case you needed to ask - is definitely a part of the "permeating" era of the band. Scorpions are one of the most important rock bands of all time, yet there was only about a decade when they actually influenced much new music and a great deal of their later life when they were merely permeating the same old hard rock without coming up with much good. How's that for crazy? Considering that their recorded output dates back 46 years, some degree of change must be accepted throughout that lengthy career, though sitting at this end of it I feel it's a pity it had to happen as it did. ![]() ![]() Scorpions are almost as old as The Beatles.
