SCORPIONS – Comeblack (2011)

*

Scorpions, who are heading for retirement (really?) after their current tour ends in the middle of next year, are releasing a new album, “Comeblack”, on November 4 that is split between re-recordings of some of their biggest hits and covers of other artist’s songs.

“Comeblack” includes seven brand new versions of classic songs from their catalog like “Rhythm Of Love”, “Rock You Like a Hurricane”, “Still Loving You” and “Wind of Change”, all featuring the new line-up which includes great drummer James Kottak and
Pawel Maciwoda on bass.

“Comeblack” is really well performed and produced.
I don’t know if these re-recordings were necessary, but The Scorpions still Rocks.
As interesting addition, there’s a version of “Still Loving You” sung in french, sub-entitled “Je t’aime encore”, featuring female vocalist Amandine Bourgeois doing a nice duet with Klaus Meine. This track will be exclusively available on the French release of the album.
