"Blind" is a transition record for COC. They advertised for and got a new singer who sounds like Hetfield, but they also brought in Pepper Keenan who sings in a more stoner-southern-retro-rock style, which is the direction they ended up. IMO,it's a great collection of songs, but it's not exactly cohesive.
'"Dark Saga", is a short and sweet melodic thrash album, or what some refer to US Power Metal. It's pretty straight forward, but Barlow is phenomenal on this records, and he knocks the final ballad out of the park. This album has a great arch, that keeps my interest all the way through.
Dark Saga - 1
Blind - 0
