After more than twenty years in the business it’s clear that you should not expect a drastic change in style from Mr. Dirkschneider but he's made another excellent album.  So fans of the old Accept can buy this album without hesitating.

True to his style this is a traditional metal album (mainly) with some very catchy tunes, take for instance Doom Ride.  And, although totally different, Stillness Of Time reminds me a lot of Princess of the Dawn.  But, surprise surprise, the next song Devil's rendezvous is a real funny song, either I'm growing old and going mad, or not? I mean, this song even makes me want to jump up and start to dance...
Now that Udo has declined to join forces with his old Accept (ex)-comrades again, we’ll have to wait if the reformed Accept – if and when they ever reform that is – will be able to churn out an album that’s as good as this is, or as good as the old Accept albums (meaning the first three of four of course, after that there was a decline in quality).
