I know I'm in the minority here but I hope the new one is better (more varied) than Formation was.
Formation was just one long song.

^But one long ass-poundingly brutal song nonetheless, so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

can they do it three times in a row? (i know they hve more than three albums but im sayin three greats in a row) the gathering was amazing as was formation i hope that this isnt a rushed album just to ride the sucess of the last one alot of bands are doin that to much. i have the same concerns about the new slayer album...these are both amzing bands but imo not diverse enough to put outs album after album and maintain the high standard of quality of their past works...but who says they cant im definitly pysched up for both releases

Great news. I still like Formation. I think I just burned out on it at first. I gave it another spin yesterday and it was killer.

Not to insult you Supastan but their first three albums (The Legacy, The New Order, & Practice What You Preach) we're all great as well. I think they can make three great albums in a row twice. Testament rules! STAY METAL MY FRIENDS

I just realized I want a time machine more than ever. I Can Not Wait. Still the best metal band around, studio and live. Enjoy living while these guys are making music people.
