I've gotta agree, this band has never done anything for me. I did hear part of this song on Sirius yesterday. Started off with an ok riff, then just went meeeeeehhhh. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 1,2012 12:45am - Noway ""] Their second album is the only REALLY good album, IMO. Although I must say, The Gathering is one of the worst albums I have ever heard - way worse than even Saint Anger IMO. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 1,2012 1:22am - Lamp nli ""] Thrash is a pretty hit or miss genre for me and bands that hit or miss do so hard. Testament is definitely part of a school of thrash I've never liked. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2012 9:05am - ThrilliVanilli ""] Always dug Testament. New tracks a ripper. To those that are nay sayers, at least they didn't turn nu metal |
