Fat Freddy Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dunno what it was about "Souls...." Just seemed like they didn't put their best effort into that one. I've heard some of the re-recorded tracks on "First Strike..." and they sounded pretty good. Hope to see it in my mailbox within the next day or two. And actually, yes, I do own (and like) "Practice What You Preach." That one and "Low" are the only two I currently own. "The Gathering" had some great tunes on it, but too many fillers to make it a keeper for me. As you can see, Testament is a hit-and-miss band for me; pretty much when I want a Testament fix, I just reach for "Low." Not sure they'll ever top that one. Testament phoned it in on "Souls of Black." That album was rushed cuz the record company wanted to get'em back out on tour (with Judas Priest and Megadeth) back in 1990. Even the band members themselves admit that it's not as good as it should be. I think Chuck Billy has said something along the lines of "Souls of Black should have been a 4-song EP," haha. I'm in your corner about "Low," MM777 -- my fave Testament album. That thing crushes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan3000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Latest acquisitions... Testament: "Souls of Black" Good one... Actually, I wasn't impressed, but that's OK, it was a Christmas gift, so it didn't cost me anything. I've got Testament: "First Strike Still Deadly" on the way, so we'll see if I like that any better. I don't like "Souls of Black" either. "First Strike..." is the re-recordings of all their early stuff. It sounds killer & definitely should be more your sort of thing... "Practice What You Preach" is the album you should probably get IMO... If he didn't like 'Souls' then I don't know if he'd like 'Practice'. I'd say that 'Low' and 'The Gathering' would be more his speed and maybe 'The Legacy' and 'New Order'. Dunno what it was about "Souls...."

"The New Order" is pretty damn good as well I think it's probably my favorite Testament disc next to Practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice would be second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
