Interesting review of La Raza.

I'm not letting ridiculous reviews taint my opinion. I'm getting this regardless of what some ass-wipe labels it.

Yea, I said "taint". Tee-hee!!

I've heard it and yes it's METAL but it seems there is something in this missing. I'll listen more and maybe it will grow on me!

It doesn't surprise me that kids would say Armored Saint isn't metal because I've seen the same things said about Black Sabbath and Judas Priest and Iron Maiden lately. For a lot of kids anything that reflects what metal was before death metal came along is just hard rock, much like how 80s kids decided that Zeppelin and Deep Purple weren't metal when thrash came along. As said above, the goal posts keep getting shifted.

Is it good or bad? Should i be picking it up? I'm on a very tight budget right now

I think it's a very good album...

I listened to it through a few times this past weekend and I certainly believe it's Metal. I like it, it's AS 30 years later, as someone posted previously (and they are spot on!).

I recently read an interview with John Bush and it was actually kind of sad. His heart just doesn't seem to be in music anymore. I think Anthrax stomped on his soul. The interview was focused on Armored Saint but he didn't seem to really care about it and even admitted he was against doing it at first and has no interest in taking the band on the road and said he doesn't like touring anymore.

I've heard people say the band was never metal in the first place and fit the 'hard rock' category.

I got the cd today and after a couple spins I think it's good.
