 (5 Customer Reviews)
Many assumed that German rockers Accept would finally break through commercially with their 1986 release, RUSSIAN ROULETTE. Their previous two releases (1984's BALLS TO THE WALL, and 1985's METAL HEART) had built a solid cult following amongst ... Full Descriptionmetalheads stateside, and with such other up-and-coming metal acts as Metallica and Megadeth finding their niche, it seemed that Accept would be next in line.
RUSSIAN ROULETTE has a more commercial feel than its predecessors, perhaps aiming at the pop metal audience that had previously embraced bands like Motley Crue. While the album has its share of highlights ("Heaven Is Hell," "Stand Tight"), the change in direction would prove detrimental; longtime singer Udo Dirkschneider split shortly thereafter to form his own band, UDO, while Accept soldiered on with substitute singers.CD Review - Performance 3 / Sound 7

 AWSOME
I have about 300CD of Heavy Metal and this one is surely in 15 first CDs I got. From openning TV War thru last Stand Tight this CD rolls fast inside your player because it is a very enjoyable one. Highly recommended!!!!

No wonder Udo left after this pathetic attempt to create pop-metal. Every other album before sold me immediately. I tried multiple times to force myself to like it ("It's really good, you just need to give it time!.."), but to no avail. I'd rather play Russian Roulette than have to be forced to listen to this again. I'd give zero stars if it were available.

best heavy metal album ever!
"Russian Roulette" is an incredible metal-opera, tragic and devastating. Accept are at their best with an impressive guitar sound and the harsh-dramatic voice of Udo Dirkschneider. "TV War" is a sarcasthic and brutal vision of the modern world told with speed energy. "Russian Roulette" is pure heavy-titanic metal (what powerful choir!) and "Stand Tight" end this album with an hard march that seems a totaliristic nightmare, telling about slavery and abominion. Every song of the album is a masterpiece. Simply a metal-legend.

Russian Roulette album
 $19.14  
Although many music fans were convinced that Def Leppard would become hard rock's next big band, few could have predicted the massive across-the-boards success that its third record, 1983's PYROMANIA, achieved. Many wondered why it was taking the group so long to release a follow-up to 1981's HIGH 'N' DRY, but the finished product was well worth the wait. Not only did it become one of the year's best-selling albums and made the band instant U.S. arena headliners, but it has remained a consistent seller ever since (by 1994, it had reached nine million units in the U.S. alone).
The songwriting and overall sound was more streamlined and succinct this time around--while there are guitar riffs galore, the songs have more of a pop feel. Founding guitarist Pete Willis left during the recording, replaced by Phil Collen, who fit in perfectly with the band. The album features such mega-hits as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," and "Foolin'," as well as a couple of other tracks that could have easily been singles as well, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" and "Too Late for Love." PYROMANIA remains one of the best and most popular hard-rock recordings of the '80s.

| Obituary Darkest Day CD (2009)
Russian Roulette music CDs
$9.74
The seminal Florida death metal band Obituary returned in 2009 with its eighth studio album. Though ferocious as ever, Obituary sound musically reinvigorated on DARKEST DAYS, allowing the tightly honed chops they developed through the years to truly shine. Drummer Donald Tardy clearly anchors the band, shifting from precision blast beats to genuine grooves. While metalheads will have no trouble banging away to tracks such as "Payback" and "Blood to Give," DARKEST DAYS isn't merely an album of sonic extremes (though it's certainly ton-of-bricks heavy). There are subtle stylisitc shifts throughout ...

Russian Roulette CD music
$12.78
REVELATIONS OF THE BLACK FLAME confounded many long-time 1349 fans and drew tremendous amounts of criticism from the black metal community at large. The issue was that the album marked a significant departure from the pile-driving, ferocious aggression that typified 2005's HELLFIRE. Though the group remained soul-crushingly dark, the tempos were slowed, the sonic palette was expanded, and a new fascination with ambient noise was introduced into the mix. In fact, many songs, such as "Misanthropy" and "Solitude" are not songs at all, but rather sonic collages with a feel similar to ECM Records-style Nordic jazz. Though the group makes reference to its old sound on the blast beat-driven "Serpentine Sibilance" and a few others, a surprising indication of 1349's radical changes is that blackest song of them all is ...

| | Vivian Green Vivian CD (2005)
Russian Roulette CD music
$9.95 
In the three years after Vivian Green released A LOVE STORY, she had a child and fleshed out the neo-soul nuances that made that 2002 debut such a delightful surprise. VIVIAN reflects the Philly native's increased confidence, and exhibits her willingness to incorporate more hip-hop spice into her overall sound. Much as they did on her first record, the trials and tribulations of romance continue to be Green's muse. Chuck Treese's rapid-fire acoustic-guitar riffs spice up the indignation of "Mad," and the sharper beats on the samples lacing "I Like It (But I Don't Need It)" give Green a mix of vulnerability and determination reminiscent of Mary J. Blige.
Green's unwillingness to settle for sub-standard treatment also comes across in the lush but melancholy "Gotta Go Gotta Leave (Tired)." Green also finds plenty of positivity in her love life, though. There's a willingness to make her relationship work amid the swaggering beats and scratching of "All About Us," and a fantasy about having a tryst with her significant other within the swirling ambiance of "Sweet Thing."
Contains an untitled hidden track on track #14.
Personnel: Vivian Green (vocals); Cheryl Stevens (vocals); Junius Bervine, Steve McKie (various instruments); Dave Manley, Clay Sears, Chuck Treese, Ben O'Neil (guitar); Jeff Bradshaw (trombone); James Poyser (piano, keyboards, programming); Christopher Weatherbee ...
