Honestly I've never been the biggest Testament fan. Chuck Billy is a totally overrated vocalist, and his growly vocals are just embarassing. I don't exactly know what it is about them that kind of bores me, but they just do. I traded in my copy of The Formation of Damnation a while back and haven't regretted it. I still have The Gathering though, which is pretty sweat. There first few albums certainly weren't terrible either.

Overkill - Ironbound
Heathen - The Evolution Of Chaos
Exodus - Exhibit B: The Human Condition
Anacrusis - Hindsight: Suffering Hour & Reason Revisited
Death Angel - Relentless Retribution
Sodom - In War And Pieces

I've been meaning to see if any of these guys have put out anything since then to see if the goodness continues.
I was just listening to this album yesterday and it honestly bored me. Some of the songs on the first half were pretty good, but on the whole it just felt lifeless. Like they were trying to pander to Machine Head fans.
