(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 metalheads 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.

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!!!! Submitted by Nedim (Atlanta, GA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
awsome this is accepts best since balls to the wall. Its really songs like monsterman and aiming high that just rock hard i definatly encourge a true metal head to purchase this Submitted by luke rules (''windsor, california, usa'') Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Avoid 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. Submitted by Mike (Hondo, TEXAS, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
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.

| | Cinderella Night Songs CD (1986)
Russian Roulette songs
$6.55 Featuring a minor guest appearance by Jon Bon Jovi, Cinderella's debut album, Night Songs, positions the band as a second-tier pop-metal outfit, with a mix of ballads ("Nobody's Fool") and rockers ("Somebody Save Me") one might find on an album by any similar '80s band with a high-pitched vocalist. It's not bad, just generic; the band does hint at the potential it would fulfill on later albums, but little of Cinderella's own personality shows through at this point. ~ Steve Huey
Jon Bon Jovi discovered this Pennsylvania band, whose album is filled with the kind of catchy pop-metal his own band plays. Produced by Andy Johns. ~ John Book
Recorded at Bearsville Recording Studios, Bearsville, New York; Kajem Studios, Gladwyn, Pennsylvania; Warehouse Studios and Sigma Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; The Sound Factory, Los Angeles, California.

| | Three Days Grace Life Starts Now CD (2009)
Russian Roulette album
$12.95 The third studio album from Canadian arena rockers Three Days Grace treads familiar ground, presenting 12 slabs of the kind of reliable, accessible, and serviceable hard rock that will always have an audience. 2006's ONE-X dealt heavily with vocalist Adam Gontier's personal demons, a theme that continues on LIFE STARTS NOW, albeit with a hint of sunlight. With a sound that lands somewhere in between Breaking Benjamin, Collective Soul, and Godsmack--Gontier sounds like a less volatile Trent Reznor--LIFE STARTS NOW treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems ("Break," "Bully") and world-weary, midtempo rockers ("World So Cold," "Last to Know" that are so painfully earnest that one can almost hear director Michael Bay pitching them to the studio for inclusion on the soundtracks for his next ten TRANSFORMERS sequels.

| | Good Times, Bad Times: 10 Years Of Godsmack CD (2007) With DVD
Russian Roulette CD music
$10.45 Often touted as heirs to the throne vacated by late-1980s/early-'90s metal royalty, Godsmack came up in Salem, Massachusetts with a sound that captured the technical heaviness of Metallica and the moody dynamics of Alice In Chains. GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES is a fitting retrospective of the band's recorded works, including all of Godsmack's highly successful singles, which propelled the group to the top of the nu-metal heap. This package includes a previously unreleased Led Zeppelin cover (hence the set's title), as well as a companion DVD disc featuring a live unplugged-style performance.
Includes 75 Minute DVD Of Acoustic Performance Filmed At The Hard Rock Hotel In Las Vegas.

| | Vivian Green Vivian CD (2005)
Russian Roulette CD music
$7.59 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.
