Are Wanna Be Free, The Curse and Bloodbath really your faves? They cannot be, 'cause they are my favourites, too. 200 Years and Dark Side Of My Heart plus Dying Breed are the ones I like, too. Other songs are fillers for my taste. Change Dying Breed to Fall of the Empire and here we go! All in all I like the whole stuff, except Stampede, Dying Breed and Thrown to the Wolves.

Ha-ha, that's great It's just another prove that BlindRage is real Accept . Second to none. There's nothing strange here, that's natural, Yes, it's just it's rare that mika and I agree in anything

This one kinda disappointed me, mostly due to the weaker choruses that were just dropped into songs. It's like they wanted to make a whole album of "Shadow Soldiers" which was a track I always skipped on Stalngrad. That said, "Dying Breed" has really grown on me but I don't ever have the desire to hear "Fall of the Empire", "200 Years" or "From the Ashes We Rise" ever again.

I like the album very much, but I do have mutual feeling about the songs Fall Of The Empire and From The Ashes We Rise.

I still think that Blind Rage is the strongest of the thrre albums they've made with Mark.

i don't. i just don't hear songs that can stand up to TT, Rolling Thunder, Pandemic, or No Shelter, even New World Comin'. if i could keep only one of the 3 albums, i'd keep BOTN.

Btw, there is a poll via Accept Facebook and there the leader is BOTN. To me the order is 1)BOTN, 2) Blind Rage and 3) Stalingrad.

I agree with you Mika and John. I hold BOTN as the strongest, then Blind Rage, and Stalingrad. I remember when BOTN came out, U.D.O. said something to the effect of he expected it to be good, they had 15 years to write it. Lets see how the one is after that. He was right. Follow ups are always much harder to write. Although, I like both Stalingrad and Blind Rage, even together they don't compare to BOTN. My 2 cents.

no doubt. here's how i'd rank the 3 albums.
1. BOTN . . . . . 2 & 3. - the others.
after all this time, i still listen to BOTN. i don't think i even own stalingrad and i haven't even opened blind rage although i probably should because i think i have the edition with the dvd. i'm not really sure. to be perfectly honest about these last two albums, it seems like the only person who put any creative effort into them was Mark. seems like everybody else was just along for the ride.

John, you should give them a listen. Stalingrad has some good cuts, Hellfire comes to mind. Stalingrad and BR are not regarded as good as BOTN only because BOTN raised the bar high much like Decadent is to Steelhammer now. At the end of the day, it is still Accept, and U.D.O. and anything from them is better than most of what else is out there currently. Stalingrad and BR still have some classic Wolf riffs.

Tough call for me...while BOTN is a fantastic album...I still skip tracks like "Kill the Pain". Then with Stalingrad, while overall weaker, I don't feel the need to skip anything until "The Galley". That said, the song "Stalingrad" is probably my favorite Tornillo-Accept song, and I'd rather hear it than any BOTN track.

And to me BOTN is the most coherent Accept album there is, not a single bad track like every other album has.
