After years of writing hook-laden choruses and triumphantly buzzing riffs, this German band finally perfected the formula. A fine mix of poise and passion, Love at First Sting appeals to both angry metalheads and Top-40 aficionados. --Jon Wiederhorn

5 out of 5 stars Gems between the much-played hits.......2007-01-06

Let me preface by saying that I rate according to how satisfied I have been since discovering or re-discovering music that I buy, or, know enough to have a decent opinion from earlier experience with it. If you think you MAY like a band or cd, gotten onto Amazon (which is primo) and listened to the samples for the cd, then you know pretty much what you're in for. Reviews help alot, though. But, reviewers who blast a cd or band for personal, almost political reasons don't help those of us debating to buy based on what we like to hear. Just had to get that out to let you know I'm sincere when I say... this cd is full of really great Scorpions songs. Really great songs period. Sure, many were played over and over on radio, but for good reason. I love the Scorp's, and I appreciate "Big City Nights" as much as anyone, but I've heard it a million times. It's the gems in between that seal the deal on this one. "Coming Home" for instance. Song samples do this one no justice because of how it cuts loose later. "Same Thrill", "As Soon as the Good Times Roll", and the timeless anti-war "Crossfire" are really, really good. I saw these guys 3 times back in the 80' in Chicago. Fun, energetic, loud, powerful tunes; a great stage show every time. The rest of their earlier stuff is exceptional as well. This one, "Animal Magnetism", and "Lovedrive" are essential for those of us who like, or love, the Scorpions.

5 out of 5 stars Their Biggest Sting.......2006-12-22

George Orwell was wrong. 1984 was the year of the Scorpion. The German quintet exploded into superstardom with the release of "Love At First Sting". The album featured three songs that made the Billboard Top 100, and the album itself peaked at number 6 on the Billboard album chart. The phenomenal success of the album sparked an 18-month world tour, which then fueled their second live recording, `World Wide Live'. A small aside: in the summer of 1984, as a 23 year-old music industry professional I had the good fortune to gain access to the Scorpions' sound check in Winnipeg, Canada, where I stood next to the mixing console, shoulder to shoulder with then little-known rock icons John Bongiovi and Richard Sambora, enjoying a fantastic half-hour experience.

There isn't a bad track on this album. From the pure metal of "Coming Home" to the staccato drumbeat in the anti-war "Crossfire", this album has all the melody, metal, and meat that Scorpions fans have come to expect. There is a reason that this was their greatest commercial success - it's a great album, not just as a period piece, but as a wonderful piece of work that has ably stood the test of time.

A small piece of trivia: although Francis Buchholtz is credited for playing on the album, and in fact toured with the band following the album's release, and is in the cover photo, it was Dio bassist Jimmy Bain who did the bass parts while recording the album.

2 out of 5 stars Good Music, Bad Print.......2006-11-07

I am an old Scorpions fan, and always considered "Love At Firts Sting" one of their best albums of latter era. Actually, it's their last album with some original ideas, just like "Flick Of The Switch" was for AC/DC.

I purchased this album when I started replacing my dust gathering collection of tape records made in 80's and early 90's, finally having decided to get some quality sound of my old idols. How great was my disappointment wheh I have heard this CD! The quality is quite similair to what I had on my old tape - low record level, high frequencies are not audible. In short - you've got nothing of Mattias Jabs and Rudy Schenker guitars, quite a little of Klaus Meine voice, which was good back then.

I've heard Scorpions live this summer on private concert in Moscow: they performed mostly the songs from this album, and even given all those years passed, they sounded better.

5 out of 5 stars And I thought they couldn't top Blackout.......2006-07-06

Well... they did. I read somewhere that the Scorps were in the Glam Metal genre. That's ridiculous. They're straight up hard rock. If you're not familiar with Rudolf Schenker's brother Michael, you must check out UFO. Why they aren't more popular, I'll never know. If you're looking for a guitar hero, check out Michael Schenker's guitarwork on the live version of Rock Bottom.

5 out of 5 stars ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE....................2006-04-21

I like this 1 song a lot.........ROCK You Like a HURRICANE. It has great heavy metal riffs. Listen to that song.

5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

After years of writing hook-laden choruses and triumphantly buzzing riffs, this German band finally perfected the formula. A fine mix of poise and passion, Love at First Sting appeals to both angry metalheads and Top-40 aficionados. --Jon Wiederhorn

5 out of 5 stars Gems between the much-played hits.......2007-01-06

Let me preface by saying that I rate according to how satisfied I have been since discovering or re-discovering music that I buy, or, know enough to have a decent opinion from earlier experience with it. If you think you MAY like a band or cd, gotten onto Amazon (which is primo) and listened to the samples for the cd, then you know pretty much what you're in for. Reviews help alot, though. But, reviewers who blast a cd or band for personal, almost political reasons don't help those of us debating to buy based on what we like to hear. Just had to get that out to let you know I'm sincere when I say... this cd is full of really great Scorpions songs. Really great songs period. Sure, many were played over and over on radio, but for good reason. I love the Scorp's, and I appreciate "Big City Nights" as much as anyone, but I've heard it a million times. It's the gems in between that seal the deal on this one. "Coming Home" for instance. Song samples do this one no justice because of how it cuts loose later. "Same Thrill", "As Soon as the Good Times Roll", and the timeless anti-war "Crossfire" are really, really good. I saw these guys 3 times back in the 80' in Chicago. Fun, energetic, loud, powerful tunes; a great stage show every time. The rest of their earlier stuff is exceptional as well. This one, "Animal Magnetism", and "Lovedrive" are essential for those of us who like, or love, the Scorpions.

5 out of 5 stars Their Biggest Sting.......2006-12-22

George Orwell was wrong. 1984 was the year of the Scorpion. The German quintet exploded into superstardom with the release of "Love At First Sting". The album featured three songs that made the Billboard Top 100, and the album itself peaked at number 6 on the Billboard album chart. The phenomenal success of the album sparked an 18-month world tour, which then fueled their second live recording, `World Wide Live'. A small aside: in the summer of 1984, as a 23 year-old music industry professional I had the good fortune to gain access to the Scorpions' sound check in Winnipeg, Canada, where I stood next to the mixing console, shoulder to shoulder with then little-known rock icons John Bongiovi and Richard Sambora, enjoying a fantastic half-hour experience.

There isn't a bad track on this album. From the pure metal of "Coming Home" to the staccato drumbeat in the anti-war "Crossfire", this album has all the melody, metal, and meat that Scorpions fans have come to expect. There is a reason that this was their greatest commercial success - it's a great album, not just as a period piece, but as a wonderful piece of work that has ably stood the test of time.

A small piece of trivia: although Francis Buchholtz is credited for playing on the album, and in fact toured with the band following the album's release, and is in the cover photo, it was Dio bassist Jimmy Bain who did the bass parts while recording the album.

2 out of 5 stars Good Music, Bad Print.......2006-11-07

I am an old Scorpions fan, and always considered "Love At Firts Sting" one of their best albums of latter era. Actually, it's their last album with some original ideas, just like "Flick Of The Switch" was for AC/DC.

I purchased this album when I started replacing my dust gathering collection of tape records made in 80's and early 90's, finally having decided to get some quality sound of my old idols. How great was my disappointment wheh I have heard this CD! The quality is quite similair to what I had on my old tape - low record level, high frequencies are not audible. In short - you've got nothing of Mattias Jabs and Rudy Schenker guitars, quite a little of Klaus Meine voice, which was good back then.

I've heard Scorpions live this summer on private concert in Moscow: they performed mostly the songs from this album, and even given all those years passed, they sounded better.

5 out of 5 stars And I thought they couldn't top Blackout.......2006-07-06

Well... they did. I read somewhere that the Scorps were in the Glam Metal genre. That's ridiculous. They're straight up hard rock. If you're not familiar with Rudolf Schenker's brother Michael, you must check out UFO. Why they aren't more popular, I'll never know. If you're looking for a guitar hero, check out Michael Schenker's guitarwork on the live version of Rock Bottom.

5 out of 5 stars ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE....................2006-04-21

I like this 1 song a lot.........ROCK You Like a HURRICANE. It has great heavy metal riffs. Listen to that song.

    4 out of 5 stars Big Improvement.......2002-12-07

    This remaster is definitely worth picking up. A huge improvement over Deadly Sting. All the songs have an increase in sound quality, in all areas. The only flaw is some static, which is pretty much in the same places as on Deadly Sting. Great liner notes too, talking about problems in the band at the time, the demands of the producer, and opposition to digital recording. If you've never had this album before, this is the version to buy for sure.
