Man, this is one of those albums you’re almost pre-conditioned to hate. I mean, Accept without Udo – how is that even possible? Well, we eventually learned that is quite possible, but in 1989 a lot of fans viewed Accept’s sixth album with scorn. And some of that is deserved.

First off, let’s be clear that new singer David Reece did a rock solid job here. He brought a powerful voice to the band, and could do a passable Udo rasp when necessary. The fault with Eat the Heat is in the direction the band took. They, like a lot of other metal bands at the time, tried to cash in on the hair metal scene’s popularity. That meant poppier songs, bigger hair and pissed off fans of Teutonic German heavy metal.

As hair metal albums go, Eat the Heat is pretty decent. It’s no worse than the average Krokus or Quiet Riot disc, but doesn’t ever get to the glammy charm that L.A. Guns and Skid Row had. Still, if you can be objective about it, the album does have some fun songs.

It’s hard to tell whether this album or I’m a Rebel is Accept fans’ least favorite disc. It may not be a high point in their career, but it’s still worth a listen. Fans of Reece’s later work in Bangalore Choir in particular ought to give Eat the Heat a try.
