Certainly a unique Testament album; many of their best songs off of their first two albums are rerecorded in a much heavier style. With that said, you are probably better off getting The Legacy and The New Order before this; as interesting an album this is.
Old songs recorded again ... more power, better production, what more can one ask for?
First Strike and Into the Pit stick to our ears and the rest... vintage Testament!
Testament's old songs with fantastic production and superb vocals by Chuck Billy. Great release, although the last two songs would have sounded much better without Steve Souza at the helm.
you can listen to some of their older selections, but i don't always have the means to turn up my radio as loud as possible just to hear it. this is a breath of fresh air and works wonders in the gym.
Got Testament's greatest hits, said "Man their old stuff's great but it sounds like CRAP!" Enter First Strike Still Deadly. EVERY SONG is given a punishing 21st century facelift and Chuck Billy sounds better than ever. Still despise Skolnick's lead tone (he's a great player though) but everything else rocks so hard I overlook it!
