Screaming for metal...

Genre: traditional heavy metal

"Metal Heart" is probably not as good nor as important as "Balls to the Wall", but it is still a great metal album, which certainly has deserved its status as a rock music classic.

The album is teeming with all those elements that make for good traditional 80s metal, such as catchy choruses, catchy and energetic guitar riffs, solos which are both chaotic and virtuosic, pumping bass patterns and a big reverb-ladden drum sounds (and, of course, everything is on the brink of being drowned in reverb, which is one of the few things I don't like about 80s metal).

In any case, fans of traditional heavy metal should love this album, and I think that fans of power metal and, perhaps, also glam metal might appreciate it since, Accept do also draw musically on those two genres to some extent.
