this is metal folks!.......2007-03-19
believe it brothers and sisters!
ROCK!!!
A Classic Piece Of Metal History!!!.......2006-12-08
That being said,if you are new to the band,let me recommend "Breaker","Balls To The Wall" or "Metal Heart",after those,this is a great place to go. The monster style is all here. Accept truly ROCKS!!!
The Pros:Absolutely one of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard on CD.Even the follow-up "Balls To The Wall" doesn't have quite the awesome guitar crunch this one has. It also has some killer tunes,"Fast As A Shark" has a fantastic guitar solo,the title cut "Restless And Wild" is very catchy,but my favorite tune on this album is "Princess Of The Night" which has some very cool dynamics. As always,Udo is in top form. The combination of Udo on lead vocals and Wolf on lead guitar is really tough to beat. They both did an outstanding job on this,as did the rest of the band!
The Cons:In my opinion,it's a little too fast paced the whole way through the album.If you love aggressive music and nothing but,this is the album for you,but I like the melodic side that the band shows more on other releases better.Also,a lot of the songwriting was not very memorable on this album as opposed to the previous or the follow-up.
The Bottom Line:Great sounding metal album,all producers of rock should listen to these guitar tones and take notes. A great CD to listen to when you are feeling aggressive.One of their 5 best but not the best place to start. If you're a fan,you should definitely buy this. Donutman says so!!!
Accept's best .......2006-06-13
Udo may only be 5 feet tall and have a horrible voice, but man, he sure can scream.
This album + Balls to the Wall = heavy metal heaven.......2006-03-17
It starts out with weird German folk music and quickly seques into weird German screaming. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Anybody at all wanting to find out about this band and to see what a huge influence they were on later European bands should grab this album and Balls to the Wall.
Tracks like Fast As A Shark and the title track just rip. Udo is in fine form and could the guitars get any more synchomeshed. Demons Nihgt and Flash Rockin' Man - I could name just about every track here. Get stuck into it!
Accept's masterpiece.......2005-08-05
'Restless And Wild' is the finest album from Accept, not overrated like 'Balls' is, this was probably as heavy as you could get in 82. The overall feeling of this album is very raw and heavy, yet at the same time melodic because of Wolf Hoffmann's classically influenced guitar chops. Even though the production is somewhat primative, the music more then makes up for it in sheer brutallity, i actually prefer the low qaulity production of this as opposed to the over-produced albums Accept would churn out latter in their career. This album gets a lot of credit for being one of the first "thrash" albums, this is mainly because of the first song "Fast As A Shark", which was one of the fastest tunes of that time period, infact, i don't think there was anything THIS fast or intense by ANY metal band back in the pre-Slayer days. Beyond that song you will find even better ones, like the crunchy title track and the frantic "Ahead Of The Pack". The song "Shake your Head" is average headbanging fair, but ending side-one is the fantastic "Neon Nights", it is my favorite Accept song of all time, very atmospheric and epic. Side-two starts with "Get Ready", a catchy little filler song that is all right, then comes "Deamon's Night" which is probably the most underrated Accept song ever written, it is just so effing heavy and agressive! "Flash Rocking Man" is an Accept staple and got played all of the time in their live sets. "Don't Go Stealing My Soul Away" is a attempt at the charts, i don't like it very much, sounds too much like AC/DC. The final song is "Princess Of The Dawn", it was meant to be a concept song and sounds like nothing else these guys have ever done, it is a great number but i wish the mixing engineer or whoever didn't abruptly cut the song off at the end, kinda ruins the qaulity of it.
I wish they countiued in the direction that this album displayed, it would of been great, instead of trying to become a Scorpions ripp-off band like what they did with their next two albums. I guess the success of the Scorpions became a role- modle for all of the german bands trying to make it big.

Great, but incomplete.......2007-04-04
"They're gonna break their chains".......2005-04-15
Anyway, here are the tracks offered here reviewed by album in its original order:
Restless and Wild (Accept's 4th album, released in 1983):
Restless and Wild is my favorite Accept album and is in my top 10 metal albums of all time list. The first track is the furious "Fast as a Shark," which probably was a precursor to thrash. "Restless and Wild" was the first Accept track I heard and it remains my all-time favorite of theirs. "Balls to the Wall" is intense, but "Restless," to me, packs a heavier punch and Stefan Kaufmann's fast drum work is incredible. "Shake Your Heads" has that slow metal chanting style Accept is known for. The 6:00 "Neon Nights" is incredible! It has a Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith-era sound (of course, this album came out the year before Defenders). Even with those raw, screeching vocals, Udo puts a lot of emotion in this slower yet intense track. The first track here from side two is "Flash Rockin' Man." It is my least favorite track on Restless but that shows how solid this album is as "Flash" is no slouch but is a dark, intense track with a killer guitar riff at the bridge. "Don't Go Stealing My Soul Away" may be the most accessible song on the record as it has a catchy melody. The guitars really drive this track. Like with "Neon Nights," the second side ends with a long (6:27), slower epic song "Princess of the Dawn." It is an incredible track to end one of the best metal albums of all time.
Balls to the Wall (Accept's 5th album, released in 1984):
Germany's answer to Judas Priest begins this album with their most famous and one of their best tracks. "Balls to the Wall" kicks well what the title suggests or, in my case, something else entirely (I'm a metal chick). While I favor "Restless and Wild" as their best track, "Balls" is incredibly intense. "London Leatherboys" got some attention back in the day, especially coupled with the cover artwork and the band photo on the inner sleeve (in vinyl terms). The cover, of course, has a seductive (well, it depends on what you're into) look at a leather-clad man's hairy leg. The inner sleeve shows Udo in his customary military garb surrounded by his shirtless bandmates (I don't think very many people in the world wanted to see a shirtless Udo). Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and drummer Stefan Kaufmann even have their arms linked [these photos were on the Balls to the Wall vinyl release, not necessarily included on this CD]. I'm not speculating on anything here, but hearing the German metal demons chanting "London Leatherboys" is a bit unnerving. Still, the song, musically, is good. Moving on, the rest of the tracks on side one are amazing. "Head Over Heels" is a catchy song. The music doesn't follow the lyrics which are very sexually-driven about a man needing to peep at a couple getting hot and heavy in a dark alley. "Losing More Than You Ever Had" is a slower, more accessible track. Unlike Restless and Wild, which is solid from first track to last, the first half of Balls is much better than the second. "Love Child" probably has the most peculiar lyrics: "Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by" and more directly "Don't know what I am a woman or a man." "Turn Me On" is just a straight up, raw shot to the groin ("I can't wait to get you down on the dirty floor"). "Losers and Winners" is another odd track. It is very harsh lyrically. It is about a man pining after a woman. Udo advises him to write her a letter expressing his feelings. It is a little comical hearing the German metal gods chanting "Write a letter!" Then the tables are turned: "You should give me the letter I'll use it for my own (haha)" and later "Why don't you take it easy and sc**w the girl who's next to you." Wow, rough stuff. While the music takes center stage on side one, the lyrics seem to overpower the music for most of the songs on side two. It ends with "Winterdreams" which has a nice guitar intro and offers a pleasant, calming mood. It is a slow track but with a more uplifting sound than other slow Accept numbers that are almost always dark. It is a nice way to end the metal brutality of Balls to the Wall. Both albums are highly recommended to any fan of metal.

Album Description
Formed in Solingen, Germany in the early 70s by wild and crazy frontman, Udo Dirkschneider, Accept forged their way to the top of the 80s metal ranks with their brutal and heavy riffs and Udo's trademark screeching banshee styled vocal trait. Distinctly original and instantly recognizable, Accept conquered seemingly the entire planet outside the USA. With such classic albums as Restless And Wild, Breaker, I'm A Rebel and Accept finally seeing mid-price status, those Stateside best be keeping their ears open and their balls to the wall!Udo Dirkschneider: "This is surely the most important Accept album. Fast As A Shark is considered by many to be the very first speed metal song written, not to mention the unusual intro (which was sung by a 12 year old Dieter Dierks together with an girl who remains unknown to us). You could say that Princess of the Dawn and Fast as a Shark are considered classics today. With this album, America came calling for the first time ...and the rest is history.
All of the Accept Super Value Re-Release series feature booklets with new liner notes, historical reminiscents and comments by Udo Dirkschneider, never before seen photos and memorabilia. And all at a cool price!
Album Description
Accept's re-issue album was originally released in 1983, on Portrait and it features 10 tracks including 'Neon Nights', 'Demon's Night' & 'Ahead Of The Pack'. 2005.Album Details

The song Restless And Wild was first offered to AC/DC, they declined. Accept (Accepted) it. This is a very good album if you like 'Balls To The Wall', and older Accept.
