Been playing a lot of the old classics lately, especially lots of Savatage, WASP, Riot, etc, so I figured I'd spin 'Metal Church' for the first time in a short age. I still just don't quite get this album. Decent band. Decent songwriting. Nothing much to complain about. But I just don't hold it in ...
