Accept - The Reckoning. What can I say…. aCcEPT = CoPy-PAisT.

I'll be honest. To my ears, both songs so far that have been released from the new album are meh at best. I actually liked "The Undertaker" going back to when it was initially released, and I really enjoy the entire "Too Mean to Die" album. However, these first two singles from "Humanoid" just put me to sleep. As Stas mentions, they really are copy-pasted from countless other Accept songs and melodies, and the lyrical territory has already been done to death by Mark in previous songs. I am not getting a good vibe so far about this album at all. I hope I end up being proven wrong when it can be heard in its entirety, but I'm not going to hold my breath...

I agree with you guys! These songs don’t give me high hopes. TMTD was excellent album, but this does not look promising at all.
My biggest fun while watching the video was to find Martin there. He was very well hidden! Uwe was in the spotlight surprisingly often!

He was very well hidden! Uwe was in the spotlight surprisingly often! Maybe this was mostly Uwe's song ( composed by him) and that is why he was on the front more than normally. I like(d) the title song after multiple listenings. But I am not so fond of the newest single. Somehow I got the Grave Digger feel of this new song.

I didn't really like Too Mean to Die either. These two songs from Humanoid are too boring to me. I really don't get the hype around them. If this Reckoning was written by Uwe (as mika says) then there's a big problem. I expected much more from him. By the way I don't feel the Grave Digger touch in the song. In my opinion it perfectly fits to the other typical modern era Accept songs.

I remember not liking "The Undertaker" at all before TMTD and then loving the album. So far the new singles have been decent and far from something that would have me worried.

TBH I like both tracks, Humanoid is a bit different and I love the solos. The Reckoning Just kicks ass.

To my taste this is 100 times bettter than UDO stuff...But it is no problem for me to accept different opinions.

I want Accept so sound like Accept...not like the albums Eat The Heat or Predator. I can understand that not all will like the same old, same old things. I myself was not happy with Game Over and Touchdown by UDO: the sound world was again bad and I could not find enough relations to what UDO has been with their near history records. Edit: Apart from Rev-Raptor sound. But yeah....we have always been happy for each other.

I must again say: there are only two songs released...The record company does not alwaya do the right choices.
For examples my absolute fave songs from TMTD album are: Sucks to be You and The Best Is Yet To Come. Thses songs were not released as singles.

Each successive album has been a bigger let down. Not looking forward to this.
