The production on Metal Heart is excellent. Much more polished that any of their first four albums. Many sing along hooks throughout the record and so much fun to listen to. The heaviest song on the record is Wrong Is Right, you just gotta crank it all the way up. I mean, Wolf Hoffman just goes off here. They even went a little jazzy with Teach Us To Survive. Love it!

Roland Bearne: With this one, I have to "out" myself; I love Metal, great big fist in the air head-nodding metal. From Accept and on through the alphabet. All the Edguys, Angras, Helloweens, Rhapsodys, love 'em all. Pure escapism and fun and Accept is definitely one of the prime movers of that whole Teutonic Metal massive. Udo's voice is a bit like shards of glass in a cement mixer but, it makes me smile! (Had dinner with him once, lovely chap, a gent.) To the album itself, I know criticism has been levelled at cribbing Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, but you can bet your burning Flying V that it was done with a tongue firmly wedged in Hoffman's grinning cheek. Side two is marginally better. Opener Too High To Get it Right has a decent groove and a hint of Steve Harris in the bass playing. The contrast between the gravel-gargling squeals of the lead and the melodic harmony work better than they should . The rest of side one is slightly better but never gets out of second gear. The riffs are stale, the singing is a cross between 80s Rob Halford and Brian Johnson and the solos don’t catch the attention.

Teutonic titans Accept mould themselves into more commercial shapes on sixth album Metal Heart

Closer Bound to Fail is the weakest song on the second half with another faux classical intro and a weak attempt to create an anthemic sound which just comes across as ponderous. Popoff, Martin (1 November 2005). The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal: Volume 2: The Eighties. Burlington, Ontario, Canada: Collector's Guide Publishing. pp.8–9. ISBN 978-1894959315. Teach Us To Survive is the most proggy entry, with plenty of energy and a jazzy bass line. The lyrics are still utter nonsense but it matters less when the music is at least interesting.

Unlike regular magical powers, these ones don't scale with the number of accessories, and require at least 5 rift accessories to activate. Popoff, Martin. "Accept - Balls to the Wall".

"The vocals were different,Wolf Hoffmann’s guitar was different. And you can see that these guys, along with Judas Priest, were shaping what heavy metal is today. They represent the essence of this music.” The voice of Udo is another acquired taste, but I arrived to it after enjoying equally brilliant vocalists like Mille Petrozza, Rolf Kasparek and Chris Boltendahl. It was never going to stop me enjoying the music! Gary Claydon: I've always thought that if ever a German version of This Is Spinal Tap were made they wouldn't have to look any further than Accept for inspiration for the titular band. It's all there really, the album covers, the song titles, the lyrics (Exhibit A: " Son of a bitch, Kiss my ass"). Up To The Limit is probably the best of them. Wrong Is Right is probably the worst but it’s a tough contest between it and Screaming For A Love Bite which has a hair metal vibe to sit alongside the atrocious lyrics.
