Sting in the Tail is the seventeenth studio album by German heavy metal band Scorpions. It was released on March 19, 2010 in Europe (March 14 in Greece) and was released on March 23 in North America. It will likely be their last studio album before retirement.
The album has a duet featuring the Finnish symphonic metal singer Tarja Turunen, in the song "The Good Die Young".
A tentative title for the album was Humanity: Hour II, however this was eventually scrapped.

| A bunch of cliche rock anthems to end their career. Doesn't really move me. Not that it's un-listenable, but it just feels like a manufactured plan to make them feel like they are going out on top. Whatever, they've had a good run and put out some good stuff. |

| I got this one thinking that I will put it on the shelf with all the other ones that came out after 1994, but man I've been spinning it over and over. You're right Bear, but this puts me back to where I was 16 and Scorpions was one of my favorite bands. I'm even thinking going to a show if they come to town this or next year |

We all know they made a lot of dung during the 90's but am I the only one who thinks that "Humanity: Hour I" was a good album?
And yes, I feel like Pashka, if they play a concert near me I will most likely go as well |

| While I was really impressed by Humanity: Hour 1, this doesn't really move me. It seems a tad too cliché compared to the more modern and yet very Scorpions like album before it. |

I liked H:H1. I did not like I2I ... eew. Will get his out of morbid curiosity.
BTW: Jabs did not contribute much. |

Let me try to explain my feelings about this album. As far as I'm concerned nothing came out after Savage Amusement. There were 2 songs on Crazy World and 1 song on Face the Heat that I really liked. So I stopped even listening to anything they came out after that. This album is like a follow up to Savage Amusement for me. This is the album they should have come out with. It's the same as I waited for a follow up to Painkiller and never got it. A follow up to Metallica Black and never got it. I got my album for Scorpions. 22 years later, but I got it. This brings up memories back from when I was 13-18 years old.
Lorelei - What a song I'd put it next to Still Loving You and Wind of Change!!! |

Hm I think this comes closest to what I thought. Frankly, I've never been much of a Scorpions fan myself - though I know how to appreciate them of course 
I think I am missing new elements on this. Just "back to the roots" doesn't seem to do the trick for me. It's good but apart from "the good die young" nothing is spun here much
