This album is Accept’s seventh release. It came out in ’86 and it was the last before Udo departed, only to come back again, and then leave again. I guess a lot of people look at this line up as the definitive Accept as this was the one that got them up the ladder. I do like a lot of the modern Accept records, as Wolf Hoffman sure knows how to write a good riff.
This album gets overlooked somewhat as Balls To The Wall and Metal Heart gets all the praise, but there are some great tracks hidden within the grooves. Opener T.V. War is good old speedy Accept with double kicks all the way and a trademark Wolf riff fest. Aiming High has another uptempo Wolf riff and groove with Udo wailing, as only he can. There are a few too many slower tunes on the record, and even a ballad which at the time, didn’t go down to well. My favourite track is definitely T.V. War because that is how I expect Accept to be.
Not as bad as everyone makes out.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
