"スピード","ギター","衝動"というコンセプトのもとで出来上がったアルバム。「SCORPIO RISING」という名前は、ケネス・アンガーによる１９６３年のカルト映画と同じタイトルである。前作の「fetish」とはうって変わり､ストレートなＲ＆Ｒアルバムで「大人のパンク」を感じさせる作品になっている｡布袋寅泰が少年の頃にギターを手にするきっかけになったマーク・ボランの写真を撮影した鋤田正義氏撮影によるジャケット写真も､本作品を構成する重要な要素である｡
松井常松,J(LUNA SEA),山木秀夫,井上富雄(ルースターズ）、ザッカリー・アルフォード等参加。 MR.LONELYはHOTEIの友人である俳優・豊川悦司のために書かれたもの。
