It peaked at on Japanese music charts.

Music is just as good as the album cover. If anyone can inform me about the controversial album cover they used for this ablum.
I agree with your assessment too. This was actually the first Roth era album I bought for the Scorpions and I didn't completely love it at first. But in time, Roth's contributions really grew on me. It really is a guitar player's album for sure.
