Scorpions one of my favorite bands, in the last couple of years I started listen much often the 70’s records and those records grows up on me.
The band of the seventies is hard heavy and obscure, with Uli Roth amazing guitar work, thats why I change completely the original my maybe order of this list.

Pioneers on the hard rock and early heavy metal scene in Germany.
Scorpions started in late 60’s, in 1972 they recorded their debut album, the band's only album with lead guitarist Michael Schenker – just 16 at the time of the recording – as a full-time member. He soon left to join UFO and was replaced by Ulrich Roth until 1978. After that the band lead by Klaus Meine And Rudolph Schenker wrote the most famous songs and music and got the recognition and worldwide success.

Taken around 8:30 pm GMT
There was no write-in for djent so I voted for one.
Not totally clean (trolls in last categories are kept for fun),
Thanks to the person who curated most of the write-is since yesterday, it really reduced the work to do!

PS : I cleaned the list listening to The Testament by Seventh Wonder, so I was particularly unhappy to see it in the biggest letdowns at the end

2.A.A. Williams - As The Moon Rests

3.Disturbed - Divisive

4.Dog Fashion Disco - Cult Classic

even though 2021's list isn't final yet (are they ever?) - I'm compelled any-damn-way to rank the 2022's I've been bamboozled with the most... most of it happens to be metal in some way or another - but, like my previous ones... non-metal albums that kick my ass (softly?) will surely be included, as well - hope it helps or is at least interesting to even one MS'er! (even if that MS'er is me hehe)
