"Pure Instinct" is the Scorpions best album of music since "Love at First Sting" was released in 1984. The album is strong in that it is full of songs that sound like different times in their twenty-five year career. Songs like "Where the River Flows" and "Time Will Call Your Name" have a flavor of the Uli Roth/Michael Schenker era. Songs like "Wild Child" and "Girl I want to be with You" have a flavor of their 1980's sound. While songs like "Does Anyone Know" and "Stone Inside my Shoe" exhibit their ability to establish new boundaries in their creativity.

THIS ALBUM IS HARD TO BEAT. THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH "BEST OF ROCKERS N" BALLADS & "LOVE AT FIRST STING". THEIR GUITAR RIFFS ARE AMAZING AND THE VOCALS ARE PERFECT AS USUAL. THIS IS A MUST TO HAVE FOR EVERY SCORPIONS FAN

THis is the best Scorpions album of them all, and I have them all. Yes better than 'blackout' and 'love at first sting'. There is not a bad song in the lot. I can not listen to this enough, sure there are a couple ballads, but name a Scorpions album that does not have one. If you consider yourself a Scorpions fan, or even a hard rock lover, get this now. The best songs on the Cd are: Wild Child, But The Best For You,Stone In My Shoe,Soul Behind The Face, Oh Girl (I Wanna Be With You),You And I......THIS IS A MUST FOR EVERYONES HARD ROCK COLLECTION!

Wow! This collection of songs "Are you the one," "Soul behind the face," and "When you came into my life" will have you reflecting on past memories and posibilities of the future.

In my opinion these songs are classic. They have the ability to take you on an emotional roller ride... way better than any C/W song. More people should consider using "When you came into my life" as a wedding song choice. I love most everything the Scorpions have put out, but this is, by far, my favorite C/D!!!! If you have any sentimental strings this collection will touch your heart.

After putting out a dozen or so metal albums, the Scorpions seemed to mellow out with this one. I kept waiting for it to rock out, but it just doesn't (well, a little at times, but not like a regular Scorpions album). That said, the songs are GOOD. It's not burdened by a bunch of lame ballads like Aerosmith's 90's work. And it's still the Scorpions - they don't try to jump on the bandwagon of the "current" popular sound of the time, which is good for those of us who hated grunge and "Alternative"! There's a nice variety of feels, with some nice acoustic and keyboard work - reminiscent of some of their earlier songs like "Is There Anyone There" off LOVEDRIVE.
