 Rating:  - Second best thrash metal album everThis is another solid offering from Testament, and is good from the start to the end. While I list the Legacy as the best thrash metal album ever, the New Order is literally every bit as good, it's just the Legacy was the bands defining album as it came first. The album did not sell too well for the band, possibly because MTV was too big on Metallica, Guns N Roses and Motley Crue to promote bands like Testament, certainly not because the album is lacking in material. Rating: - The sophmore effort.Testament's second album was an advance similar to the jump Metallica made from Kill Em All to Ride The Lightning. The music matured, as did the lyrics. Powerful, angry, melodic. It was The Legacy but much more mature. A must have for any Testament fan.

I think Alex Skolnick is a great guitarist but everything else about the band is horribly mediocre. Also, it may be my imagination but Skolnick seems to include a lot of Klezmer in his arrangements. That's great but it's a little overdone. This is supposed to be thrash and I don't want to feel like I'm at a barmitzva or watching 'Fiddler on the Roof' with every song I hear. All of the songs have the essentially the same drum ... Read More Rating:  - Second strike isn't deadly...Relative late-comers to the Thrash Metal elite, Testament dropped a vicious, thundering classic of a debut before gradually spiralling into a vortex of mediocrity over their next few records. Objectively, 'The New Order' is a pretty decent follow-up. The production is clearer and crunchier and the song-writing and performances are almost as strong. Nevertheless, this record has none of the intensity and youthful enthusiasm that makes 'The Legacy' special. 'Disciples of the Watch' is the ... Read More |
