Lonesome Crow
by Scorpions

On est loin de certains titres gênants des années 80. Bon chanteur, bon guitariste. Les compositions qui se veulent épiques manquent quand même légèrement leur cible.

Debut is proggy and trippy totally different from most subsequent releases it has some strong moments and although not essential worth a listen.

This is the best album of their career ???

Interesting how on a few tracks, his singing is similiar to the Rival Sons.

Fantastic debut album

holy crap, krautrock? wha-what the heck. This is miles better than their over-commercialized, glossy hair metal crap.

A rather forgettable start for a band that would go on to much bigger and better things

One of the biggest metal bands in the world, Scorpions has had streaks of memorable albums and songs. Sadly, their beginning is not part of those streaks. "Lonesome Crow," the first Scorpions album, is a psychedelic prog rock debut that fails to live up to the epicness it tries to give. Lacking in lyrics at times (even for a progressive album), the only thing memorable is Klaus Meine's vocals which can make you forget the music and walk into the realm of Meine's unique sound. However, that only happens when he sings. As an attempt at prog, most songs are 80% instrumental or higher, and they usually fail to keep up talent. Still, it's nowhere near terrible, and I recommend it only for die-hard Scorps or prog fans.
68/100
