Best Armored Saint?

From what I have heard of these guys, I love them. Where to start? I was thinking Delirious Nomad, but that is a tough CD to find cheap. If it's REALLY good, I'll settle for download. Otherwise my second choice would be March of the Saint. Thoughts?

Honestly, any one you start with would be great. I do not say this of many bands, but I find all their releases to be top notch to one degree or another. Not a single dud in the bunch. I cannot even think of any tracks I would consider filler material throughout their carreer.
Sorry if that is not what you were looking for.

March Of The Saint is the classic Armored Saint is known for but I think the best songs are on Symbol Of Salvation. Great balanced record - more mellow tracks coupled with speed metal killers.

They all are great but man I am really loving the new one (La Raza). Maybe because its new? Something fresh I guess.

I don't get why "Delerious Nomad" is going for crazy $ on both Ebay and Amazon. A few months ago, I saw alot of copies for like 5 bucks ?

The funny thing is the vinyl copies used to be pricey Best Armored Saint? 685534

for that title and I saw quite a few bidding at 4 and 5 bucks a pop. Oh well... They are all pretty good. I saw that a copy of the debut and revelations are going fairly cheap.

When I bought that one after I already had Symbol I hated it. I couldnt believe it was the same band. I feel a little better about it now but I dont think its their greatest.

I like all of their stuff (haven't heard LA RAZA yet tho) but my favorite is definitely SYMBOL OF SALVATION.

Symbol of Salvation

Great to see the Symbol Of Salvation love here on HoM. Most people praise "March Of The Saint" as their best one. I like it but I think "Symbol..." is their most diverse and best-written offering.

The same with me. Symbol of salvation is a great album, I have the 3cd pack, wich I think is a waste. Sobjustvhet the regular version, unless youvwant to hear the demos and interviews

I really like that one. " Isolation" is my favorite AS song.

Oh, anything by Armored Saint says METAL! I'm a little old school and I love playing Delirious Nomad the most; just has a cool vibe to it!

Grab the whole catalog; no disappointments at all!

I have that one too and I'd agree. The demos and interview disc were listened to once. Nice idea in theory, but kinda pointless. Symbol of Salvation is a good place to start though. And I think Revelation is a great comeback album too.

La Raza still hasn't "wowed" me. Not bad, but slightly forgettable after playing.

1. Symbol of Salvation
2. March of the Saint
3. Delirious Nomad
4. Raising Fear
5. La Raza
6. Revelation
7. Nod to the Old School

My order of preference, though you can't really go wrong with any Saint.

Symbol Of Salvation is easily my favorite, although I am enjoying La Raza a lot.
