Which Armored Saint Track Is The Best "Symbol of Salvation"?

Note: I'm posting my review of Armored Saint's show at Club Red in Mesa, AZ which included meet & greet and six opening acts in the "Hurting Words" section if you guys want to check it out. Nick Bowcott, formally of Grim Reaper, made an appearance.

Symbol of Salvation was Armored Saint's fourth full-length studio album. It was released in 1991 and it would not be until nine years later when their fifth album would be released. Guitarist Dave Prichard died from leukemia in 1990 before the recording of the album, but he penned many of the songs and they included his demo solo on "Tainted Past" (the first solo). Jeff Duncan had joined the band in 1988 and Phil Sandoval returned to the line-up.

Several tracks off this album have remained mainstays in their live shows like "Reign of Fire," "Last Train Home," and "Tribal Dance." "Another Day" sounded very different to me. Like it was a different band. It doesn't even sound like John Bush singing. It reminded me of the grunge bands I used to listen to. When researching this album for this poll, I see the producer was Dave Jerden who also produced Alice in Chains. That made so much sense, because the song sounds like Alice in Chains.

Anyway, my choice for this album is "Burning Question." It's a really catchy track that just sticks with me and I really like Bush's vocals.

Great album all around, "Tribal Dance" is a fave.

Great album with zero bad cuts. I picked "Symbol Of Salvation" because I had to pick one.

As already stated this is a phenomenal album and all tracks are great. I just went with Last Train Home because it was the first song to pop into my head.

"Reign of Fire" and then "Last Train Home". They were both played at the show I attended almost a week ago, so I was a happy camper!

I just played this last night. I can't pick a favourite, but it's a highly enjoyable record. I like that guitar tone and the raspy vocals.
