Anyone who knows me knows that
I love Accept. This is their first release since their Restless and Live live album (see the review here), and their fourth
studio album with Mark Tornillo on
lead vocals.
Accept have clearly been adhering to the rule of 'If it ain't
broke, don't fix it' over recent years. They know what the fans want, and
that's exactly what they deliver. They have a winning formula in play, largely
thanks to producer Andy Sneap who
has produced the last four studio albums. Andy
Sneap obviously 'gets' Accept,
and produces them in such a way that they sound absolutely how a fan would
want them to sound in 2017. This record is, once again, crisp, powerful, and
contemporary, but without compromising their classic Heavy Metal sound at all.
Again, there are no surprises
here. It's another Accept album, and
sounds exactly as one would expect. However, this collection of songs is
particularly strong. I'd say it's slightly better than Stalingrad and Blind Rage,
but not quite as good as Blood Of The
Nations, although there's not much in it.
All of the songs are great,
but my personal favourites are Die By
The Sword, Koolaid and Analog Man. All in all, The
Rise Of Chaos is another success for Accept,
and a fine addition to their wonderful legacy.
