Crazy World by Scorpions (CD, Nov-1990, Mercury)

The casual listener may only recognize the song "Winds of Change" on this release but let me tell you, this entire cd rocks pretty well. In typical Scorpions style you get outstanding guitar work, great song writing and Klaus Meines' trademark vocals. Although there are a few other Scorps cd's that I chose to play at home first this one ranks right up (in the top 5) of my favorite releases by the band. If you like good hard rock and melodic guitar work then your sure to really enjoy this one!

The cd plays perfectly, even though it has minor scratches and brings back good memories. I decided to buy the cd so that I can stay awake on road trips.

sounds like scorpions of old, good old rock n roll klaus puts his stamp on the cd with his vocals, ruddy and mr jabbs team up to make this one of the best sounding scorpions albums to date..

"For the SCORPIONS too, the wind of change continued to blow. Before the production and release of their worldwide mega seller the Wind of Change CD, Crazy World (1990), their long relationship with Dieter Dierks, the Cologne-based producer of so many successful recordings, came to an end. The very first album to be produced by the SCORPIONS themselves, Crazy World, made in Los Angeles, co-produced by Keith Olsen and featuring the smash hit Wind of Change, immediately became the most successful CD to date. Not only was Crazy World the most successful album, Wind of Change was the worldwide top single of 1991, occupying the N° 1 slot in 11 countries."

LOTS of great songs on this CD. We wore our cassette out so had to replace with a new CD version! These songs bring back a lot of memories and I'm sure we'll wear this CD out in time!

I am a huge Scorpians fan, but this album seldom gets played because of their other cds especialy Savage Amusment. By the time I've played their other albums, its time to move on, so this one seldom gets played. But I am pleased when I do get to play it. Money and Fame is Great! Don't Believer Her plays through my head alot without grabbing the cd. To Be With You In Heaven is another great one. I have Wind Of Change on single. Send Me An Angle is another great one.
So, if the Scorpians wern't so good, then this cd would get played a lot more by me.

I love the 80's rock especially a band like the scorps.They are great writers
their music has depth,some hard,some slow,and some just from the heart.Today's
rock seems to be one tempo,and missing something.I had all their colletion on
cassettes but no cd's so I'm trying to restock it in cd's.If you're new the scorps I suggest buying their music,because the rest of the world know how good
they are.
