Pure Instinct is the thirteenth studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions , released in 1996. Reviewers criticized the album for having too many ballads and not enough hard rock or even rock .
The cover art for this album, as with several earlier Scorpions albums, was replaced with an alternative cover for some releases due to the nudity on the original cover.[6] This is the only Scorpions album on which session musician Curt Cress plays drums. The album has more ballads than non-ballads. The song "You and I " gained some popularity and was often played in Scorpions concerts.
