First listen. This is good, but it's bullshit how it gets me emotional when I don't even know what the lyrics are. Crying at the steering wheel like "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS FLOOD IS A METAPHOR FOR BUT WHY WOULD YOU TAKE HIM THERE SHARON HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T ENJOY IT!"
Edit: after the second listen I think this album is amazing.

In short, the flood is a metaphor for all the issues with their relationship. Another thing came undone which is causing them to have to look at all their problems aka "being led to the flood". He is reacting in a more calm and rational manner to this than she is which causes her to question him saying he's enjoying it. I'll leave it to you to decide why that's impacting you.

First listen (in full) Edit: So far, I'm quite impressed... I think it's more solid than Physical World, and I love that some of these songs are given room to breathe in terms of production. Love the balls to the wall ferocity of You're A Woman, but this is a welcome change.

Guilty pleasure time, again. I don't know what the hell has gotten into me, but I'm all about some Scorpions right now.
I'm not sure why it's a guilty pleasure. Scorpions are fucking great.
Being a teen of the late 90s, classic rock radio was just then starting to filter in hair metal into their rotation, forcing out some of the deeper Zep, BOC, Lizzy, and Sabbath singles at the time. So, I always kind of hated the "hair metal" era of classic rock... except for these guys. It just has such a strong hair metal connection to me, it's hard to disconnect... but the vocals, guitar, and for the most part lyricism is amazing from these guys. I've recently listened to some of their 70s stuff before they got huge in the states, and good god... they're awesome.

I'm probably close to your age and I can see that connection. But, after you dig into their albums/songs(even their popular songs) you notice quickly that Scorpions should be removed from bands like Poison or Motley Crue. I do consider those bands guilty pleasure bands for me though.

I feel like I have to point out that I always loved the scene in The Wrestler when Marissa Tomei comes out to the Scorpions' "Animal Magnetism"... that song is so fucking awesome. That kind of sparked my interest in them, even after hearing "Big City Nights" and the like for years and years. That song is fucking wicked.
