About this deal

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! 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?). 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. 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.

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. 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...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. Mark Mellberg: Metal Heart is a blitzkrieg to the senses. There's no doubt that Dieter put a little sheen to Accept, but the album is still fairly heavy. There's a hell of a lot of tasty riffs on Metal Heart, and they should have at least got them to Gold status like Balls To The Wall. They didn't. 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. Popoff, Martin (1 November 2005). The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal: Volume 2: The Eighties. Burlington, Ontario, Canada: Collector's Guide Publishing. pp.8–9. ISBN 978-1894959315.

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.” 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. 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.

Unlike regular magical powers, these ones don't scale with the number of accessories, and require at least 5 rift accessories to activate. The band's early albums were stuffed with the kind of testosterone-pumping anthems that became a benchmark for much of what that the band would achieve, but album number six, Metal Heart, saw them try something a little different.

Hoffmann recalls Dieter Dierks as a very demanding producer: "We would do some pieces several dozen times trying to capture what he had in his mind for a specific section," adding: "Each song we tried different combinations of guitars, mic'ing and even strings!"

The small rift sac can hold 46 of each rift collection item and crux, the medium can hold 422, and the large can hold 6102. 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.

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 . Popoff, Martin. "Accept - Balls to the Wall". Martin Popoff.com.
