Not even renowned metal producer
Bruce Fairbairn could save this disappointing follow-up to the outstanding release
Crazy World. Instead of concentrating on melodic tunes,
Face The Heat seems to focus on noisy metal and glass-shattering screaming rather than the usual classic and emotional sounds that the
Scorpions have put on their previous albums. Especially when compared to their previous recordings,
Face The Heat is quite unsatisfactory. ~ Barry Weber
