Genre: heavy metal

One of the things that define Accept is Udo Dirkschneider's voice, and his absence on "Eat the Heat" is probably problematic to many metal fans. Vocalist David Reece who performs on this album is certainly not a bad vocalist in any way, but, while Dirkschneider's voice is quite unique (althought slightly reminiscent of that of Brian Johnson), Reece's vocals are very typical of run-of-the-mill 80s heavy metal. While he certainly is a good vocalist, he does not contribute anything original to "Eat the Heat", which comes off as an average 80s heavy metal album, compared to many of Accept's other albums. The music itself is also very much typical 80s heavy metal music.

Overall, it's a good 80s metal album which I certainly enjoy listening to, but as an Accept album, it is somewhat lacking. I think fans of traditional heavy metal will love this album, but if you're looking for originality, you should go for "Balls to the Wall" or some of the other early Accept releases.
