The end of one era for the band, and the beginning of another. After the departure of Uli Roth it was rumoured that Michael Schenker would be joining the band. He did contribute solos to the album, but it was the unknown Matthias Jabs who become the new guitar player. There was a different vibe to the music as well, with the more way out trippy tunes being phased out for a more hard rock heavy approach.
Another Piece Of Meat was the heaviest thing the band had done up until this point, with a great solo from Michael. Coast to Coast was another track with a solo from Michael, and unusual for the Scorps was an instrumental. The best track on the album is the opener Loving You Sunday Morning, a great riff and groove with a really tasty solo. There are some really dodgy moments as well. like the reggae of Is There Anybody There which is not great and does not work (for me anyway). Holiday the part-ballad part-rocker would be the track that would do well for them, especially in the US. Of course it was all up and up for the band after this album with Animal Magnetism and Blackout doing really well for them.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
