I'll be perfectly honest..... when I first popped this baby in the player, I was almost depressed. It really didn't stand out to me. It was mediocre at best by Accept standards. However, I listened to it a few more times and it REALLY started to grow on me. In fact, now I think it is going to be almost as good as BotN. There is a little more double bass and some things that aren't "typical" Accept, as I think they are modernizing their sound a bit, but still EVERY song has many parts in it that still have the "Accept Sound." There is even more of the gang vocals on this one than the previous (and I love the gang vocals) and there are endless guitar solos as well. This thing is a winner, and Accept is a freaking monster band. I would be really surprised to see a release come out this year that will beat this one, from my perspective.
