I purchased The Dark on cassette without ever hearing a single note based solely on an ad in one of the metal rags back in the day, and it is by far my favorite Metal Church album. I've only done that a few times — Tesla's Mechanical Resonance, Anthrax's Spreading the Disease and Among the Living, and Queensrÿche's Rage for Order come to mind.
