Very worthy recording by these German Rockers. Many of the songs are heavy guitar driven. However, there are some little ubtle touches that make this recording stand out a bit. One is the beautiful closing ballad Still Loving You. What an awesome tune from the lyrics on down to the singing as well as the guitar interplay. One of my all time favorite heavy metal ballads.

Two is the dynamic guitar riffs that open up many of the tunes particularly the signature Rock You Like A Hurricane, Big City Night, and Bad Boys Running Wild. A third would be the gentle guitar pasage of Comming Home. Truthfullu I would have liked for that song to be a ballad all the way thru. A fourth stand out moment would be the drum beat on Crossfire. Very unconventional beats especially for a metal band.

Nonetheles, Love At First Sting is onsistent throughout and is truly an enjoyable experience.
