Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as Uli Jon Roth's final album with the band, 'Taken by Force' captures the Scorpions transitioning toward an intensely melodic, arena-ready heavy metal sound. The record brilliantly balances fiercely energetic, highly rebellious hard rock anthems with Roth's remarkably passionate, soaring neoclassical guitar virtuosity.
