Restless and Wild

Always one of my favorite albums. It was one of the very first albums to introduce double bass drumming and the drummer won an award for his performance. Most people don’t know that.

Accept are one of the most consistent metal bands to ever live, and this is their best album ever. Every subsequent album they've released gets compared to this one for good reason, and that's because this album is where they finally got their signature sound figured out to a formula. On a different note, why aren't their first three albums (Accept, I'm a Rebel, and Breaker) no longer available on iTunes!?

You have a German folk song for an intro with a scratched needle and then in the middle of what many consider the first speed metal song a soaring classically tinged uplifting duel solo this is exactly why to this day just like when I first heard it chills go down my spine, it’s why Metal kills…..

The bottom line is this album is one of the top 3 best Heavy Metal albums ever recorded. Anyone who grew up on British Metal owned this classic piece of treasured vinyl. If it's not in your library, put it there now and relive the greatest tracks ever recorded in Heavy Metal history on one album.

Heard this album live when accept opened for dio in the 80s

Did the Itunes editor really say "the demonic music of Motley Crue and Judas Priest? Hahahaha idiot.

Next to anything Motorhead has ever done.This is probably the best straight ahead heavy metal record ever recorded.It sure takes me back when mom and dad would slam on my bedroom door hollering at me to turn that crap down! Aside from the intro I can still remember all the scratches and the pops on that old vinyl copy. Not only thanks to Accept.Iron Maiden,T.T.Quick,Judas Priest,Merciful Fate and just a whole load of other HM bands that put their stamp on the 80,s.That was the golden age of heavy metal.

I was in high school when this album was first released. It is one of the best albums of the genre and the first track, 'fast as a shark' is a quintessential metal masterpiece. Like thousands of others, I bought the lp and went into freak out mode when I thought the needle was sliding down the album. Lol:) One of the greatest intros ever. Every song on this album is solid. The guitar work is some of metals' best to offer. Gibson flying V's through cranked up Marshalls.

Was listening to this the other day and had to get a digital copy. 1983... sheesh, stands the test of time.

Wow, in 1983 few bands rocked this hard and even fewer still had such an instantly recogniseable vocal styling as that of one Udo Dirkschneider, standing at about 4 and a half feet, how does one pack such a wailing voice into such a modestly sized body? Its just one of rocks enduring mysteries. The guitar intro to Neon Nights is still one of my favorite riffs of all time. In an era where most bands were singing about their enstranged girlfriends Accept was bringing the METAL, fast and furious! In my humble opinion this album was thier opus, although not as best selling as their embarrasing Generation Clash, wich foolishly featured some other un-noteworthy singer, pound for pound this was Accept at their finest.
