 Listen At First Sting Is More Like It!!
I first bought this album when I was 14 in "84. The first song I played was "Rock You Like A Hurricane" and "Big City Nights". I was at a loss for words when I heard these two songs. I remember playing them over and over again. This made the whole record sound great. If I were to rate this it would be 100 stars.

 Want 80's metal? This is the stuff.
Along with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and a few others, the Scorpions are right up there with the best Heavy Metal bands ever. Love at First Sting is one of my favorite albums because it has a rare mix. It has hardcore metal riffs that so many of us are in love with, but also depth in sound and lyrics. If you want an example of 1980's Heavy Metal, it doesn't really get much better than this.

 Fantastic end of an era
In retrospect, had all of us known what was to come at the time, I think we would have all appreciated this last of the truly great Scorpions productions even more than we did (which might have been impossible). The overwhelming brilliance of the big tracks (Bad Boys Runnin' Wild, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Coming Home, Big City Nights, and perhaps the best rock ballad ever done, Still Lovin' You) that propelled Scorps into the popular and commercial rock stratosphere speak for themselves. Less noticeable and more regrettable is the mediocrity of the remainder of the tracks. While still decent, they are an obvious step down in quality not seen previously from Scorpions. It signalled from an artistic standpoint that Scorpions had reached their pinnacle of creative expression. Given that they had been producing at a top level for almost a decade and were spending most of that time touring the world at a frantic pace, I suppose it was inevitable at some point. Nobody likes to see the beloved hero fall, and Scorps took their first faltering steps with tracks like I'm Leaving You, Same Thrill, As Soon As the Good Times Roll, and Crossfire. Where are the catchy rhythms, driving energy, climaxing melodies, and the tight, sparkling riffs? With only a few exceptions, you have to go back to the early years of Scorps to find anything this artistically bland. All that said, LAFS is still a hallowed classic and a must-have for any serious hard rock fan.

 Scorpions introduction to mainstream radio !!!
I personally dislike this album because this album introduced our german friends to mainstream rock radio. The album was great in a musical sense, but led to the eventual downfall of the Scorpions. The album is very powerful because they use their studio time wisely. Not as good as the Uli years but worth listening to
