Breaker is the third album by the heavy metal band Accept .
Emergence
The album was recorded again in the Delta studio in Wilster with the production of Dirk Steffens. It was the first Accept album that Michael Wagener worked on. Bassist Peter Baltes sings the lead vocals on Breaking Up Again and Midnight Highway . The album title later became the name of Udo Dirkschneider's own record company, Breaker Records . All compositions are written by Accept.
reception
Rock Hard magazine put Breaker at 135th in its 500-track best list. Götz Kühnemund wrote that the band had set “new standards in terms of hardness”. You have never heard “such cutting guitars” before, not even from Iron Maiden , Judas Priest or Motörhead . Dirkschneider's voice was also unique. On the album there is "not a single weak song".
censorship
The Japanese and UK releases of the album (by Polystar and Castle Classics) contain a censored version of the song "Son of a Bitch", in which the lyrics of the song have been replaced by less obnoxious ones (refrain: "Born to be whipped") .
