TESTAMENT DESERVED THIS KIND OF RECOGNITION OVER 20 YRS AGO!!! just too bad that fart-tallica is the one who is given most of the credit for the thrash genre, as they were not the only ones who were thrashing out in the 80s!!!!

so far, this album, from what Ive been able to listen to in depth, along with Christ Illusion(Slayer) have been my favorite comeback albums so far. United Abominations(megadeth) was pretty good, not great, but pretty good; ACDC's Black Ice has so far been good to me too.

Death Magnetic was exactly what I expected... f*** you Metallica. And we all should know by now How I feel about the ear-porking that is Chinese Democracy(Guns N fa**ots)

Oh, and I'm not holding my breath for the new kiss album, in fact, I'm gonna start jogging so i breath faster.

What the hell?! Am I the only one who recognizes the complete mediocrity of the album compared to "The Legacy"?! They're a tired band cashing in on the recognition of the greatness of thrash.

I really enjoyed the album but truth be told I've only given it a spin once or twice. I do think people are riding their d***s quite a bit with this album. Testament has always deserved respect and recognition and it's great to have (most of) the original lineup together, but this album wasn't the masterpiece everyone makes it out to be.

Metallica has done something new everytime they've written an album - and f***ed up pretty monstrously since 95 but all the albums were an attempt at something new. Testament on the other hand is happy writing safe, boring, groove metal songs, which is disappointing for a band in a position to bring back what thrash really was. I mean it wasn't a terrible album, the production was unsurprisingly slick. But if this was 1989 no-one would have cared.

There's a bunch of reviews on MA which show what I think.

The only other Testament CD I have is "Practice What You Preach". While TFOD may not be their greatest work (I'm not sure -- I haven't heard everything they've put out), it blows PWYP waaaay out of the water in my opinion.

Now playing: Exodus - "And Then There Were None"
