What an amazing recording! This disc took me the longest to find of all of the Scorpions discs, which is amazing, since I believe it is their best studio album. I could argue about how good Lovedrive is, but that was Michael Schenker. Everything aside, Uli Jon Roth hit full stride on this album and then walked away from Scorpions to front his own band Electric Sun, which had at least 3 releases that I know of. Honestly, this disc has stupendous songs and music wizardry. Roth makes his strat talk and at this point had to of been one of the best guiatrists in the world. Rock solid songs on this release include Steamrock Fever, the Sails of Charon and He's a Woman - She's a Man. Those 3 songs rock and I've heard guitarists try to mimic and fail almost everytime. Other than the hard side there are also ballads and slower songs like Born to Touch Your Feelings and We'll Burn the Sky. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this disc a solid 10. My least favorite song is Suspender Love, but it is a good song in its own way. Whether you like it hard, slow or multifaceted [the Riot of Your Time], Taken By Force will take you there. Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell and the rest of Scorpions, particularly Uli Jon Roth, lead an assualt on your senses and will leave you stunned. If you're my age you will probably wonder why more stations didn't play this in the day and I would wager if you heard it and knew who it was YOU BOUGHT IT!!! That is, unless you couldn't find it. Don't waste $10 on just anything, get something you will cherish the rest of your life. I like it, I like it a lot!!!
May 5, 2008I am a huge fan of Uli-era scorpions and this album has all my favorites. The best track is sails of charon, and we'll burn the sky. Must listen!
April 18, 2008I've loved this album for 30 years, and now that it's re-mastered with two bonus tracks, it's just the cream of the original first 5 studio albums! It sounds better than ever! I would have preferred the sequence of the tracks to have been originally rearranged, but that's no matter. Turn it up loud; read the lyrics! Highly recommended! I wonder why they did away with the original cover art on this one? And, what is the full/long version of Sails of Charon? It's 4.24 here. Is there an 'extended mix'? *lol*

Truly one of their best works, with the early crew of Uli Roth leading the FORCE.
June 27, 2007The album has very good tunes.The Riot of your time has a very enjoyable blend of guitar sounds. Overal it is one of my favourite Scorpions albums from their earlier years.
