"I'm a Rebel" (07/19/2005) Rock & Pop Accept, SPVAccept includes: Udo Dirkschneider (vocals); Jorg Fischer, Wolf Hoffman (guitar); Peter Baltes (bass); Stefan Kaufmann (drums). Engineers include: Christoph Bonno, Manfred Schunke. Recorded between October and December 1979. All tracks are digitally remastered. Accept: Udo Dirkschneider (vocals); Wolf Hoffmann , J?rg Fischer (guitar); Peter Baltes (bass guitar); Stefan Kaufmann (drums). Coming off a less than stellar first album, Germany's Accept showed a marked improvement with 1980's I'm a Rebel. The production values still leave something to be desired, but both the band's trademark guitar crunch and vocalist Udo Dirkschneider's gravelly shriek are evident for the first time on this album. Their songwriting skills are also evolving rapidly, with the title track (their first bona fide classic), "China Lady," and "The King" showing the first glimpses of the power and energy that would soon turn Accept into Germany's most successful metal band -- second only to the Scorpions. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

"Hungry Years (Digital Remix)" (05/01/1995) Rock & Pop Accept, MetronomeOriginally released in the mid-'80s, Hungry Years has been reissued, re-released, and remastered many times in many countries. The most common American version perhaps being the 1995 Castle issue. Short and to the point, Hungry Years includes some of the best selections from Accept's early catalog, including I'm a Rebel, Breaker, and the metal classic Restless and Wild. Rightfully, nothing is selected from the group's woeful eponymous 1979 debut. All three songs culled from Restless and Wild -- including the title track, "Princess of the Dawn," and "Fast as a Shark" -- are career highlights for Accept, not just the early era covered on Hungry Years. The tracks taken from the other two albums are among the best each have to offer, but any fans interested in the undeveloped sound of "The King" and "Midnight Highway" would probably want to seek out the releases these songs first appeared on. There is no substitute for Restless and Wild, so new fans should start with either that record or Balls to the Wall and leave Hungry Years to the collectors. ~ Vincent Jeffries

"All Areas - Worldwide" (11/24/1997) Rock & Pop Accept, BMG (distributor)ALL AREAS is a live concert album by the influential 1980s German thrash-metal band Accept. It appears at least that All Areas is just the inevitable catalog addition from a group well into the twilight of their career, and it would be altogether useless if Accept wasn't such an exceptional live act. Perhaps a contract needed fulfillment or maybe the rent was just due, but no matter the reason for this disc's existence, it is not without merit and may be the best live recording from one of metal's most consistent live acts. The quality of the recording is commendable and the performances do not lack any of the enthusiasm and precision that fans would expect from Accept. Highlights include all the early-'80s material, and not just the most recognizable "Balls to the Wall" and "Fast As a Shark." "London Leatherboys," "Starlight," and "Princess of the Dawn" are but a few of the classic Accept gems that rock just as hard on All Areas as they did when they were originally tracked almost 20 years prior to this 1999 release. A fair amount of cuts from the group's later recordings are also included on this two-disc set, and while the newer songs are indeed listenable, they don't really hold up when compared to the old treasures. To the extant that there are any, fans of Accept's entire catalog will surely enjoy this release, but most listeners will probably have to skip more than a couple tracks before they get through the entire play list. ~ Vincent Jeffries

"Take Two" (04/17/2001) Rock & Pop Accept, Sony Music Distribution (USA)In late 1984, if you checked just about any headbanger's record collection (and back then it was a record collection -- this was before CD's took over), it would be a safe bet that at least one release from two bands would be found -- Quiet Riot and Accept. While the former enjoyed mass MTV and chart success with their blockbuster debut, Metal Health (the first ever "heavy metal album" to top the U.S. charts), the latter was more a cult classic among metalheads on the strength of such releases as Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall. And it's this era that the Sony budget-priced series Take Two focuses on -- with five standouts from each group. While most of their material isn't of the thrash metal variety, Accept is often credited as helping give life to the genre from a single song, the manic "Fast as a Shark" (fun metal factoid: this was the song that Charlie Benante played for Scott Ian at the drummer's tryout for Anthrax), which is highlighted here. And you can't go wrong with the title track from 1984's aforementioned Balls to the Wall, easily one of the darkest metal tracks of the "party hearty" era. The Quiet Riot portion is just as strong -- despite the absence of one of their most renowned songs, the anthemic title track from 1983's Metal Health -- as evidenced by their monster hit "Cum on Feel the Noize," and a track re-recorded from their early "Randy Rhoads era," "Slick Black Cadillac." While this obviously won't be a definitive compilation for either band, it is indeed a superb sampler for the new fan. ~ Greg Prato

"Metal Heart" (02/02/2004) Rock & Pop Accept, BMG (distributor)Recorded at Dierks-Studios, Cologne, Germany from October to December, 1984. French digitally remastered edition features two bonus tracks. Accept attempted again to crack the lucrative American market with their 1985 release, METAL HEART. Like its predecessor BALLS TO THE WALL a year earlier, METAL HEART is heavy yet melodic rock. The ingredients remain the same--singer Udo Dirkschneider's rough vocals are on display throughout, as is the shredding lead guitar of Wolf Hoffmann. Longtime Scorpions producer Dieter Dierks joins the crew for the album, wisely not interfering with the Accept sound. Standout tracks include such amped-up rockers as the title track, "Midnight Mover" (which contained a truly dizzying accompanying video), "Screaming for a Love Bite," and "Up to the Limit." Although Accept seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the big time, Dirkschneider would exit the band after just one more album, 1986's RUSSIAN ROULETTE.

"Eat the Heat" (02/02/2004) Rock & Pop Accept, BMG (distributor)Accept includes: David Reece (vocals). French edition. Upon the departure of longtime singer Udo Dirkschneider after 1986's RUSSIAN ROULETTE, Accept decided to carry on and find a new singer. Vocalist David Reece's Accept debut, 1989's EAT THE HEAT, shows the band moving in a slightly more commercial direction to their previous releases (although ROULETTE had offered a few hints) comparable to that of then-current chart toppers Def Leppard and Queensryche. The best known song remains the sparse "Generation Clash," centered around a repetitive bass riff (the video enjoyed airplay on MTV's HEADBANGER'S BALL), while other highlights include "Chain Reaction," "Turn the Wheel," and "Hellhammer." The new-look Accept didn't last for long however; Reece was dismissed shortly after EAT THE HEAT, and by the early '90s, Udo Dirkschneider was back.

"Russian Roulette" (02/02/2004) Rock & Pop Accept, BMG (distributor)French version features two live bonus recordings ("Metal Heart" and "Screaming For A Love-Bite"). Many assumed that German rockers Accept would finally break through commercially with their 1986 release, RUSSIAN ROULETTE. Their previous two releases (1984's BALLS TO THE WALL, and 1985's METAL HEART) had built a solid cult following amongst metalheads stateside, and with such other up-and-coming metal acts as Metallica and Megadeth finding their niche, it seemed that Accept would be next in line. RUSSIAN ROULETTE has a more commercial feel than its predecessors, perhaps aiming at the pop metal audience that had previously embraced bands like Motley Crue. While the album has its share of highlights ("Heaven Is Hell," "Stand Tight"), the change in direction would prove detrimental; longtime singer Udo Dirkschneider split shortly thereafter to form his own band, UDO, while Accept soldiered on with substitute singers.

"Staying a Life" (04/24/1997) Rock & Pop Accept, BMG (distributor)For several years in the 1980s, Accept was one of heavy metal's most exciting live acts. But for years a six-track live EP (1985's KAIZOKU-BAN, currently out of print) was the only live document of these German heavy metal terrors. That all changed with the 1990 release of STAYING A LIFE. The group was a hard rocking sensation in Japan, and like the aforementioned KAIZOKU-BAN, STAYING A LIFE was recorded live in that country in 1986. All 15 tracks are outstanding, but highlights include "Metal Heart," "Up to the Limit," "Living for Tonight," "Restless and Wild," "Flash Rockin' Man," and the killer album-closing one-two punch of "Fast as a Shark" and "Balls to the Wall."
