Not too bad! It grows on you.

"It's not original, but keeping true to metal.



I am not too knowledgable on this band, but what gather is that this is a reunion-type album with Dave Wayne. He died only a few months ago! This is the only album I've heard, but if this is their last album together -- they did a pretty good job!



I was surprised how good the writer Kurdt Vanderhoof was! Brillant writer. These guys could talk about anything and make a bad situation cool! :)



It's sounds like a lot like Metallica in some ways (if you forget about the screechy voice!), but when you listen to more tracks, you realize it's more or less a continuation of Metallica -- something they should have done instead of brought that very ordinary Snake/Black Album.



They seem to be more well-blanced with lyrics -- kinda more like Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickinson in this department.



His voice takes a while to getting use to. This band is still kinda new to me, but I am sure I'll be getting more albums from these metal men soon! :)



Let me say goodbye to Dave. It won't suffer anymore so REST IN PEACE."
Masterpeice indeed

"Being a Metal Church fan from the begining, this album ranks high among my favorites. At this point in their career, I had given up hope of ever hearing a Vanderhoof/Wayne line-up again, yet here it was. Masterpeace is a fine polished slab of metallic brillience.

So what if it isn't the face melting onslought as the first album, this is a beautifully crafted work of metal, and a great portrait of a gracefully aging power metal band. I have bought several copies of this album to give to some of my younger 'metal head' freinds. 'Faster Than Life' is one of the finest Metal Church songs ever, right up there with 'Beyond the Black', 'Metal Church' and 'Method to Your Madness'. Miss you Dave."

"this was the reunion album with original singer from the first 2 albums. Some catchy parts here and there, along with some good guitar solos, but the unique dark thrashing energy and songwriting of the early metal church is not very present. Sounds like megadeth in spots. Also the vocalists voice has changed over time...he sounds like Saxon vocalist Biff Byford on this."
