Scorpions – Taken By Force (1977) (@256)
01 Apr 2008
(Review from amazon)
The band kicks off their fifth album with one of the fast-paced hard rocker, Steamrock Fever. They could not have started the album with a better track. Its fast and furious stylings grab your attention and hold onto it. Track two, a lengthy rocker entitled We’ll Burn The Sky, combines heavy and melodic stylings, making for one of the band’s finest efforts. I’ve Got To Be Free and Riot Of Your time, are also not to be overlooked. Track number five, Sails Of Charon, is the track on the album that tends to get the most praise – and with good reason. To the time, this was the hardest and heaviest song the band had ever recorded. The guitar stylings here are very similar to those found in Megadeth’s Hangar 18. Ulrich Jon Roth never sounded better. Your Light is another rock piece that is severely underrated. “He’s A Woman She’s A Man”, another hard and heavy fast-paced rocker, comes next. Next to “Sails Of Charon”, this is the track on the album that gets the most praise. The album closes out with the lengthy power ballad, “Born To Touch Your Feelings”.
“Taken by Force” marked the end of an era for the Scorpions — the band’s lead guitarist, virtuoso Ulrich Jon Roth left the band following the tour of this album.
