A review by
Jeff March 07, 2007
One cannot say that the releases of Sinner are synonym of originality. Actually, the band plays since the beginning of its career a mix of Hard Rock/Hard FM and Heavy Metal (you'll be able to understand why I can say that when you'll ear the sound of the guitars, especially during the soli). It's not so hard to find similar releases and yes, when you'll listen to "Mask Of Sanity", you'll probably say to yourself that you've heard it all before, though with a bit of honesty, you'll probably say to yourself too that it's not unpleasant to listen to the album.
That's a bit strange, when I listen to "Mask Of Sanity" I have two different feelings. On a side I really think that it's a good album of Hard Rock with catchy songs but on the other hand, it's also really basic and conventional so it can become a bit boring at the end. Actually, it will depend of your capacity to listen to a music which is not bad but not original too. "Mask Of Sanity" is all but not unpleasant but it's not really special too?
With "Mask Of Sanity", Mat Sinner and his band mates release a good album of Hard Rock which will satisfy the fans of the bands. It's nothing special and really classic but in the style it's a good release so if you're looking for something like that, if you want good Hard Rock then just have a look on the last Sinner.

this album is ok - I can only think of one word for it though, and that is 'average' iaberis? & and ANYONE wanting to get into Sinner: PLEASE dont start with his new stuff - his 80's and early 90's albums are SO SO good!!! much better then the stuff he is putting out now seriously - please try 'Touch Of Sin' 'Dangerous Charm' and 'No More Alibis' - they are fantastic and totally underrated..

So, finally I gave this album a try and it's very good. It has many great songs that vary from Hard Rock to Heavy Metal. It reminded me the sound of Lordi from time to time, but only in the music section... It's in my "to buy list" for sure.
