ACCEPT: Albums Ranked (From Worst to Best)

ACCEPT: Albums Ranked (From Worst to Best) - Rank 'Em All

In todays video I'm going to rank Accepts full discography. Accept is a German heavy metal band, they became huge with albums like Breaker, Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall. Udo Dirkschneider the bands vocalist then left and David Reece took over the microphone on Eat the Heat. In later years the band has been fronted by Mark Tornillo. But over the years it has been guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and bassist Peter Baltes that has kept the band going. In todays video we're going to rank Accepts studio albums from the worst to the best. Enjoy!

I had never heard of accept a few years ago. I was digging through a record store $5 bin and came across a copy of Restless and Wild. I picked it up because i thought it looked worth picking up. I wasn’t prepared for what was about to happen when I got home. When I heard the intro scream my face instantly melted and I was in love. What an epic album. From that day on Accept has been one of my fave bands. Still learning a lot about them.

I'm always surprised Accept records are still in bargin bins while even Motley Crüe and Priest albums are starting to get pricey. I'm glad though maybe young fans who can't afford $20-$30 albums might start picking them up and spending the word.

UDO's first solo album, Animal House, was technically an ACCEPT album seeing it was written as being the next Accept album after Russian Roulette and when UDO left, the Accept boys gave him permission to use all the songs for his first solo album.

Great ranking! Nothing to add, except that I remember, 9 years old, coming home with my copy of Restless and wild back in -82.

Russian Roulette is their best one IMO, and actually one of my alltime favorite metal albums. Not a bad moment on it, a fairly varied set of songs filled with great hooks, memorable solos, catchy choruses, tons of emotion and some dark lyrics. Even the album cover looks awesome, even if it's very unconventional.

Russian Roulette convinced quite a few of my schoolmates to give Metal in general a chance. Up until then I was always the "one and only long haired dude listening to noise". Don't know, what it was, but that album somehow worked as a gate opener.

Being a (German) fan for 37 years now, I can say that I love every Accept album. They were the 2nd metal band I got into after Iron Maiden. I mostly agree with your ranking, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for Eat The Heat, although I don't really listen to it as an "Accept album". And I always come back to the first two albums. Just something about them ("youthful energy"?) that I really like. Also, I think that the first Accept album was one of the most METAL sounding albums of the late seventies. The nineties reunion-albums are the ones I listen to the least often. Objection Overruled is definitely the best of them but I actually prefer Predator over Death Row. Funny thing is that I never really could get into U.D.O. (Udo Dirkschneider's band). It's a similar style but for me there is always something missing that I get from Accept but not from U.D.O.

I remember when I was in high school, a friend of mine bought Restless and Wild. I went over to his house to listen to it. Never heard of them at that point. In the living room he put it on. We then went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer. A German folk song came on, and we looked at each other, saying wtf?! Then we heard the sound of a needle ripping the record. He said: "Oh shit, the turntable is ruining my record!" UDO screamed and the guitars came in. We sat down relieved that the record and player were fine, and then were pummeled by Fast as a Shark! 🤘Rest of the record was great as well.

@Frank_nwobhm 2 жыл бұрын

Restless and Wild was so groundbreaking in 1982. I remember my buddy Dave had bought it and called me up and said I had to get over there immediately to hear this song. He said it was the fastest and heaviest thing he'd ever heard. Of course, that song was Fast As A Shark. To this day it's a stunning example of heavy metal at it's finest. I don't know if that sort of introduction had been done in the past with it's German folk music played on a crappy record player, but after that it became the thing to do for many bands. The album stands head and shoulders above the rest of Accept's discography for me.

I guess you'll have to do the Scorps next! Restless & Wild is obviously #1, but I also listen to Breaker, Ball to the Wall, Blood of the Nations & Stalingrad. I could never get into Metal Heart or Russian Roulette, but did see them live on the Russian Roulette Tour in '86 at Hammersmith Odeon, which was brill.

Yeah, I just don't like that one, I know you're a fan of it though. :) It's to glam and too weird for me and yeah I never understood it. :) Running Wild would be cool, I've definitely thought of ranking their albums. The problem with me is that I often stop listening to bands after the 90's and even if I've heard a few of those 90's Running Wild albums I haven't spend much time with some of them. The first half of their discography is excellent though. So it might happen some day. :) lots of bands to rank and little time to do it. haha Cheers!

@Wanderer_1877 2 жыл бұрын

It's a nice ranking. For me I'd put Balls to the Wall to the first place, because it's such a unique, colorful album, all songs are extraordinary, just like the lyrics, which are exceptionally interesting and deep - well, in the whole scene you would call metal. It was a perhaps strange, but undoubtedly fruitful combination that their manager and then Wolf's wife wrote the lyrics, beginning with this album. After this I would put Breaker to the 2nd and Restless to the 3rd place. The Mark Tornillo era is also excellent.

I predicted the best and the worst, but in all honesty that's not terribly hard to do... 😄 Really love Accept, but I mostly stay with the classic 80s releases. The new stuff is pretty good, but I don't really like the production, and - as good as mr Tornillo is (and he is a damn good replacement) - Udo will always be my Accept vocalist of choice. The real blind spots on my Accept radar are "Death Row" and "Predator" - two albums I've never bothered listening to. I also remember not liking "Objection Overruled" terribly much back in '93 but maybe that was mostly down to me being quite heavily invested in grunge at that time. Oh well... it probably deserves another chance today. Wish I had kept that cd... The less said about "Eat the Heat" the better, but it is an impressively poor stinker of an album.David Reece does a respectable job but the songs (maybe with the exception of okay-ish opener X-T-C) are just bad. I can't quite decide which is the worst release ever from a respected metal band - "Eat the Heat" or Queensryche's truly horrendous "Dedicated to Chaos". Maybe it's a narrow escape for "Eat the Heat", simply beacause "Dedicated to Chaos" really isn't metal at all... but on the other hand I must admit that Accepts low point made me more disappointed and angry, since I wasn't really expecting anything remotely good from Queensryche in 2011. Thankfully both bands have found their way back to making quality albums again. 🙂 Anyway... I'm rambling.

@RuthlessMetalYT 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah Objection Overruled is better than Predator and Death Row so. :) I mean Eat the Heat wasn't good but Dedicated to Chaos is way way worse in my opinion. :) Cheers!

@hansgraichen8051 2 жыл бұрын

Death Row is probably one of my favorites of theirs. It was the first Accept album I listened to. I prefer it over anything prior to and after Restless and Wild. I guess that makes Death Row my second favorite of theirs.

Now that you mention it I think Accept may have gotten the BTTW Album Cover from Sticky Fingers and Too Fast For Love. Anyhow I love Accept big time. They're right up there with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dio, and Judas Priest or they should be, I'm sure you'll agree they're a bit underrated.

Yep, Restless and Wild. Loved this. Read they were 'between' a second guitarist so Wolf Hoffman did everything. After this all i know is Balls To The Wall and Metal Heart. Over due for a find (they're here somewhere ;) Funny a mid '90s release was called Predator. 'Round about that time, i bought a MIA Peavey Predator S type for $235 as a 'set', (GB, cable,,,) I've been at this for awhile,,,,The DX Turbo covers alot of ground.
