Eye II Eye by The Scorpions - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Teutonic terrors Scorpions return with EYE TO EYE, their first album for Koch Records. The band retains the crunchy hard rock style that has kept it potent since the '70s and adds a contemporary commercial touch that proves Scorpions are not living in the past. "Mysterious" and "To be No.1" kick off the album, and both may raise the eyebrows of longtime fans. These excellent tunes contain beats and loops-a first for the group. The latter is the first single, with a video spoofing the Clinton/Lewinsky affair.

The slower groove of "Obsession" is primed for radio airplay. "Mind Like a Tree" shows the group trading its lightning fast licks for a more plodding, Soungarden-ish feel. "What U Give you get Back" is an acoustic number showcasing the fine vocal talents of Klause Meine. The album closing "A Moment in a Million Years" features Peter Wolf on piano, another sign of maturity for a band labeled as heavy metal its entire career. EYE TO EYE rocks hard while venturing into uncharted pop territories. Scorpions keep current without selling out, and veteran fans will have a newfound respect for the band after multiple listens.
