A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by Ray Paul: Its quite staggering how many bands never even got off the ground in the late 70's and 80's due to record company problems, and it seems Mass can be included in that list. Problems with A&M records in the early 80's all but stopped the band in their tracks despite selling 10,000 units of their 4 song EP in the Boston area alone! What we have here is a collection of songs gathered together under the title of 'Fighter' put together by Christian record label Retroactive Records. Now don't let the Christian side of it sway your opinion, though there are certainly influences from Stryper, but also the likes of Iron Maiden and Angel! Having Judas Priest's Tom Allom handling production duties gives the guitar sound a crystal cutting edge that tears out the speakers and helps this release rise above the average.
