eyerock36 Tracy McShane's vocals were quite excellent on this release, which is the most mainstream rock release of Mastermind's career. They've been more progressive on other releases (i.e. Until Eternity), more metal (i.e. Angels...), more eclectic (i.e. Excelsior!). This album, Insomnia, is very well conceived and produced rock with a metallic gothic sheen to it; very satisfying and something the members can be proud of.
