(30 Customer Reviews)
The Scorpions' latest studio outing comes on the heels of their triple-disc career retrospective, Box of Scorpions. For fans who view that box set's third disc -- mostly material from the mid- to late '90s -- as a meandering collection of wince-inducing ballads and orchestral experiments gone awry, their latest offering should come as a huge relief. Their celebrated talents for big licks, bigger choruses, and simple lyrics about world unification and "rocking you" are remarkably well executed on Unbreakable, their 20th studio album. The production strikes a winning balance between mid-'80s excess and tight nu-metal guitar, resulting in one of the heavier records they've done in quite some time. Singer Klaus Meine's voice has aged gracefully, retaining the raucous snarl that fueled hits like "No One Like You," while attaining a rich, fully rounded cadence on the beautiful new ballad "Maybe I Maybe You." Unbreakable was recorded live in the studio, and it shows on the brutal standouts "Love 'Em or Leave 'Em" and "Borderline" -- the latter being one of the more inventive and memorable of their career. The record acts as a bridge between hard rock generations, and is perhaps the first step in handing over their legacy to the myriad of young bands that have basked in the veteran group's light for so long, but if they continue to make records as lively and skilled as this, that transfer could be a long time coming. ~ James Christopher Monger

Scorpions Unbreakable Songs Unbreakable Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews LET'S ROCK AGAIN!!!! Scorpions play really good rock-n-roll Submitted by MLezhak (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
15 years late Unbreakable comes across as where Scorpions should have gone after Savage Amusement. After stumbling around in several attempts to find a new sound with only one really sound artistic achievement (Pure Instinct), it was about time for Scorps to revisit their roots. They have finally found a way to effectively incorporate artful acoustics and techno-pop into their traditional rock format, resulting in the melodic harmony and driving rhythm that pumps lifeblood for this band. I'm fantastically happy to see they've still 'got rock' after all these years. There are a whole handful of strong numbers on this CD. In fact, there are only three weak songs. The standouts are Love 'Em or Leave 'Em; the synthetically grinding Deep and Dark; the beautifully blended techno-ballad Maybe I, Maybe You; My City, My Town; She Said; and the fist-pumping rocker Remember the Good Times, which should be the theme song for this CD. Just get it, it's a treat! Submitted by Paul (Seguin, TX, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Unbreakable album
$8.49 Unfairly labeled a hair-metal band, Tesla was always closer to the spirit of vintage 1970s hard rock. When the group released 1994's BUST A NUT, grunge rock was in full swing, and the Sacramento quintet subsequently took their curtain call, keeping busy with low-profile side projects. Testing the waters in 2000, Tesla launched a successful reunion tour, proving the band's enduring appeal. INTO THE NOW stands as their first full-length studio effort in 10 years.
The core of Tesla's sound has been updated with a fresh and contemporary ...
| | Dokken Hell To Pay CD (2004)
Unbreakable CD music
$8.69 Singer Don Dokken and drummer Mick Brown may be all that's left of the original Dokken, but the group's signature blend of pop and heavy metal has changed little since their late-'80s heyday. The problem is, they were never that interesting to begin with. On Hell to Pay, the role of ex-guitar legend George Lynch is played by ex-Warlock axe slinger John Levin, and the departure of original bass player Jeff Pilson brings ex-Ted Nugent and Yngwie Malmsteen collaborator Barry Sparks into the fold, resulting in a record that's impeccably played but mediocre at best. Levin brings an elegant, almost Middle Eastern sense of melodicism to the promising opener, "Last Goodbye," and an old-school bluesy swagger to "Haunted," and Don Dokken's voice has settled nicely into a smooth lupine growl that complements ...

| | Dio Master Of The Moon CD (2004)
Unbreakable songs
$9.99 There's something about a post-millennium album cover that features a giant blue-horned minion of Satan in pre-pounce with an illuminated crystal ball in its leathery hand that simply warms the soul, and the fact that it adorns a record called Master of the Moon can mean only one thing: Dio. Unlike many in the aging metal community, Ronnie James Dio still possesses the same powerful voice that fueled the genre through its late-'70s and '80s heydays, and the reigning dark prince of Elfdom and two-time Black Sabbath frontman is still capable of writing a killer song or two. MOTM resembles earlier works like Last in Line and Sacred Heart in its ability to buffer those one or two great tracks with seven or eight forgettable ones. Luckily, it's the first one out of the gate, "One More for the Road," that packs the biggest wallop. Similar in attack to classics like "We Rock" and "Stand Up and Shout," it sets a breakneck ...

Dickinson once again collaborates with guitarist and producer Roy Z, with whom he has an almost telepathic relationship. ...
