ACCEPT is a Japanese Progressive Unit (not a German Heavy metal). Basically all instruments are played by one person. But it sounds like a band-playing. This album, "TAIJI -confrontation-"(2012) is a total concept album that consists of 14 tracks in about 60 minutes. In this musical journey, ACCEPT tries to let the listeners to know that there are so many silent echoes and unspoken voices in their blood. He says " Find the stones in your blood"; find out the invisible chains and bonds that have been made in the flow of times. And it's important to realize the unconscious desire to be yourself and to confront this world blocked desperately. Throw your stones straight into the sky beyond the five staves! As it comes to the end of this story, a hopeful light comes closer. The darkest night is followed by the first light.
In this album, ACCEPT used less-synthesizers and drum sounds but more guitars and MEMOTRON. The texture of the sound is so-called symphonic rock, but in this 3rd album, ACCEPT turned out "The Pan-Music" that is not limited to the frame of Progressive Rock.
