Psycho Surgery, followed by STB and then POD are my favourites in order. I always loved Guy Ritter's voice, and loved the counterpoint with Gary's vocals. I'm in the minority that doesn't dig MVOATM that much -it's good, but not great, and lacks the focus that the best TQT has. I liked Vanishing Lessons for what it was, but rarely spin that, as the first three albums are what I reach for when looking for a TQT fix!

Psycho Surgery bar none..... when it first came out I was floored... much better than the debut imo....

I love Psychosurgery but I don't think it is as good as P.O.D. or STB. Side 2 is the worst side of all 6 sides of the first 3 albums.

Dysfunctional Domicile: great song, very heavy in the lyrical dept. Powerful thrash song.

Broken Chromosomes: I understand this song has a huge effect on alot of people due to the lyrics on abuse but it's not incredible musically, it's a great song but these next three tracks have zero speed, all mid-tempo or slower.

Stereotaxic Atrocities: Lyrically it's part 2 to "Ark Of Suffering", musically just average mid tempo. Cool song, just not stunning musically.

Officium Defunctorium: Cool meaning to the lyrics but absolutely nothing special musically. I could do without the crying and repetitive nothing at the end that goes on and on.

I really don't see how this side compares to either side of STB, either side of POD (not even close), or side 1 of Psychosurgery (which is phenominal).

compare all 6 sides separately someday. I think you'll be a bit surprised.

I listened to Tourniquet a lot growing up thanks to both my dad and brother. I always liked it, but the only album that has ever completely blown me away is Stop the Bleeding. That album kills and is the only Tourniquet album I've ever bought. (In an emergency I can borrow the rest from my brother)

Okay, I took my tourniquet cds to listen to while working/driving. No particuar order. I don't have "Crawl To China", but I did listen to the E.P "Carry The Wounded" in it's stead. There is alot to like on the albums listed to vote on. I can say that it was easier to listen to the first 4 they did as opposed to the last two. Mostly cause of faiilarity... The lack of a second guitar takes away from what I enjoyed most about Tourniquet.

To the question at hand.....I chose Pyscho Surgery

I also like the Acoustic Archives - the cd cover is lame but the music is good.

WOW - The ones I like no one else seems to like. I voted for Microscopic but I also like Moth and Rust and Crawl To China all seem to albums no one else really likes. WOW just WOW though to be honest even though I like Christian Metal I have never really been that big of a Tourniquet compared to some.
