| 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful  "It's black & blue and it happened to you", By This review is from: Metal Heart (Audio CD) Accept was the German Judas Priest in the 1980s. They offered the blistering duo guitar assault of Wolf Hoffman and Hermann Frank and the high, raw vocals of Udo Dirkschneider. They released two amazing metal masterpieces before their sixth album Metal Heart (Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall). Metal Heart came out in 1985 the year after their most famous album Balls to the Wall. To capitalize on their enhanced fame, producer Dieter Dirks (of Scorpions fame) was enlisted to give Metal Heart a more commercial sound and extra sense of melody. More change took place when Jorg Fischer replaced Frank on guitar. Accept's music began to move away from the dark intensity of their previous two records. Though the potential was there for this album to mark a giant fall from the metal mountain top, it ended up being another solid album that offers some amazing tracks.The title track is solid and was inspired by Tschaikowski and Beethoven (so says the album cover).

This was their most solid effort. It might have not have been their heaviest, but it was their best. The band sounds great. The singing is not for people looking for Paul Rodgers or Lou Gramm. It's more like a cross between Brian Johnson and Paul Di'anno. This record sounds like "British Steel" era Priest. If you are a classic heavy metal fan(traditional, not thrash or speed), you will enjoy this album. If you do, make sure to check out all of Accept's back catalog. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful Unheralded in Its Day, By "nyghtchld" (West Coast Exile) - See all my reviews This review is from: Metal Heart (Audio CD) Heavy metal may have reached its peak around 1985, and so did Accept. More polished than its predecesors ("Restless & Wild" and "Balls to the Wall) with more energy than the follow-up "Russian Roulette," "Metal Heart showcases everything that was right with Not-Quite-Mainstream-Because-No-Radio-Station-Would-Play-It '80s metal.The work here presents some hich-octane burners ("Midnight Mover," "Up to the Limit," "Too High to Get It Right," and "Living for Tonight"), as well some smoldering selections ("Screaming for a Love-Bite," "Dogs on Leads"). There are also a couple of songs that move a bit beyond the ordinary fare with the title track and "Bound to Fail." Some listeners may be turned off by the less accesible "Wrong is Right" and "Teach Us to Survive" and the adolescent nature of some of the lyrics, but if your looking for an album to propel you back to a time when music (and the fans) had more raw energy, this album is a sure bet. |
