Accept Balls To The Wall (1983) (1990, Rca, ND 74472)

Accept's "All Areas – Worldwide" captures the Teutonic heavy metal legends firing on stage on all cylinders. Featuring live recordings made on their 1993 "Objection Overruled" tour and 1994 "Death Row" tour, this is a unique snapshot of a band at their peak, reunited with inimitable vocalist Udo Dirkschneider. "All Areas – Worldwide" also serves as an impressive live greatest hits collection, featuring the classics ‘London Leatherboys’, ‘Breaker’, ‘Princess Of The Dawn’, ‘Restless And Wild’, ‘Son Of A Bitch’, ‘Metal Heart’, ‘Fast As A Shark’ plus an epic 11 minute version of ‘Balls To The Wall’.

"Symphonic Terror" was recorded live at wacken 2017 in front of 80.000 people. The set was split up in three party. The first part contained 4 tracks: the world premier of "Die By The Sword", the live-premier of "Koolaid" and two classics "Restless And Wild" and "Pandemic". On the second part, Wolf Hofmann presents his best tracks from his solo album "Headbangers Symphony". He and a full symphonic orchestra presented klassik songs by Mozart of Beethoven in a new metal way. After that, ACCEPT played a full classic set together with the orchestra, so be prepared for two hours of true spectacular symphonic heavy metal !

Originally released in the mid-'80s, Hungry Years has been reissued, re-released, and remastered many times in many countries. The most common American version perhaps being the 1995 Castle issue. Short and to the point, Hungry Years includes some of the best selections from Accept's early catalog, including I'm a Rebel, Breaker, and the metal classic Restless and Wild. Rightfully, nothing is selected from the group's woeful eponymous 1979 debut. All three songs culled from Restless and Wild – including the title track, "Princess of the Dawn," and "Fast as a Shark" – are career highlights for Accept, not just the early era covered on Hungry Years.

This live album, recorded in various locations around the world, has Accept playing various material throughout their career. The first disc has their older 80's stuff and songs off of Objection Overruled. Also, it has "Too High to Get It Right", which wasn't on their previous live release, so that was cool to hear. The second disc focuses on their Death Row album. This album once again has Accept playing as a four-piece, but a lot of the songs that they recorded live were originally recorded with five members.
