It Has Arrived!
Although it is not slated for U.S. release until June 22, I received my copy of The Scorpions, Unbreakable yesterday. Not one for waiting, I had placed two seperate orders for the European edition. I had assumed that the orders were for the two different versions of the album, but was quite surprised to discover that both were for the limited edition version. There was a vast difference in the pricing between the two sites where I had placed the orders. As the lesser priced order arrived first, and the other order still had not shipped (for reasons unknown), I was able to cancel the higher priced order. My advice to anyone who wants this CD is to order the import version from CD Universe. It is one incredible, kick-ass metal album, well worth any price or wait, but why wait when you can have it now?! I am reccommending CD Universe for this purchase since their order shipped faster and the price was more than twenty dollars less than what the folks at Amazon were asking.
Heed my advice, fellow metal heads! This album will blow you away!!!
Just to whet your appetite for what I consider to be one of The Scorpions best works ever, I give you the following...
A picture from the liner
and
The lyrics two my two current favorite songs from it.
Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em
Klaus Meine/James Kottak
Blowing 'cross the universe
Like a shooting star that lost its way
Looking back with no regrets
Living for what hasn't happened yet
Love 'em or leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
Break out to make out
No change in the season
Love 'em or leave 'em
Put out or get out
Simple survival
No more denial
Love 'em or leave 'em
Roller coaster flies off the track
Hits you in the face, stabs you in the back
They take your right, leave nothing left
Steal you blind, your mind and leave you deaf
Love 'em or leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
State of the nation
Pure intoxication
Feel the vibration
The anticipation
Simple survival
No more denial
Don't wanna waste no time
I'm never losing track
I've seen it all and so much more
But I ain't seen nothing yet
Love 'em or Leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
Break out to make out
No change in the season
Feel the vibration
The anticipation
Simple survival
No more denial
Love 'em or leave 'em
Deep And Dark
Matthias Jabs/Klaus Meine
Down, I am down
On the ground, sad and tired
I'm down, It's over now
Yes I'm down, should I like it
It's deep and dark
Deep down in my heart
It's deep and dark
Since we've been apart
Is this love that comes around
That takes me up light years higher
'cause I wanna feel love once again
It's deep and dark
Deep down in my heart
It's deep and dark
Since we've been apart
It's deep and dark
Deep down in my heart
It's deep and dark
Without someone to love.
