You’ve got to admit it’s a lot of fun and even after all this time I found myself singing along to Too High To Get It Right and Screaming For A Love Bite in the car, much to other drivers' amusement. Metal Heart would see Accept achieve the perfect fusion of the fast, furious, aggressive style they pioneered on Breaker and the more anthemic chant-along style they brought out on Balls To the Wall, yielding a true classic which seems less beholden to their influences like Judas Priest. If there is a distinctive, definitively 'Accept' sound, it is to be found here." ( Metal Music Archives) It's just all... less than, compared to what came before. While the songs aren't softer, they're somehow simpler - and not in a good stripped down way. Just not a lot of nuance. The title song sets the template with verses punctuated by title-shouted choruses, then solo, chorus again and out. Album closer Bound to Fail starts out promising but ends up feeling like a rewrite of their massive hit Balls To Wall with the gang "Oh-oh-ohs" meant for chanting in arenas.

Accept took their classical influences (mainly as a result of Wolf Hoffman's affinity for the big Teutonic composers), and incorporated it into songs with strong riffs, pounding rhythms and absolutely nonsensical lyrics (they're German - who cares?).

Teutonic titans Accept mould themselves into more commercial shapes on sixth album Metal Heart

Downhill from here on in really, until their more recent renaissance, and now we have both UDO and Accept. Win for us in my book. I love this and will score it highly! Roland Bearne: With this one, I have to "out" myself; I love Metal, great big fist in the air head-nodding metal. From Accept and on through the alphabet. All the Edguys, Angras, Helloweens, Rhapsodys, love 'em all. Pure escapism and fun and Accept is definitely one of the prime movers of that whole Teutonic Metal massive. Midnight Mover", about a drug dealer, is one of the more commercial songs on the album and was selected for a memorable music video that anticipates the bullet time filming technique by a full decade. "Just ahead of our time again!" jests Hoffmann. [5] The voice of Udo is another acquired taste, but I arrived to it after enjoying equally brilliant vocalists like Mille Petrozza, Rolf Kasparek and Chris Boltendahl. It was never going to stop me enjoying the music! Even though it sold less in the US than Balls to the Wall, it became bigger on the other side of the Atlantic. Half the bands I later came to love may not have been around, had it not been for Accept in general, or the commercial success of Metal Heart in particular. They paved the way for a younger generation that realized it was OK to be metal, but still write melodies and not compromise on the quality or integrity of their sound.

And it is a heavy metal album. No one is going to get Metal Heart confused with Judas Priest's Turbo or Whitesnake's 1987 album. There are no guitar synths, keyboards, or power ballads. Udo's bark hasn't softened and the band still has plenty of bite. I loved Accept from the first up until this release. Russian Roulette seemed to fade a bit, but I was surprised to find on fresh listening that I still love this. Got the vinyl when it came out and still sounds pretty darn good to me. Is it big dumb fun which will probably make King Crimson aficionados tut patronisingly? Well, yeah, sort of the point isn't it? There’s the songs, of course, but it was more than that," Saboton's Joakim Brodén told us. "The vocals were different,Wolf Hoffmann’s guitar was different. And you can see that these guys, along with Judas Priest, were shaping what heavy metal is today. They represent the essence of this music.” In conclusion, although it’s not Accept’s best album I still have fun singing along to Metal Heart while directing an imaginary classical ensemble of electric guitars. It’s a great album and will receive a high score from me. All told, Metal Heart just comes across as a collection of recycled Scorpions and AC/DC riffs and Van Halen solos and it has never really grabbed me, I'm afraid.Unlike regular magical powers, these ones don't scale with the number of accessories, and require at least 5 rift accessories to activate. Side two is marginally better. Opener Too High To Get it Right has a decent groove and a hint of Steve Harris in the bass playing. The contrast between the gravel-gargling squeals of the lead and the melodic harmony work better than they should . Happs Richards: There’s a bit of rose-tinted nostalgia about this album, as I bought it after seeing Accept for the first time on the Metal Heart tour at Hammersmith Odeon, so yes, it’s different from their earlier stuff and the production does hint they were trying to break into the USA, but... Closer Bound to Fail is the weakest song on the second half with another faux classical intro and a weak attempt to create an anthemic sound which just comes across as ponderous.

With its faux classical intro, generic riffs and cliched dystopian sci-fi lyrics about metal hearts, Accept set their stall out with an entirely safe ‘Metal of the Road’ album from a competent Headbangers Ball filler band. The production on Metal Heart is excellent. Much more polished that any of their first four albums. Many sing along hooks throughout the record and so much fun to listen to. The heaviest song on the record is Wrong Is Right, you just gotta crank it all the way up. I mean, Wolf Hoffman just goes off here. They even went a little jazzy with Teach Us To Survive. Love it! Mark Alaimo: This is Accept's attempt to breakout into the US market. So they brought in producer Dieter Dierks. It was the right move.

Up To The Limit is probably the best of them. Wrong Is Right is probably the worst but it’s a tough contest between it and Screaming For A Love Bite which has a hair metal vibe to sit alongside the atrocious lyrics. Gary Claydon: I've always thought that if ever a German version of This Is Spinal Tap were made they wouldn't have to look any further than Accept for inspiration for the titular band. It's all there really, the album covers, the song titles, the lyrics (Exhibit A: " Son of a bitch, Kiss my ass"). Teach Us To Survive is the most proggy entry, with plenty of energy and a jazzy bass line. The lyrics are still utter nonsense but it matters less when the music is at least interesting.
