I picked up "New Birth" a while back, was not impressed...but I've been listening to some clips from "Sea of Black" and find them to be quite impressive! Metal 1

I like MASS, and they were really cool guys to hang out with at Skull Fest two years ago.

I think Sea Of Black is very good...

Their early material sounds like generic hair/glam, where as this has some teeth to it...

I am also a big fan of Sea of Black, even tough there are many slow songs on it. However, New Birth is their best release ever. I am surprised you didn't like it. Also, the Unchained EP is highly recommended.

Lets keep an eye out for this band as they are recording a new album.

"New Birth" is just too dated for me, too cheesy glam/hair metal, not my thing...

I agree and I like me some hair metal.  But I like most of Mass's stuff.  Sea of Black is solid - same with Crack of Dawn.  Looking forward to new music from them.

Just sounds like a different band on "Sea of Black" from "New Birth", different direction for sure!

I enjoy their stuff, but REALLY enjoy "Voices in the Night"...my favorite of theirs by a wide margin.  Perhaps it has something to do with the Stryper influence, as Michael Sweet produced that one and he and Oz Fox played a little on it, but they songs are really well done.

This is their chessiest álbum, for sure. I kind of like it, but it is my least favorite álbum by them. I had to listen to it a lot of times to get into it.

They certainly have evolved a lot as time passed by. I see Sea of Black as a very solid release.

If you're more of a fan of the hair metal scene, I could see folks liking the older material better, but other than a handful of lp's, I am not. Stryper was a lot heavier than most hair metal bands from back in the day, if not the heaviest...

I think their Take You Home EP is pretty heavy and has some good riffs.

The problem w/Mass is that they have no Candle...

You should check out their 1982 album "Fighter". It was produced by Tom Allom (who worked with Judas Priest and some other bands) and KICKS!!!

A few of the songs were rerecorded for "new birth", but the versions on "fighter" are much less commercial.

I couldn't find any youtube clips, but you can listen to samples on amazon.com

I like their 80s stuff, mainly New Birth and Take You Home. But then, I'm a sucker for 80s glam/hair metal, dated or not.

Nice!  Guess I'm in the minority here, but that's cool.  Love the sound of this album!
