"These guys are something else. i bought the last release "Man and Machine" and i didnt think theyd be able to top that album. but theyve done it with "Thunderball". An all out Metal masterpiece and not your typical album, from the Russian folk inspired "trainride to Russia" to the title track and power thrasher "Thunderball", U.D.O have tried a bit of experimentation on this one, and it WORKS. Whether your an old Accept fan or a U.D.O fan. this one is worth the price and is a must for the serious metal collection. Up the Irons and keep it metal!!"

"This is even heavier then anything that AccepT has done, i was blown away by the power of this album! i was a BIG AccepT fan but had never got the chance to check out udo dirkshneiders solo project U.D.O. so i decided to pick up ThunderBall,and christ, it's the heaviest freaking thing i have listened to in my life. and i say that after years of listening to metal like AccepT,iron madien,judas preist,slayer,you name it. to think that Mr. dirkshneider is in his early 60's now (i think he's 63) and he's making music this BRUTAL just boggles the mind. this is proof that real metal is not dead, you just might have to go to europe to see bands like U.D.O. play shows though, because i have never seen these guys play in america as of lately."thunderball" "fistful of anger" "hell bites back" "the arbiter" ect are all AccepT inspired metal tunes, you would swear that they got back together and made this album. the song "train ride in russia" is funny as hell! i love it, it should win a grammy! there is singing in russian on this one! as well as the powerful "land of the midnight sun" which is differant then most of udo's songs but is non the less awesome. it's been 20 years after "Balls to the Wall" came out and udo is still kicking major @$$! udo is the real metal god,not like a certain Mr. ozzy osbourne who has become a t.v. sellout, or metallica who have become corprate rock, i'm so glad that there is a true metal warrior out there fighting for us, his name is UDO DIRKSHNEIDER!
