It really was a treat. Probably my favourite of the bunch, and they were all pretty good.

I checked Olaf's tracks tonight, will post my review tomorrow. Why nothing from the first Scorps album?

Exactly what I ask myself every time I look at the Friday's Top Five thread.

Re: A Bunch of Fives (New Challenge Thread)
Am Landwehrkanal
Kind of reminded me of a German version of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Not really my thing, a bit too ponderous for my tastes. 5/10
Nina Hagen - Keine Macht Fur Niemand
A bit abstract for me. 5/10
Stereo Total - Cannibale
This is a bit better. Nice abuse of the "My Sharona" riff and some nice dark melodies. Quite enjoyed it. 6.5/10
Josh - Cordula Grün
I started out disliking this intensely then it started creeping up on me. Quite anthemic in an understated way. 7/10
Seeed - Wonderful Life
Gotta say I prefer the original. The loping reggae vibe is a good idea but I'm not sure of the execution. 5/10
