4.0 excellentjust Gary CONTRIBUTOR | May 25th 23

Bangers after bangers...impressive!! Songs like "Of Unsound Mind" should be listed among the best heavy metal songs ever. (That particular one radiates totally a "Painkiller"-like energy, similar even, but released just a year earlier!)

5.0 classicResident Metalhead Piranha | May 31st 17

The mighty David Wayne left, but then Metal Church received a net gain in the form of Mike Howe. Perhaps among the best metal vocalists out there, his vocals are commanding and powerful and are the highlight of any album he's on, especially this one. Arguably my favorite MC album, Blessing In Disguise is home to band classics "Badlands," "Fake Healer," and "Anthem of The Estranged" and is filled with impressive variety. "Of Unsound Mind," "It's a Secret," and "Cannot Tell You a Lie" bash you with a merciless onslaught of riffs while "Rest In Pieces" and "the Spell Can't Be Broken" effectively build atmosphere and tension, and "The Powers That Be" closes the album on an enlightening mood. Undoubtedly a genre classic.

Although it failed to put Metal Church in the first league, Blessing in Disguise is one of the most impressive
power/thrash records ever conceived in the 80's.
