With their 1984 release, the pleasantly titled BALLS TO THE WALL, German metallists Accept set their sights on the last frontier the band had yet to conquer--America. Like their contemporaries the Scorpions, who also specialized in hard rock and hailed from Germany, Accept started out as a straight up heavy metal band, but as the '80s wore on, softened their high volume sound with a dose of melody.
While BALLS TO THE WALL introduced Accept to whole new legion of fans stateside, it wasn't the huge US smash they'd hoped for. Still, BALLS remains one of Accept's best releases, spawning the dark yet anthemic title track, as well as the screamalong ditties "London Leatherboys" and "Love Child."
After years of building up a reputation in Europe and Japan the German Metal Masters finally make their US debut and this is the perfect album to do it. Toning down slighty the rough & ready edge of earlier efforts of 'Breaker' & 'Restless & Wild' and with simplfied song writing featuring big riffs & catchy choruses this is the album that made Accept a household name. The first two tracks are stone cold metal classics 'Balls to the Wall' & 'London Leatherboys', the rest while not quite up to same standard they aren't far behind. This remastered version features 2 bonus live tracks from the Kaizoku Ban/Live in Japan EP
