Album Review

Barry Weber [allmusic.com]

Although the Scorpions had already achieved fame after 1982's Blackout, Love at First Sting brought them their biggest single of the decade, the slick anthem ''Rock You Like a Hurricane,'' with some greatly underrated songs to back it up. The album opens with the hair-raising ''Bad Boys Running Wild'' and continues with songs such as the memorable ''Big City Nights'' and the half-ballad, half-powerhouse rocker ''Coming Home.'' The record also contains what just may be the band's best ballad ever, the tear-jerking ''Still Loving You.'' Considering the fact that it has some of their best-ever singles, Love at First Sting is definitely a must for all fans of the Scorpions.
