OK, ok, I admit, I was just curious cause I knew their background on the 70's was kinda Progressive Rock influenced.

And ok, ok, I admit again, I never liked Scorpions, they always seemd to me too much 'fake' as a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band, and even more on the late 90's/00's.

I didn't liked Lonesome Crow (from 1972), so I was kinda worried when I first start listening this 1974 Fly To The Rainbow, to begin with, the cover, a very bad one.

The sound here, it's hard rock driven, with a lot of space rock influence (specially on the final track 'Fly To The Rainbow' a rip off Pink Floyd 70's era), and all in all, not bad. But of course, wasn't the 'Progressive Rock' album I was looking for, even knowing was just a little influence.

'Fly People Fly' is another good track, and 'Speed's Coming' is a great Rock n Roll. 'They Need A Million' brings some latin rhythms, not with percussion and etc, but on the tempo. 'Drifting Sun' is the Hard Prog of the album, a good track as well.

All in all we have a ok album, above the medium, but not that high, so 3,5 stars is the note for me.
