Accept
I’m a Rebel
Genre: Glam vs. Metal
1.5 out of 5
Accept is a weird band.
They start out terribly and get marginally better until they blow the doors off in 1986 and then revert back to their aggressive mediocrity.
We are in 1980 so they haven’t figured it out yet.
I heard a glam rock aesthetic at war with a desire to be a lurchingly metal experience but unable or unwilling to shed one in favor of the other.
Also, the mix is terrible. At times all I can hear are the vocals and the lead guitar which comes across as hollow.
