THIS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCORPION CDS. EVERY SONG ROCKS ON HERE. THERE ISN'T A BAD SONG ON HERE. THIS CD RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH SAVAGE AMUSEMENT.

Crazy World is about on the same level as Savage Amusement for me. It's a good CD for Scorpion fans, but to a widespread general audience it's probably just the album that contains the hit Wind Of Change. Never able to recapture the brilliance of Love At First Sting, this one continues the Scorps' downward slide from the top of their game. I like this CD enough to keep it as a part of my collection because I really like the band, but after the first few tracks I usually get bored and listen to something else. My favorite tracks include: Tease me Please Me, To Be With You in Heaven, Wind of Change, Kicks After Six.

There are unfortunate, and fortunate, things about this album. The unfortunate part is that once you're at the top, like Scorpions were through the mid to late '80s, there is no where to go but down. Fortunately with 'Crazy World', they don't drop very far. Their first album of the 90's still brings some hard rockers, plus the ubiquitous ballads that have become synonymous with the success of Scorpions. "Don't Believe Her", "Kick Between The Eyes" and "Kicks After Six" prove that the band can still rock as hard as ever, while the ballads "Winds Of Change" and "Send Me An Angel" went to the top of the charts. It's obvious that perestroika and the end of the Cold War had a profound effect on the songwriting, much more so because of their geographical proximity to the Eastern Bloc.
January 20, 2007I LOVE THE SCORPIONS WHO ARE AMONGST THE GREATEST HARD ROCK GROUPS OF ALL TIME.CRAZY WORLD IS A REALLY GOOD ALBUM WITH SOME GREAT ROCKERS AND BALLADAS.GET IT TODAY AND ENJOY
December 12, 2006Ok, as a big Scorpions fan, this album still confuses me. The overall sound is horrible, I can't understand how Scorpions couldn't achieve a cleaner production.
Some of the songs are good, but if you wanna hear a better version of them buy "Live bites". There you have a rescued Tease me, please me; Hit between the eyes and Crazy world. I never realized how these tracks really rocked until I listened to them live.
Don't believe her started the tradition of boring No.2 tracks (which continues until now) for Scorpions albums. Yes, Scorpions biggest hit appears here, the so called Wind of Change. I remember how exciting was to first hear this song on the radio and say: "Wow! It's Scorpions! It's on the radio!" and then just hate it for hearing it every second, everywhere. It was just too much. Besides, this is not Scorpions best ballad, Walking on the edge or Lady starlight (just two examples among many many others) deserve much more attention than this one. Ok it was the symbol of the perestroika generation, but it's so sappy that I can't listen to it again. Besides, it also started a generation of Scorpions "love and peace" songs (Under the same sun, Does anyone know, White dove) that I just can't begin to like.
Anyway, this record represents the first flaw in many many time for the Scorpions, and the beginning of their 90's evident decadence.
