Blazon Stone was released on April 4, 1991. According to an interview with Rolf Kasparek, it is the band’s best-selling album of the 1990s. This album proved to be more difficult to get into for me. I don’t know why. There is nothing weak on it. Usually a song or two (or three) from a Running Wild album will immediately capture my attention. Such was not the case with Blazon Stone and I had to listen to it many times before a few songs stood out and they were mostly towards the end of the album.

First was the furious “Straight To Hell.” I like songs with catchy chants, and this one has it. “Over The Rainbow” is another really good instrumental track. I hadn’t realized how good their instrumentals are until I started doing these polls. Then I really started digging “Rolling Wheels” for its power and intensity. That one almost got my vote, but the song that ended up finally grabbing me and not letting go is the finale “Heads or Tails.” Great chants, so catchy, awesome! I don’t know why it took me so many listens to discover this track. Probably because it was at the end of the album and I may have zoned out by the time it came on or kept re-starting the album. Well, I’m hooked on it now.

White Masque.

This was a bit tougher vote for the reasons you stated. There's nothing bad here, the whole album is quite solid, but there's nothing on it that reaches the heights of its predecessor or some of the other albums in their catalog. Listening through it for this poll, White Masque is the one that stuck out to me the most. I also like the bonus track Billy the Kid.

Rolling Wheels for me. That song sticks in my head long after I've heard it. And like MetallicSeminarian said, the whole album is great.

This was my first exposure to RW so it's quite an endearing album to me. Every track IMO is solid, even though the aggression is dialed down a tad on this album compared to those before it. I had to go with the title track, since it was my son's first exposure to heavy metal at three years old and continues to be his favorite. Whenever I put it on he loves to play pirates with his brother. Regardless I love the rollicking riff in it. It's a power metal masterpiece.

Rolling Wheels and White Masque are the only standouts imo on an otherwise average RW album. Voted Rolling Wheels.

"White Masque" didn't do anything for me. Maybe I should give it another few listens. It's getting more love here than I thought.

I've had the same experience. Had to re-listen it to finally choose the track to vote for, since, aside from the Blazon Stone itself, I didn't remember any other song Very Happy Picked Little Big Horn, mostly for its chrous. Could've gone with title track I guess.
