Title: Weak effort by a band in transition
Review: With the departure of Ulrich Roth, the Scorpions underwent a dramatic and obvious change of style - from unique and non-commercial to blatantly commercial. Nothing wrong with commercial (if it's good), but clearly the guys had not yet found the refined sound of such albums as Blackout and Love at First Sting. The only good songs on this album are the title track and Loving You Sunday Morning; the rest are either sleepy ballads or run of the mill "rockers", all noise with no melody. Simply put, LOVEDRIVE is a lousy effort except for two songs. The previous album Taken by Force presents a far more interesting format with less obvious commercialism. Don't waste your time with this one - you're not missing much.
