Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

Often rated as a "bad" album but I kinda like it...Some exciting arrangements from time to time...

From: CC	Date: October 20, 2003 at 21:37
The title track is easily my fave Lizzy song ever,the rest of the songs are standard Lizzy fair really!

Sadly overproduced album that tries so hard you want it to work, but at the end of the day you just have to be honest with yourself and admit defeat.

I still like Menace to Society better, but this is by no means a bad album. Just a different style to it...hey it could be worse, it's not grunge...

Great album. Not as raw as the other Lizzy releases but very good and my favorite Lizzy album. Pick this one up!

From: Julius	Date: October 1, 2004 at 10:26
Yes, it's different, but a great album anyway. 'Master of disguise', the song, is a Borden classic.

This is a very good release, i prefer visual lies, but lizzy experiments here and he pulls it off, these songs would be heavier live and still kick some ass, personal faves are- love is a crime, be one of us and we got the power. lizzy shows his talent here at songwriting and shows a diversity and talent for songwriting that many others would like but lack, good one lizzy.

A bunch of guest musicians,horns,weak songwriting,stupid f**king gospel choir background vocals ???--I personally remember this one being a huge dissapointment when it came out.Disguise' is just an experimental solo album (which i don't need).The title track was always the one bright spot here along with David Micheal Philips' playing.I heard Lizzy' awhile back and he seemed to be in love with that ultra-heavy downtuned bullsh*t guitar sound thats popular today-Hopefully that sh*t will end .

I'm not familiar with Lizzy's body of work but I gave this one a go. I really liked the musical quality of the disc and 'Love is a crime' was a cool slab of commercial hard rock, but overall this was just IMO decent well played hard rock - nothing special.

I saw Lizzy on this tour even though I wasn't really a fan at the time (I was dragged along by a friend who was a Lizzy diehard and didn't want to go alone) and I have to admit he/they put on one helluva show. It was pretty cool to see so many fists in the air during "Me Against The World." I guess this was Lizzy's attempt at doing a big-time rock opera/concept album, the results are kinda mixed but at least the show turned me into a fan and I checked out some of their other albums afterwards..

La etapa mas comercial de este personaje, por ende la que mas me gusta. Temazos como MASTER...,LOVE IS THE CRIME, ONE FALSE MOVE, PSYCHODRAMA, UNDER THE ROSE, hacen de este disco uno de mis favoritos de siempre.

This is nearly a masterpiece! Different yeah but great anyway. Lizzy rules! 94/100

i'd never actually heard of lizzy at the time(can't say they got much play in australia)but a cousin had a whole heap of metal blade label tapes given to him so he gave me this one to listen to as he thought i'd like it.like it! i fucking loved itthe title track i think may just be his best song great guitars and superb vocals from start to finnish i think it's very underrated and we got the power should've been a big 80's hit i also love the way he sings never too young got my hands on the cd the 25th anniversary on with the dvd so even better watching what went on in making the album

My second fav. after Visual Lies. Really good cd.

From: aorluver	Date: July 3, 2011 at 11:34
Master of Disguise 7:22 and not boring for a single second Still it gets better and better as it draws to the end UNCANNY

very good release by LIZZY BORDEN!in this one things have lighten a bit and i can see a more commercial hard rock approach that i really like.you can find some great songs and the level of musicianship is ok."master of disquise","love is a crime","one false move" and "under the rose" the highlights.i like it a lot

From: the rocker	Date: November 28, 2011 at 20:06
Great cd, between this and Visual Lies 2 GREAT cds. This I think was a solo cd with a few members of the LIZZY BORDEN GROUP involved as back up.Love is a crime is a really good commercial rocker ,as is Be one of us , Psychodrama and We got the power. Waiting in the wings is a good ballad. Recommended.

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: November 24, 2014 at 17:24
An album with a Glam feel in the songs(LB was more into Heavy Metal at the beginning of its career)...tracks 1,3,4,5,6,10 & 12 are in my book...enjoyable stuff in here...87/100
