Accept-I'm A Rebel (1980)


"Listen, you German swines, you play these gay ass songs so we can get a hit single. Or else!"

And thus, Udo and the boys are forced to fit into mold forced upon them by the evil company. But this is not a bad album, rather quaint by today's standards, especially the anthemic, happy chorused title track. It just comes across as fast and loose rock 'n' roll with extra heft in the riff department. They are one album away from becoming the monsters who would define Teutonic metal. But listen to that funky bass line! I guess they had to contend with the bass player back in the day, since he croons two of the songs in a commercially pleasing fashion. Udo Dirkschneider scared the shit out of everyone in 1980. Ahhhhhhkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 6 out of 10
