Accept's later years showed a different kind of monster. The twin guitar attack was gone, but guitar god Wolf Hoffmann managed to produce a richer, heavier, meaner more melodic sound. Although Accept's last three studio albums (Objection Overruled, Predator and Death Row) lacked commercial success, they are simply outstanding. They are not commercially oriented like Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart, something that definitely alienates some fans that still longing the mid-80s metal scene.
Playing at its best, this live album demonstrates how an incredibly good band Accept became with the years. Accept never sounded tighter and more powerful than during their last three unheralded albums. We need more music like this today. Thankfully, both Udo and Wolf are still producing great music in their own projects. Final Chapter has an excellent recording sound, and it is definitively a must buy for any real heavy rock fan.
