THIS WAS THE FIRST ALBUM THAT INTRODUCED GUITARIST MATTHIAS JABS TO THE SCORPIONS FORMULA AND HE TURNS OUT TO BE A PERFECT FIT. RUDOLF SCHENKER'S BROTHER MICHAEL CONTRIBUTES TO THE MIX MAKING LOVEDRIVE A TRIPLE THREAT GUITAR SHOWCASE. THE SOUND OF THE SCORPIONS WAS BECOMING MORE MELODIC YET IT RETAINED THE HARD CRUNCH OF PAST EFFORTS. THE MUSIC ROCKS WITH A DIGNITY THAT THE BAND WOULD LOSE AS THEY  EVENTUALLY ENTERED INTO THE REALMS OF SELL OUT COMMERCIAL METAL. THIS ALBUM HAS ALL THE GOODS FROM THE FRANTIC NEAR SPEED METAL THRASHINGS OF "ANOTHER PIECE OF MEAT" TO THE MENACING SLOW BURN INSTRUMENTAL OF "COAST TO COAST"...BOTH SONGS FEATURE THE AWESOME INVENTIVE FRETWORK OF MICHAEL SCHENKER AS HE TAKES THE LEADS. "ALWAYS SOMEWHERE" IS A POWER BALLAD WITH RESPECTABILITY THAT RETAINS AN INNER INTENSITY FROM THE FIRST NOTE TO THE LAST AND FEATURES MATTHIAS JABS ON LEAD AS WELL AS KLAUS MEINE'S HEARTFELT OPERATIC VOCALS. "I CAN'T GET ENOUGH" IS A ROOF RAISING MIND MELTING METAL ASSAULT THAT DOES NOT LET UP WITH HAIR RAISING FRANTIC LEADS AND MALICIOUS DEMONIC VOCAL SCREAMS. THE ALBUM CONCLUDES WITH THE MEDITATIVE MAJESTIC BEAUTY OF "HOLIDAY" WHICH FEATURES MULTI VOCAL HARMONIES AND SOME SPLENDID ACOUSTIC FARE. METAL AT ITS FINEST. O.F.
