Accept - Russian Roulette
Saturday, October 18, 2008
I was never a *huge* fan of this album back in the day. And yes, I was a fan of the band before this album came out. I wasn't head over heals about 'Metal Heart' either. :)
I put this CD in the player today (10/08) and I will say it hasn't lost much heaviness in 25 years. There are some good tunes and some less than good ones but all thing considered it's not lost any luster.
Now, on to my point... The song 'Walking In The Shadow' I always considered, from day one in 1986, a song about "the wall" - the Berlin Wall. Being an American of German extraction I dreamed of reunification for years before it really happened and the one and only anthem I had was this song. Now, almost 20 years later it's hard to recreate that feeling, other than cranking up this particular song.
Uber Alles!!! (And I mean that in a good way, not in a stupid right-wing, skinhead way).
