Scorpions / Blackout (1982)

One of the best albums that Scorpions have ever recorded. This album was their breakthrough in the U.S. market. "Blackout" is one of these albums that you can't go wrong. Every track here is super, well written songs, amazing guitar work by the duo of Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, a couple of radio-friendly hits and a huge success for Scorpions. "Dynamite " is one of the heavier tracks in this album, "No One Like You " is the big hit of "Blackout" and a classic Scorpions tune while "When The Smoke Is Going Down " is a sensational slower one and one of my favourite Scorpions songs. The rest of the songs are perfectly balanced between heavy rockers and mid-tempo/ballads. All in all this is a great record and a must have for every hard rock fan out there!!
