How do you feel about "Sting In The Tail" now

[Speedyscoming]

I still love the cd and so many good songs and think its one of there best.. and better there last 2 cd's. But I love all Scorpions Music...

Yes there biggiest mistake is still "eye to eye" some good songs.. but i still can't like some of that cd...

[Shane]

I've had some time to evaluate . . .
I think that Sting in the Tail is amateurish and predictable.

I'll take Humanity Hour 1 in a second over that CD.

Still love the Scorps - but many songs in Humanity Hour 1 are powerful, whereas Sting in the tail is predictable.

Just my opinion.

Hm... I'm still loving it)))

I love SITT!! I work out to that one more than HH1, altho I love a lot of songs on HH1. There are just more rockers on SITT that I get off on!!

[Raised On Rock]

I agree with Shane when he says HH1 was a better product, for me it was the last evolution of the "Scorpions sound" started with the previous album, Unbreakable. SITT was not bad at all and I like it, but as I said before it looks more like an homage to 80's rock than a Scorps record, it sounds too "simple and generic" in some songs, some rockers in particular. And no, I don't see it similar to any of the 80's records of the band, they were more structured and didn't had this "rock party" attitude. The Good Die Young is the only song that tries to continue the sound of the previous 2 records, SLY Lorelei and The Best is Yet to come are the only other songs that have "The mark of the Sting", even Raised on Rock (my nickname, but not because i am a fan of the song, but because I was really raised on rock ) tries too much to mock RYLAH, but is the only rocker i would save from the cd, the others lack Scorps DNA imho.

I still like Sting In The Tail, but I like Humanity Hour 1 and Unbreakable a lot more. When I play SITT in the car on my way to and from work, I find myself skipping over a lot of songs, and switching out the CD pretty soon after putting it in. When I put in HH1, I can listen to the entire CD without skipping songs (except for sometimes We Will Rise Again), and sometimes I'll leave the CD in for a week and not get tired of it.

I know what Shane means about it being predictable. I still like it, but definitely not one of my favorites.

I like the songs raised on rock , sting in the tail , Lorelei ( sp ) , and the best is yet to come but the rest is kind of filler. I agree that HH1 is better.

Still amazed that HH1 didnt chart way better . The song Humanity is one of the best songs they ever did. Should have been as big as wind of change.

I remember when Matthias told me when he had just got the final product of SITT from the studio in New York and how he said that he was driving thru the streets with it full blast. That is what I do at the rec center when I get on the machines and I totally jam out cuz I love Turn You On and ROR and ROCK ZONE one of my faves and of course No Limit. Damn, I wonder why others don't go crazy over these rockers? hmmmmm

[Gabi6912]

I love Sit as I loved at the beggining.
It belongs to my fav Scorps albums indeed.

Me too.

The album is great!!!Classic Scorpions and its success is the answer,as the unsuccess of other albums is the answer,as well!!!
In my opinion, SITT is the best Scorpions and best Klaus,since FTH!!!

DNA .. is that the abbreviation for Dumb Nitwitt Amend ?

[oldscorpsfan75]

SITT is the perfect album to say farewell to the fans...when HH1 came out the press totally rejected it cos' it was recorded with too many " experimental sounds"...but personally I prefere HH1 even though it was a unsuccess for the band...but I don't understand why the band never play something from this album for this Final Sting but I don't want to restart the same topic about the setlist

[DeepAndDark]

At this particular moment (Monday, 28 May, 1 a.m. ) I prefer HH1 over SITT and Savage Amusement over both of them.

Dumb Nitwitt Amend ?

Isn't that a triple tautology?

[music_tech]

for me 'sting in the tail' is best that Scorps released at last decade. but still i wanna more solo line in song from Matthias, like it was at 80th.

Klaus said in an interview that solos aren't as popular as they used to be. I disagree....

[music_tech]

I respect Klaus, but this opinion is wrong. there're so many examples Slash, George Lynch, EVH, even Michael Schenker, so u're all know this guys. they still working in those keys like in 80th & it's terrific.

[13.vero]

I like this album so much! It's the best way to put me in a good mood You can feel energy through SITT and that's really nice.
