Great band
Great album! and we're seeing Accept tonight 🍺🤘!!
Great review. I think this one's pretty good. The album sounds like a recent period Judas Priest album for the first few songs,to me. Obviously Andy Sneap. After that more Accept sounding. Nothing wrong with that for me
I really liked the first few albums with Mark, but Accept really need to do something different. Maybe it's time they tried a new producer to shake things up a bit. Andy Sneap produces a great sound technically, but all the bands he oversees tend to have a samey almost cookie-cutter formula to them. Do appreciate the nod to Metal Heart on the album cover. Nice touch.
Phenomenal album. My favorite since Russian roulette. Probably has some of their most catchiest songs in years. Great album cover as well.
Russian Roulette? Better Than Restless and Wild? Hmmm. . . Interesting. Martin Popoff dislikes Russian Roulette. I think he said on this channel at some point he likes maybe 2 songs. I have not liked them since Metal Heart. To each his own . . .
I like it but it could easily be mistaken for “Too mean to die” part 2.
@@danebrackvitch4901 I like Martin Popoff and what he does (with or without Pete) but why do you appear to hold his opinion on music higher than anyone else's? And what happens if Martin doesn't like an album or band that you do like? Ultimately, he gives opinions on music that are no more or less valid (or subjective) than you, me or anyone else's.
For the record, I like every Udo Accept album to one degree or another, and I liked "Blood of the Nations" because it had 80% of the best Accept line-up and some kick-a$$ songs too - unfortunately, it has been downhill from that point (in my opinion). I was also lucky enough to see them in London on the Restless And Wild, Metal Heart and Russian Roulette tours, and they put on an amazing show each time.
@@danebrackvitch4901 no. You are not understanding what I said. Chronologically speaking it is in my opinion the best accept album since Russian roulette. I do believe restless and wild balls to the wall and metal heart are better than Russian roulette.
Favorite since Russian Roulette?? I don’t even know where to start with this opinion….
Frankenstein is a killer.....the album is great 😮
Great new album by a great legendary band.
Great album, who is rockin Accept in 2024???
Yep, never stopped! Love it!!
Legendary band.
I like this way more than Pete, really catchy and different from the last few. Also really liked the songs that Pete didn’t, man up and straight up Jack, those are fun songs and another reason why it’s not the same as the last few albums. If you like sing along songs then this is for you
Thank you again for your time Pete 👍💯
Can someone please get Andy Sneap to produce the next Iron Maiden album.
Hell please no, he is easily the shittiest and generous Producer of our time. All his Albums Sound the Same, clinical triggered drums and only extreme punching guitars in the mix. His Albums Sound Like Plastik in a can, nothing organic so you can hear there are humans playing on that Album. Everything Sounds Programmed an machanical
Thanks pete I'm going to checkout this album !
Thank you Pete for the Accept review today much appreciated
Frankenstein and Southside of Hell are the standout tracks on the album.
I really loved too mean to die. I find this one is not as good as that but it's really good. I find accept is kind of like AC/DC and overkill and bands like that. Where you? You just know what you're going to get every album that they put out,but a solid slab of metal for sure
Nice review as always Pete! Love the early Accept albums and Blood Of the Nations was a killer comeback but I have to spend some more time with the rest of the catalog including this one!
I dig "Man Up".
It sounds lame to me. Not to mention the message of the song sucks because it doesn’t really apply to a lot of people. Like what if someone gets cancer or their dad dies? Are you really gonna tell them to man up?
Kool aid part 2 . Not the lyrics but the music
Very good album surely they are on a roll.
Udo is accept, I know Pete you like to accept the latest thing, but with most of these bands the lasted thing it’s all relative. Keep on rocking Pete .
Accept have been (and likely always will be) my absolute favorite heavy metal band. Love 'em!
Having said that, the Tornillo-led version of Accept have been on a downward trend (IMO) since the glorious return of "Blood of the Nations".
For me, buying Accept albums was always a matter of "keeping the faith", but their last two or three albums have not been that memorable.
They seem to be rehashing the same riffs and arrangements all the time - beautifully executed and produced, but nothing startlingly new or catchy.
I can't complain because BOTN put Accept back on the map and it ultimately presented me with the opportunity to see them live, since they never toured Australia in the Udo days.
It was a great show (around the time of the "Blind Rage" release) and it gave me a chance to make my dream (of seeing them live) come true.
Somehow I enjoy this album more than the past few...they all sound the same with Mark. But this one stands out to me for some reason. Songs are better? More of that classic Wolf gang vocal thing? More 80s type songs? Not yet sure.
I really like it. Love it at some tracks and the songs as weakest probably but acceptable and rock . Good review on Accept new album Pete, Heard it and would consider picking it up. Thanks as always Pete. Best reviewer. Always straight on the reviews, Have a great day and everyone in comments have a great day as well.
As always, I agree with Pete 100%. Great album, but not unlike the last few. I've been listening to it for several days now and my head is banging.
I agree with you Pete very solid but not groundbreaking. I like the latest U.D.O. Touchdown album a little bit better. I can’t remember if you reviewed that one. Having two great bands is a win win for all of us.
UDO has some great albums
I was very underwhelmed by their last two releases but this one is a huge improvement and is up there with Blood of the Nations and Stalingrad!
Just bought several songs from iTunes. Great album overall. Been a fan since early 80s.
That says it all, when you admit to treating music like "Pick 'n' Mix" sweeties on iTunes. It used to be that an Accept album would engage you from start to finish, rather than just one or two songs.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Well , I rarely buy complete albums from any band. For me, if half the songs are really good it ranks high. I'm very picky and don't like as many songs per album as the average music fan. No need to spend money on songs I won't listen to.
@@spg5658 My response to anyone (usually a millennial or gen-xer) that says to me "all albums only have 2 good tracks and the rest is filler" is the same - "you're listening to the wrong albums and not taking your music seriously enough to take the time and trouble to find those good albums from start to finish, because there are plenty of them".
I'll go a stage further (and you're welcome to label me a "music snob" if you wish) but I don't consider anyone a music fan unless they're taking the time to just sit and listen to a good album from start to finish at least a few times a month - maybe just sit there with a coffee or a beer but just focus on the music, not be jogging in the street, working out in the gym, mowing the lawn or doing something else with the music in the background or on headphones.
@@terrydaktyllus1320I'm Gen X for what it's worth but to each his own.
@@spg5658 Then you further my argument, but do as you will.
Hello Peter. How about a king diamond ranking?
I like it a lot!! i would give it 3.75 out of 5..BTW they are touring this Fall with KK's Priest!!
I missed that announcement. They're playing a shitty venue in Ft. Worth, but I'll be there for KK and Ripper.
Accept and UDO is a strange thing for me. I like Accept better without UDO and I like UDO better without Accept. I’ve seen both bands live numerous times and they are both great live. My favorite is possibly UDO now when he finally stopped playing Accept songs live. He doesn’t ’t need to as he has so much great music on his own. Same with Accept, their last 6 albums are easily their best work, including the new one.
That's right, for me it's also important that I met both in person: Udo makes it easy to like him as a person. He is very sociable, open and funny. Wolf is rather professional and very distant.
Yeah UDO has a great personality. Always a treat to see him on stage, and since he’s touring almost all the time, you get several chances every year to see him. Accept is also touring quite extensively, but not like UDO.
Great group Pete! Have you considered doing a Tenacious D video?
I love the album
Can you please review the new Semiramis album? It's their first album in over 50 years. It's called La fine non esiste.
I need to get into this band
Listen to the albums Breaker, Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall and Blood of the Nations.
They are using the same formulas again in which is getting too forgettable for me. Solid playing but it’s lacking for material.
Did You recognise the Metal Heart framing the cover.....
Nice Hammer "Curse of Frankenstein" shirt 🤘
Very good album.
Good review Pete. Good straight forward hard rock, but not a sensational album.
Don’t think anything has been as good as “ Blood of the Nation “
When I listen to a band I have always liked I expect them to sound like themselves, why would anyone want different from a band? This is not pop fluff crap, this is hard rock and metal. There is no need to reinvent the accept wheel
Horsemen rideee into the night!!! yeahhh
...Me gusta!!! 🔥
Greetings from the UK-England/Britain....Having listened to the album many times i can honestly say i love it,it`s not perfect but i`d give it 8/10,that may increase or decrease of course.I bought the hardcover/booklet edition with 12 tracks whereas the regular one had 11 songs.The inclusion of "Hard Times" which was a well known protest song about racism,tolerance,bigotry in 1975 America by Curtis Mayfield i think-considering the lyrics-was an inspired choice to cover especially the way the world is today....."Straight up Jack" is obviously NOT a homage` to AC/DC`s "The Jack" but a paean to Jack Daniels bourbon-at least one alcoholic drink invented in the USA that does not resemble dish water.
Accept rules
Not for me, I'm afraid - too much of the original band is gone for me to care that much about Accept any more. It's not the same band now.
"Blood of the Nations" as a comeback album was a stunner (even without Udo) but Accept has to have that wonderful rhythm section of Herman Frank / Peter Baltes and Stefan Schwarzmann with Wolf Hoffmann "leading the charge". Herman Frank and Stefan Schwarzmann left after "Blind Rage" (their last good album in my view) and then Peter Baltes left after "The Rise of Chaos" and they have just become more and more of a generic heavy metal band now.
Listened to "Humanoid" and "The Reckoning" and can't say there's anything in those that hasn't been done much better before by other Accept line-ups.
For me it's like all of these bands getting to 40 and 50 years old now - some are still good, others (for me) have peaked to the point where I don't care any more, but if they still fill concert halls and attract new fans then good luck to them.
Sorry but I'll stick with the double live cd with udo on vocals. All my classic favorites with more muscle.
It’s not even the same band members except for Wolf Hoffman. It’s okay from what I heard on my phone and playing TH-cam. I would probably have to listen to the CD several times before forming my opinion. He is right it does seem like there stuff is becoming cookie cutter.
I have to be honest there are some really good tracks but there is a bit of filler here, no real surprises here. I own every album but Humanoid Frankenstein The Reckoning are great the rest sound like generic Euro power metal
Alot of these new releases just blur together for me. It's just more of the same. Rinse and repeat.
This is absolutely uninspiring and redundant IMO. NOTHING new or interesting on this album, and I am a huge fan of the band. I may be off the blind purchase train with these guys from here on.
I agree 100%
that happened for me with "Blind Rage". and I haven't picked up any since. they all sound like rehashed BOTN songs, but not as good.
I felt that way about UDOs touchdown album boring and dull
@@toddnorin3843 interesting U.D.O. Never cared a lot for his studio albums. But his live albums are killer
The album wasn’t good enough to justify the insane price of the cd. It was like $16.50 on amazon and $18-19 in stores… at least where I live
A little bloated and the slower song killed the momentum for me but other than that pretty good.
Disagree Man Up is a great song. Definitely lyrics my kids and every young person needs to pay attention to.
It's now 'Accept' only in name at this point!
They really are just a tribute band to themselves now - it's a shame because I really would like to like them, Blood Of The Nations was a great album but it has been downhill since, especially as Herman Frank, Peter Baltes and Stefan Schwarzmann have left.
@terrydaktyllus1320 if they have an actual Accept member, then how are they a tribute band? The other people left. Also, tribute bands don't record new music
Definitely not a tribute band.
@@JIF882 I know what I said. If you disagree with it, so be it - but I am not debating "verbal semantics" with you over this.
I know you're not stupid but let me treat you like you are, given your silly point - "tribute band" in my case means "a lower quality version of themselves", and without Herman Frank, Stefan Schwarzmann and Peter Baltes, that is exactly what they are. Hence my use of the term.
You're welcome, you can thank me later.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 then don't make comments like that
Good production, good musicians nothing more but very average compositions, always the same repetitive recipes
Hopefully this is the last album for them. It’s just worn out at this point. It has become “Accept paint-by-numbers”.
I mean no offence but considering some of the bands/artists i can see in your cd collection,should you really be reviewing what i would call Classic Heavy Rock/Metal...i can clearly see tons of albums i would class as Easy Listening/AOR/MOR/Bland,beige,innocuous.
For me the album is uninspired, lifeless, without new ideas, which was also the case with the last albums "To Mean to Die" and "The rise of Chaos". Maybe that has something to do with Peter Baltes' exit and his personal relationship. We'll see his influences on the next U.D.O. album. Sneap's production is good as ever, but maybe he has too many influences, which I don't think is a good thing. Overall its a good metal album, but if the name accept is on it there has to be more. I give it a 6.5/10.
Disappointing album from Accept. I think they should take a break from making albums for some time. I agree with Pete they sound too similar, usually on every accept album I only like a few tracks like this one. Southside of hell is by far my favorite, just great riffing. Its a shame because I think Wolf is one of the most underrated guitarists and I always love his melodic playing but the songs are just interchangeable.
Nothing special 6/10
Accept no longer a German band 1 German wolf American vocalist American drummer
