Blackout Album by Scorpions

Blackout Album
Scorpions

Blackout is an album by the German rock band Scorpions, released in 1982.

This effort by Scorpions shows off their uncanny ability to pull off energetic songs and to produce an easily commercialisable brand of heavy metal with a pop shine. A hit single "No one like you" from this album was the first real success the band had in America.

It is of note that singer Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal chords during the writing of the album, and it was uncertain whether he would be able to record it. Demos of the material were recorded with Don Dokken as vocalist, however none of those recordings is featured on the album.

Track listing:
"Blackout" - Schenker/Meine/Rarebell/Kittelsen
"Can't Live Without You" - Schenker/Meine
"No One Like You" - Schenker/Meine
"You Give Me All I Need" - Schenker/Rarebell
"Now!" - Schenker/Meine/Rarebell
"Dynamite" - Schenker/Meine/Rarebell
"Arizona" - Schenker/Rarebell
"China White" - Schenker/Meine
"When the Smoke Is Going Down" - Schenker/Meine
