Savage Amusement

About Savage Amusement

Savage Amusement is the tenth studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released on 16 April 1988. It peaked at No. 5 in the US and was certified platinum by the RIAA on 20 June 1988. It was the last Scorpions record to be produced by Dieter Dierks. The album was the follow-up to the successful Love at First Sting and had some musical differences when compared to its predecessor. The overall feel of the album shows that Scorpions wanted to experiment a little with some different genres, going to a more radio friendly style and incorporating more synthesized sounds. While there are still some straight heavy-hitting songs, like "Don't Stop at the Top" and "We Let It Rock... You Let It Roll", there are more commercial rock songs such as "Passion Rules the Game". more »
