New We Built This House is very good! Also we have here some known-before songs.

Rock My Car was performed in several concerts from 1986. Rock'n'Roll Band and Dancing With The Moonlight were recorded in acoustic for MTV Unplugged in 2013.

17 tracks is a great amount of songs!

P.S. I'm sorry for several same thread postings. Something was wrong with my browser. Please delete all repeats.

 

Looking forward to this in a big way - loved their last cd. Very annoying that again the physical format buyer misses out on a track.

 

Let's hope 17 tracks will be included in Japan CD. Fingers crossed.

 

Q: What does "Return To Forever" mean?
A: http://chickcorea.com/what-does-the-name-return-to-forever-mean/

They named the album after the seminal Jazz-Rock Fusion band!

Why not just name it Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones or...

 

Three songs with 'rock' in the title. One more and you have to ask AC/DC for permission.

 

Or Weather Report

 

Sting in the Tail was a nice surprise, but Scorpions are beyond formulaic at this point. Still, if people are into them, who am I to naysay it? A great band for many years & still going. Something to be said for that, I suppose ...

That said:

"Rock My Car"? Really?

 

Rock My Car is actually one of their old songs from around '86 I believe....

 

Last CD?

 

I thought "Sting in the Tail" as an album was at least decent. Not sure about the new album, the preview of the new song sounds quite cheesy to me. Not really my cup of tea.

 

The Jpanese version of this has 18 tracks the 16 included on the deluxe as well as Crazy Ride and One And One Is Three....still no Delerious!

 

So 19 tracks in total. All songs recorded for this project will be released on various formats/territories. That's great!

 

Yeah, pathetic in my view.

Although who knows maybe in 6 months they will re-release it with that track. Then yet again 3 months later with bonus live stuff. Are they on the same label as Deep Purple's Now What? I must have bought that at least twice...

 

+1. I would've been pretty happy w/ them going out w/ "Sting in the Tail", as initially planned.

 

What labels don't play this game now...soooooo annoying!

 

What labels don't play this game now? So damn annoying!

 

I hope they reissue their albums on vinyl next year...I need Lonesome Crow and Fly to the Rainbow.

 

"Lonesome Crow" is available on vinyl in Germany, and it sounds pretty nice. I just got it recently, and it sounds better than any CD version I have heard. Cut from high-res digital without any futzing with during the mastering.

 

Really? Is it an official release or a bootleg? Because if it's official, I wonder why they haven't released it elsewhere?

 

Comeback album?

 

It's been exactly 30 years since their last decent record. Time flies...

 

Yes, perfectly official Universal release from 2009.

Not true at all.

 

This one is a strong contender.... worst album of 2015.

The last good one.... Love at first sting.
