The Scorpions must have felt their Progressive tendencies of "Fly to the Rainbow" weren't the way to go for them and on their third album they made a clear choice for short and accessible material. They sold off their synths to Eloy, who would gladly wear them out, and the few songs clocking in over 4 minutes here are all ballads.

The album is split between speedy metal-rock ("Dark Lady", "Robot Man"), rather typical mainstream hard-rock/blues stuff ("Top of The Bill", "Sun In My Hand", "Longing for Fire"), and loads of ballads, of which "Evening Wind" and "In Trance" are quite glorious. It's not a bad album but it's rather redundant, it's too short and the quality of the material is too uneven. Besides you'll find all songs you'll ever need on "Tokyo Tapes" live album.
