This is a review blog that critiques what is current and classic in heavy metal today. Each album is rated 1-10, one being the lowest drek imaginable, and 10 being an absolute motherfucker. I sincerely hope this helps you in your obsessive quest.

Accept-Balls To The Wall (1983)
And here you have it.....the genre standard bearer. Heavy riffs, sparkling 80's production values,
the homoerotic lyrics, Udo's bestial gargle, all culminating in the eternal anthem "Balls To The Wall". Accept would rewrite this song from time to time throughout there career. This album stands the test of time against any of the other classics of the 80's. That said, it's still kind of a time capsule, a reflection of what shocked the elders in the day, but harmless now. In the end, only the riffs endure, those classic riffs.
