ACCEPT Russian Roulette - 2007 remastered Heavy Metal CD w/bonustracks
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2007 Cat. No.: 700714 Label: Sony
By the time they reconvened to record 1986's Russian Roulette, creative differences were beginning to tear German metal stars Accept apart at the seams.
While guitarist Wolf Hoffman wanted to continue pursuing the commercial metal formula first explored with the previous year's Metal Heart, vocalist Udo Dirkschneider defended a return to the harder-edged approach that had characterized the band's uncompromising breakout releases Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall.
The first few songs on Russian Roulette (including the all-out thrash of "T.V. War" and the chugging riff and gang choruses of "Monster Man") are promising enough, and the pounding intensity of "Aiming High" and the familiarly chugging riffery of "Another Second to Be" offer the disc's last real bright spots.
