I'm a Rebel

I'm a Rebel is the second studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 (see 1980 in music).

The album finds Accept continuing to search for their musical direction, experimenting with a more commercial sound than on their debut.

Bassist Peter Baltes once again sings lead vocals on two tracks, the slower-paced songs "No Time to Lose" and "The King".

These international versions both depict a sword hilt on the cover, a more identifiably "heavy metal" image than the original German cover, which has a doorway-type shape encasing the band members superimposed on a picture of a crowded city street (possibly a reference to the Spanish film The Telephone Box).

The Passport version simply titles the record Accept, as the band's 1979 self-titled debut had not been released in America.
