Armored Saint - Win Hands Down

I think for the time being I like La Raza a bit more. I have no complaints about the new one, however, and I will surely play a lot this summer.

I just can't get enough of this album. It's totally awesome! It's made me drag out my Bush era Anthrax albums again. Win Hands Down, Mess, Muscle Memory, With A Full Head Of Steam and Up Yours are all ripping songs!

I looked into getting this at Best Buy but none of the local ones have it in stock so I ordered it online and am having it shipped to the house. Hope it doesn't take too long.

I ran into the same problem. No Best Buys in my area had it in stock. I was going to order on-line, but found it for the same price ($9.99) at FYE instead.

I hate to admit that that wanker Uncle Saxon may be right, but I can see this album being in my Top 3 for the year. It's really excellent.

I haven't found it either, might have to go the Amazon route.

"Getting it right" has become an annual event for me.

"ARMORED SAINT – Win Hands Down Debuts On Billboard Chart

Win Hands Down is all things Armored, a vintage crush of classic power propelled by a cathartic blast of life in the year 2015. The fan response thus far has been above and beyond all expectations, and first week sales numbers are in. Win Hands Down has debuted at #71 on the Billboard Top 200 current albums chart.

This album sold double what their previous effort, La Raza, sold upon its release in 2010. In Germany, the album reached #33 on the German Top 100 albums charts."

I wonder how many copies they sold?

20,000 copies sold will land you in the top 20 these days.

According to an old article I found La Raza sold 2000 copies the first week, so that puts the sales of this one around 4000 for the first week.

Thanks!

My copy showed up in the mail today. I'm giving it a listen to right now. Sounding pretty awesome!

New video if anyone cares...slightly NSFW-ish I guess.



I tell ya, this album is a real strong candidate for the Number 1 position in 2015. Real strong.

Yep, Mine too. It's gonna be a coin toss between this and Queensryche.

Excellent album and one I still have in the changer in the car. This one just instantly resonated with me. Miles ahead of La Raza.
