12. The Best Is Yet to Come
In the last two albums, they took a journey to go back to their roots. They had the mood of 70's. My impression of this album is that they summarized their career in it. It has some of positive pop rock tunes, sad and dramatic minor songs, beautiful ballads, and heavy metal tracks as well. Initially, this album was going to be their last album (Then they released a re-recorded album). One thing that reassured me of this band was that Klaus Meine's voice really made this band unique. Because of his voice, heavy songs are subdued its heaviness, ballads become more dramatic, pop tunes are lightened, and minor melody becomes more beautiful.
The album is full of Scorpions flavor. It has some good pop songs such as tracks 1, 8, and 11. One of the highlights in this album is the dramatic tune, track 4, featuring Tarja Turunen. Two ballads 7 and 10 are beautiful and moving. They have the same feeling as the songs such as "Send Me An Angel" and "When The Smoke Is Going Down". Another highlight of the album is track 12. It is very dramatic, and both music and lyrics have really positive energy. I do not know if they will release another studio album, but I can say that they brought a clown glory and beautiful conclusion to their career if this album become the last.
