@NatesHiddenGems I have it at #1 for the songs from start to finish and the impact it had on me. The guitar tones are masterful, especially Jabs leads on it. That freaking lead tone. My god. Agree that I'm Leaving You is the best of this album. The Jabs solos on it just hits me everytime.

Scorpions Album Ranking from Worst to Best #5: Love At First Sting (1984) The bands absolute commercial PEAK! And for good reason! This album is the culmination of the band’s full development in terms of songwriting. After the three albums that came before this, where their songs became more streamlined and catchier, this album puts it all together to create the most accessible album of their career! Now, some fans might not have liked the musical direction they went here, but the impact this album had CANNOT be denied! Honestly if you ask me…this album doesn’t sound all that different sonically from albums like ‘Blackout’ or ‘Animal Magnetism’. Sure the guitars sound a little bigger, but there’s still a hint of rawness here that never really went away until ‘Savage Amusement’ a few years later. I fuckin BLAST ‘Bad Boys Running Wild’ any chance I get! That AC/DC style riff is SO KILLER and just CRANKS in the speaker! Even though I never seek out ‘Rock You Like A Hurricane’ anymore, whenever it comes on, I don’t skip it. It’s still such a KILLER song that’s lasted through generations for a reason! HOLY SHIT ‘I’m Leaving You’ is my favorite track on this album! This song is the PERFECT example of keeping the energy with ‘Blackout’ style riffs while adding such catchy hooks! That half tempo “keep me in your mind” section of the song is PEAK melodic Scorpions for me! ‘Coming Home’ fuckin’ RIPS and anyone who disagrees is flat out wrong!😂 ‘The Same Thrill’ is a really good, fast-tempo deep track! That riff SMOKES! ‘Big City Nights’ isn’t my favorite of their hit songs, but it’s so undeniably catchy that I can’t NOT belt that chorus whenever I hear it!😂 Where the album KIND OF looses me is the end. ‘As Soon As The Good Times Roll’ and ‘Crossfire’ are good songs, I just wish one of them had a faster beat. They are both mid-temp songs that kind of stall the pacing. And ‘Still Loving You’ is a good ballad with a VERY good second half, I just don’t go to it very often. Overall, the reason this album is in the top 5 is because the heights it reaches are SO HIGH, I can’t justify anything else that I’ve ranked before it to be above it. Going by vinyl standards, the first side ALONE puts the album this high! Bitch about the commerciality all you want, this thing CRANKS and it’s not healthy to deny it otherwise😂

@Pizzaheroo Was this to complete the get two stats to max level mission?

Prestigious

@RobProvince I know that hand gesture. Its the one that a woman filming herself in a car is about to hit us all with one of the worst takes ever.

Let be honest, when we all found out it was an AWFL that leaked classified intel to a lift wing journalist we all knew she’d look exactly like this.

@VeryBrexitProbs As hes gazing out at all the inflatable boats bringing in hundreds of illiterate savages per hour to land on that pretty beach demanding welfare and housing. Drink up the Chablis while it hasn't been banned under sharia law yet.

MAGA: “Europeans are freeloaders! We pay for NATO. We pay for everything! We’re leaving.” Europeans: “Okay. Cheerio.” MAGA: “We’re packing up! No more handouts. You’ll be screwed without us.” Europeans: “I’m sure we’ll manage. Bye then.” MAGA: “Better start learning Russian. You won’t last 15 minutes without us. You’re a bunch of pussies!!!” Europeans: “Still here?” MAGA: “We’ve got 300 aircraft carriers and 10 gazillion rockets and space lasers! You europoors still have cannons!” Europeans: yawn in French, go for three-hour lunch. MAGA: “USA! USA! USA! You’ll beg us to come back!!!” Europeans: order a second bottle of Chablis.

@Kalshi And Hillary was going to win in a landslide. Kamala was winning Iowa....but then the Russians fixed the election again....

BREAKING: Democrats are now in the lead to win the U.S. Senate

@Polymarket Remember when pollsters said Hillary wins in a landslide and same with Kamala. Remember when pollsters reported early in the election that Iowa was shockingly going to Kamala, when the exact opposite occurred later.

BREAKING: Democrats projected to seize control of both chambers of Congress this November.

@aakashgupta Yes, with cameras rolling and obvious plants coordinated to come up and fawn over him and his policies like he cured cancer. Just a completely unstaged slobber fest ensues wherever he travels.

The mayor of the largest city in America walked 6 miles home from work last night and nobody found it unusual. That sentence would have been absurd 18 months ago when the last NYC mayor was under federal indictment. The city went from an FBI investigation at Gracie Mansion to a guy who took his oath in an abandoned subway station at midnight, paid the $9 filing fee in cash from his jacket pocket, and walks home because that's what he does. 100 days in. 56% of New Yorkers say the city is headed in the right direction, up from 31% a year ago. That's a 25-point swing. The budget is $116 billion. Companies are threatening to leave over his tax proposals. Half the city council thinks he's moving too fast. And he walked home.

@WallStreetMav They also made sure there were poison pills added to the bills so they cant be overturned by public initiative votes, and made sure the threshold from 1 million could be lowered anytime they wish. Which of course was their entire plan all along. An income tax for everyone.

In response to wealth tax aimed at billionaires (California) and extra “millionaire income taxes” (Washington) … many of the wealthy are leaving. But now those same states are devising exit taxes. Even if you leave, they will still keep their hooks in you. Instead of trying to be competitive by lowering their taxes, the Blue states are trying to figure out how to take more after you have left.

NO BUENO ESTO ES MAS CANCERIGENO QUE LO DE KITASAN HERMANO

@HeatherIsUnsane Saw them on the AJFA tour and a few more times since then. I'm good. Especially at those prices to hear 3/4 of a set of songs that I wouldn't consider my favs. Love Metallica. Wish them thanks for all the great music and keep making music.

I'm sorry, but this is insane. Metallica can suck it.

@Incuraaable And then never show up in trainings where you need her. Its a great card for 3 speed decks, but everytime you use it in a 2, its a total gamble she will contribute past the initial stats and make to end of her event. "Meow"

This revolutionary card allows you to have 154 initial stats

@KrisUmasimp Did some test LS careers for cm12 while this was going on.

Well damn, looks like the SSR ticket threshold has dropped down to 500 billion and that means we are basically done I was expecting 1 trillion but oh well lol

@extrememojo @RepSwalwell

The President must be removed. If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

@vodkalover52 Just did a majiro career and topped her scenario record.

@ChristianHeiens GOP used to be the party of fiscal conservatism. They aren't any longer. Most are uniparty lot lizards just looking to line their own pockets. Its why DOGE wasn't supported by them, no matter how much waste and fraud they uncovered. Most GOP are pigs at the trough as well.

DOGE failed not because Elon or Trump didn't care enough about streamlining the Federal government and cutting fraud and waste. It failed because of two things: 1) The primary spending mechanisms within the Federal government are all set to autopilot, and there simply aren't enough votes in Congress to change that. 2) The international monetary arrangement requires a constant outflow of Dollars from the United States to the rest of the world in order to facilitate global trade. Perpetual and growing deficits are one component in facilitating Dollar liquidity. America's trade deficit is another. Lyn Alden is absolutely right. Nothing stops this train aside from its own logical conclusions, I suppose. And we just haven't reached that end stage yet. But we will.

@Marfhis1 @Cafe_shadowxp24 Really nice GW. Congrats.

@Cafe_shadowxp24 Yo tengo esta, no tiene dominator pero igualmente pienso que da miedo jsjsjsjsjs

4 de estas madres minimo por carrera en la siguiente CM

@Cafe_shadowxp24 Two dominator debuffers + 1 ace is my plan so far. Just built a Tachyon this weekend that broke my rating record. But I might just go triple dominator at this point. Just to watch the meta world 🔥

@NatesHiddenGems Part of the reason it took longer is they released the live album and just rode out all the hype and success of Blackout and LaFS for a long time. This album did kind of come out flat from what I remember.

Scorpions Album Ranking from Worst to Best #9: Savage Amusement (1988) Obviously I wasn’t around when this came out, but I wonder what the reaction to this was at the time. Did people feel this was a letdown after ‘Love At First Sting’? If I was there, I would’ve felt a little let down. Especially when it took FOUR YEARS for this to follow up ‘Love At First Sting’ which is an ETERNITY back then!😂 It’s definitely not a bad record, hence it being in the top ten. But something is…lacking with this album. It might be the production lacking any heft or balls! The guitars don’t sound heavy enough on most tracks. Also, I’m not a huge fan of the singles. When the most well known song from this album is ‘Rhythm Of Love”, is that really a good thing?😂 It’s a good song, but is it worthy of being the best known song? Nooooo… I’m not a big fan of ‘Don’t Stop At The Top’, especially as an opener. Like I said, I like ‘Rhythm Of Love’ I don’t love it. The one single I REALLY like is ‘Passion Rules The Game’! Such a CATCHY song! ‘Media Overkill’ absolutely SLAYS! Then more Scorpions ballads I don’t love. ‘Walking On The Edge’ AND ‘Believe In Love’ are songs I’m not huge fans of. My favorite song on the album might be ‘Every Minute Every Day’! LOVE the riff and groove of that song! ‘Love On The Run’ is a BLISTERING track as well! Overall, a classic example of an album where I love most of the deep cuts, but don’t really like the singles. I tend to skip quite a bit of this album to get to the tracks I really enjoy. Making this album land here in the bottom of the top ten…

unfortunately i can’t hate trackblazer because i get 400+ stats in two turns 😟

@CommieGibberish China, just like Japan and SK are facing severe population declines. China's birthrates are at apocalyptic levels. They got nothing to brag about at all.
