5 out of 5 stars Awesome... great album!   February 20, 2008
R. Carrillo (Tampa, FL USA)
The cover art for this album was replaced with an alternate cover for the U.S. release. The U.S. cover had a picture of the band with a red wave eminating from a guitar. Pure instinct it's a return to their roots in solid songwriting blending the better textures of their instruments and vocals.
This is one of my favorite Scorpions albums behind Blackout & Love at First Sting. The songs are all great and have great hooks. It is what I call Hard Rock not Heavy Metal. If you like Scorpions this is a great album. The most amazing thing about this album is the complete lack of filler. Not that the Scorpions are known for writing filler songs, but this is their 13th full-length album. Most bands lose their creative energy after 5 or 6 albums, but that is not the case here. Every single song here is very well composed and structured, and they all have the kind of chorus that will have you singing along by the second time you listen to the album. The other great thing about this is that they haven't tried to modernize their sound at all. Stylistically, this album sounds very much like something from the 80s, but with a more modern production. It's classic Scorpions material, melodic catchy hard rock bordering on metal.



5 out of 5 stars Great, typical, quality melodic SCORPIONS fare!   January 10, 2008
CQ DX (Ohio, USA)
Been a Scorps fan most of my life (i'm 46 years young...still have full head of hair!), having gotten into them in the mid 70's when axe pioneer stylist/shredder Uli Roth mesmerized rock audiences the world over with his jaw-dropping fluid guitar wizardry. Having then followed their career throughout the Matthias Jabs years, i've always come to expect quality, memorable, riff-laden ballads, anthems, and outright 'ballsy' hard rock/metal masterpieces. 'Pure Instinct' is as good as the best of them, i'm happy to say! The 'album' contains a nice mix of flat out rockers, as well as some gorgeous ballads that showcase Klaus Meine's incredible, heartfelt, emotional vocals. The opening tune, 'Wild Child', is 'worth the price of admission' alone, with it's cool bagpipe effects mixed in with Jab's fat power chords and biting lead work! All in all, this release has something for everyone! LONG LIVE THE SCORPIONS!

THIS ROCKS. whoever said only wild child and stone in my shoe are the heavy one should listen to oh girl (I wanna be with you). thats my favorite. Also listen to Since you came into my life. I swear you'll think of still loving you or wind of change. this is a ballad thats DEFINITLY up there with those two. Overal This is an awesome album that is for rockers and people who want to relax.

Wow! This collection of songs "Are you the one," "Soul behind the face," and "When you came into my life" will have you reflecting on past memories and posibilities of the future.
In my opinion these songs are classic. They have the ability to take you on an emotional roller ride... way better than any C/W song. More people should consider using "When you came into my life" as a wedding song choice. I love most everything the Scorpions have put out, but this is, by far, my favorite C/D!!!! If you have any sentimental strings this collection will touch your heart.

This Album is sweet, great album, unbreakable is sweet too, dont listen to the person who says it really sucks, cause it doesnt, check out songs off unbreakable like love em or leave em and deep and dark then tell if it sucks or not cause it doesnt. And I hope the scorpions will be putting out albums for many years to come.
