Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs exhibit excellent dual guitar riffing that coalesce together into instant hooks. Scorpions combine some modern elements with a menacing synthesizer and loaded by the locomotive riffing reinstalling the signature sound of the band. The very opening of the next track “ Seventh Sun” will strike you with the loud gigantic riffs juxtaposing the fierce drum sound. The song reminds me of their hit ballad “ Is There Anybody There” and part of the song has a pulsating section of Pawel Maciwoda’s bass guitar. The vocals of Klaus Meine touch lofty heights where his full range of warm and catchy anthems are evocative whereas the semi-reggae-like grooves are awash by heavy bouncing guitars. Songs like “ Shining Of Your Soul” contain some beautiful melodies that only these guys can deliver. The second half of the album delivers a volatile mixture of emotions and solid hard rock song structures. “ Rock Believer” has the introspective muse of the past and it goes without saying that this is easily Scorpions‘ best output since the 2004 album “ Unbreakable”. There are a lot of riffs that are reminiscent of albums like “ Love at the First Sting”, and “ Blackout” and you can expect nothing less than contagious melodies, grooves, and memorable vocals. With emotionally packed vocals and catchy hooks, this song brings many memories from Scorpions‘ classic era. Riffs ride the ether and sail to the edge of the rainbow bridge. For instance the track “ Rock Believer” shows the band’s unique style of playing heavy metal. The musicianship is balanced by catchy hooks and sharp guitar riffs but it’s not all about that. Mikkey Dee has brought the dirty attitude of Motörhead into the songwriting, and ongs like “ Knock ‘em Dead” capture the glamour of Scorpions 80 era. Scorpions are still gifted in crafting catchy songs and they can still rock you like a hurricane, every moment seems is loud and powerful as the band delivers outstanding performance. Next is “ Roots In My Boots” bursting into anthemic vocals, infectious choruses, and the riffs are damned heavy with lots of tempo changes the sensational energy gets quite addictive! The slew of riff mania brought a combustible mixture of flaming melodies and scorching solos that will remind the old fans of their amazing flamboyance. Klaus Meine‘s vocals are soulful charismatic and packed with massive rocking riffs, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs provide a piece of the action with such outstanding consistency. The opening track “ Gas In The Tank” explodes in a fiery blast of sharp solos and the badass drumming by Mikkey Dee captures the ears. Onboard, we also see Mikkey Dee (ex- Motörhead, ex- King Diamond) (drums), and Pawel Maciwoda (bass guitar) bring a full zeal of energy. Despite being in their 70’s, Rudolf Schenker (guitars), and Klaus Meine (vocals), with Matthias Jabs (guitars), show an impeccable spirit of crafting heavy tunes. “ Rock Believer” is the 20th album that reflects on the prime sound of these German rockers.
