"Here's a long-awaited collection from one of the hottest bands from the East Coast. Mass has their own sound while still reminding you of other great hard rock bands (mostly 80's) like Ratt, Motley Crue, Stryper, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Europe, White Lion, Dokken, and Scorpions. The best tracks on here of course are the cuts from their "Voices in the Night" album. Michael Sweet (Stryper's frontman) produced that album and it's very Stryperized. "Reach for the Sky" should have been a hit because it's just as good as anything released in the hard rock hayday of the late 80's. It's pure melodic heaven. "Turn it all Around" is a shredder and features extremely impressive guitar work, not to mention one of the highest notes any male singer ever hit at the end of the tune. "A Chance to Love" is a beautiful and haunting ballad that's simply amazing. If you haven't ever heard Mass you are really missing out. This CD packs quite a punch. If you miss this kind of music, you won't regret ordering this one. Don't let the name of the band fool you. It's not religious music, just good uplifting rock 'n roll that sounds best at full volume."
