With their 17th full-length studio outing metal legends Accept keeps things on the level with another solid, balls to the wall opus. With no real surprises, Humanoid<\/em> dishes out great dollops of steel, memorable choruses, sharp riffs, and decent lyrics. Let’s also not forget that Accept can still rattle off waves of speed metal too, anthemic hymns and even a semi-ballad with \u2018Ravages Of Time\u2019.<\/p>\n

The world in which the combo exists may seem all too grey and metallic at times, and that\u2019s just that efficient German dynamism, but there are some top notch tracks on offer here, with my personal favourites being \u2018Nobody Gets Out Alive\u2019, \u2018Man Up\u2019 and \u2018Frankenstein\u2019 which boasts a killer chorus. In fact, most of the album is a force to be reckoned with as closer \u2018Southside Of Hell\u2019 speeds with real purpose and a fine way to end the opus.<\/p>\n

This is simply consistent heavy metal that rocks hard at whichever pace it chooses, and yes, we do know what\u2019s coming and a couple of tracks \u2013 \u2018Unbreakable\u2019 and \u2018Straight Up Jack\u2019 \u2013 are rather unspectacular, but \u2018Mind Games\u2019 is an absolute cruncher.<\/p>\n

Accept mainman Wolf Hoffmann remains the star here with his exceptional riffs and his 15 year partnership with current vocalist Mark Tornillo is crucial to the band\u2019s longevity. Humanoid<\/em> is another solid and occasionally reflective record that will please the die-hards.<\/p>\n
