Title: Best Testament record in years
Review: This is their 1st album, and they couldn't make anything sounding as fresh and inspired as this one in years.Yes, it's a bit naive and old-fashioned if look back to it, released over 15 years ago. But still it's a prime example of bay-area thrash-metal. Raw, powerful, fast, with good vocals, proficient guitars and effective rhythm-section. Songwriting is consistently strong, too. If only Testament stayed on their own path and never tried to copy Metallica, they could have become one of thrash-superstars, on par with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. But sadly, they chose to imitate another successful act, thus becoming one of good but not great members of the 2nd echelon of thrash-metal bands.If you want to get the best of thrashing Testament, get this record.
