Armored Saint- March of the Saint

I was listening to this the other night. I love Take A Turn.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Every song is awesome, but Glory Hunter and Envy might be my top two.

This has been on my radar for ages and I STILL haven't listened to it! Damn. Am I right in thinking it's kind of progressive melo-death?

Caligula's Horse - In Contact: I'm surprised that there isn't more discussion about this album, and even more surprised there is no band thread. I've been waiting anxiously every since it was announced and it's even better than I hoped. Every subsequent CH album has topped the previous imo.

gave this a spin mostly out of obligation.
it's okay.
spoken word track can piss off.
didn't really do much to stand out or impress me in any way except the sax on graves, but i've also heard much better metal w/ sax even just this year (white ward, ex eye say hi loudly)

Listening to this after a while because it's its 21st birthday and I think it just moved from great tier to masterpiece tier for me :hefdaddy

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

I guess we just prefer different aspects of the band. I really dig the vocal melodies on this album more than I have in the past. And the heaviness. I find there to be less filler than on bloom too. I do agree I was disappointed with the spoken word. Not because I don't like it, but I just didn't want that to take the place of an actual song.
I feel strangely honored to be following up a post from Sir Walrus Cauliflower.

I just listened to this and loved it.  I was surprised that it kept my interest all the way thru.  Will try the other cd's by this band and probably end up buying a few.

hmm. as fun as their sound is this can feel a little one note - a lot of these songs just feel like "less good versions of amends" though there's a few tracks where they mix things up a little. i'll probably relisten before deciding whether or not i'd want to pick this up

Takes me back to high school and Rage's first album. Tom and the boys haven't lost a step. Wish Zack would get the stick out of his butt and record with them but Chuck D and B-Real really hold their own.

Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history
