Hi,

I just updated Angelic Warlord to include a review of the new Jeff Scheetz Band album, "Behind The Mask". Following is the link: http://www.angelicwarlord.com/reviews/s/jeffscheetzband08.html

Thanks,

Andy

Cool Andy, I will read your review.

I got this album about a week ago, and tend to agree with Andy's assesment.
It might have been a bit better if some of the "weaker" tracks had been left off.
Musically it is fantastic, lyrically it is not very bold (in terms of faith).
Not a bad album.

I agree that "Behind The Mask" has some really great songs but at close to seventy minutes of music it can be a bit too much- almost overwhelming. It has been my experience that not often a band can nearly fill up an 80 minute CD and still keep my attention. Some can do it (Thieves & Liars and Seventh Avenue both come to mind) while others cannot.

If the album had been cut to its ten best songs then I probably would have given it a grade in the 85% range.

I believe that "Hallelujah" is the albums most boldest cut lyrically.
