I remember seeing some of the guys from Barren Cross on that Morton Downey Jr. Show on Heavy Metal/Rock music.

I thought these clean cut guys with bad hair were a bit out of place amongst the New Yawk attitude's n' mouth's of Ace Frehely, Circus Of Power, Cycle Sluts From Hell, Joey Ramone, Scott Ian etc.

You mean you remember you saw it on YouTube? You're to young to have seen it when it was aired! :lol I used to have it on VHS, but the clip is on YouTube now.

Oh, and I like Vanishing Lessons too. It's not really the same as the first 3, but it's still a good album.

In Christian metal, it doesn't get much better than BC! 10/10

9.5/10!

See, we nearly agreed again! Keep trying, SF, and you'll eventually get it.

Rock for the King is a bit on the cheesy side, but then I don't mind a bit of cheese on my meat, or on my metal!

Rock For The King contains my all time favorite cheesy lyric in the history of metal, Christian or non, in the song "Believe":

"Better than pot, JEEEEEEEESUS ROOOOOOOCKS!!!!"

Twenty-odd years after I first heard it, I still chuckle whenever I hear that lyric

Bumpin' an oldie here, but I'm listening to STATE OF CONTROL for the first time in awhile and the song "Inner War" also has a lyric that has always made me chuckle: "...when I don't sin, baby, I'm satisfied."

Atomic arena is really good, but the best is state of control, no buts about it.

I never got the one years after State of Control with Mike Lee singing (or Mike D.R.I.V.E for the politically correct)

Is it any good? Comparing it to Atomic Arena and State of Control albums? Those first two albums were so good.

Now that I think of it, I never got the one before Atomic Arena either.

Great band I love all the releases of this band except maybe "rattle your cage". It sounds a little "weak" in my ears...
