Accept's most underrated album is probably best keep that way. There is a decent collection of songs on this album, but it's best remembered for the Ball To The Wall rewrite, "Heaven Is Hell." And there is nothing wrong with it, Udo's psychotic delivery puts it over, though the rest of the band sounds a bit sluggish. And the drum sound is atrocious, a card board sounding thud, such an annoying bass kick. Teutonic anthem 'Aiming High' is the highlight of the album, all the album production flaws mysteriously corrected; it is rousing and fist pumping. The title track is another highlight, but goddamn that drum sound. The rest of the album is filler, a trap many high profile metal bands from the 80's fell into, lazily writing two or three good songs per album, sending one off to the radio stations, and the others popping up live from time to time. Just anther Accept album, completely deserving of it's 'underrated' status.
Rating 6 out of 10
