Crazy World is the eleventh studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released on 6 November 1990.[1] The album peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart for albums in 1991.[2] That same year, the song "Wind of Change" reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100[2] and "Send Me an Angel" reached No. 44 on the same chart.[2] It also has the only Scorpions track to credit bassist Francis Buchholz as a writer, "Kicks After Six". This album was the band's first album in a decade and a half to not be produced by Dieter Dierks.
Crazy World became the band's only album to reach number one in their home country of Germany.[3] In the UK, it remains the only Scorpions album to attain Silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in November 1991.[4] In the United States, it is the band's second best-selling album to 1984's Love at First Sting, and their last one to be certified at least gold by the RIAA.[5] It was the band's last studio album to feature the Lovedrive-era lineup, with Buchholz leaving the band in October 1992.
"Hit Between the Eyes" was played during the ending credits of the 1992 film Freejack.
"Send Me an Angel" was played at the closing scene in the 2004 Cold Case episode "Who's Your Daddy." "Wind of Change" was also used during the 2009 film Gentlemen Broncos and towards the end of the 2014 film The Interview and international version soundtrack featured Nutri Ventures in pilot episode.
Reception
Adrien Begrand writing for PopMatters called the album "pop metal by [the] numbers".[6]
