  • @warphalak
    @warphalak 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Low is the one I discovered them with... I guess that might be the reason why is the first on my list... it's more of an emotional choice. '94 is when I kinda started shifting from rock to metal and Low was one of those albums, together with Slayer's Divine Intervention, Megadeth's Youthanasia, Machine Head's Burn my Eyes, Motorhead's Sacrifice... Amorphis' Black Winter Day and Brutality's When the Sky turns Black... oh, I forgot, also Edge of Sanity's Purgatory Afterglow and Ghostorm's Frozen in Fire (man, what times...). On the topic, I couldn't get in all this band's albums... I don't know why, something didn't just click with me. I love Low, The Gathering (which maybe it should be first... for me), and The Ritual. I can listen and enjoy anytime, anywhere these ones. Anything else... uhm, I kinda like but not at the level of those 3.

    I’m also doing my own ranking at the moment. I can’t drop a finished ranking right now, but before beginning this project, the ones I most often went back to were ‘The Legacy’, ‘The New Order’ and ‘Low’.

    1. Low (i love the different style on this album. Also james murphy 🤘)
    2. The Gathering (The crossover albums are my favorite, not much separating the top 2)
    3. Dark roots of earth (imo their real comeback album. Rise up isnt great but after that its a pretty unique album with great songs)
    4. Souls of black (dont get the hate at all for this album, easily my favorite from their first thrsh period)
    5. Titans of Creation (i guess its a longer album but the quality of the songs makes up for it)
    6. Practice what you preach (one of the best testament albums until greenhouse effect, falls of a bit after that but still good)
    7. The New Order (basically nothing separating this from pwyp, only lower because pwyp title track is one of my fav testament songs)
    8. The Legacy (overrated but still kickass)
    9. Formation of Damnation (everyone says this is the best modern testament but I disagree. Gets kind of repetitive nesr the middle)
    10. Brotherhood of the snake (weakest of the modern testament albums, but i still love most of it)
    11. The Ritual (tried to make a black album but didn’t really work out commercially or quality wise. Still some great tunes though)
    12. Demonic (the only bad testament album. While i love the deathend thrash er of testament, the full on death metal on here dorsnt work out for me

    12. Demonic (not bad, just unmemorable) 5/10
    11. Souls of black (quiet and tinny production, some filler) 7/10
    10. Brotherhood of the snake (lots of really cool bluesy rythyms, overall very good) 7.5/10
    9. The ritual (lots of good songs, dislike production, foreshadows new sound adapted on low) 7.5/10
    8. Practice what you preach (better production than Souls of black, and less filler, but still some filler) 8/10
    7. The gathering (controversial placing I know but it still hasn’t grown on me like the others have, a less memorable low essentially) 8.5
    6. Dark roots of earth (a less memorable formation of damnation, amazing still) 9/10
    5. Formation of damnation (production is the least aggressive of their new albums, most similar to titans of creation) 9.5/10
    4. The new order (a step down from the legacy, but a classic nonetheless) 9.5/10
    3. The legacy (the classic testament album, production is not very good, songs are top tier) 10/10
    2. Low (the first adaptation of their new groove sound, songs are absolutely killer, trail of tears might be the most underrated testament song) 10/10
    1. Titans of creation (how... did... they... pull... this... off... SO LATE IN THEIR CAREER!! Controversial to put it at the top, but it is one of my favorite metal albums of all time, children of the next level WWIII and the night of the witch are a few of their best songs ever, city of angels is really cool and sounds very evil) 10/10

  • @joshalan5125
    @joshalan5125 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with you with The New Order also being my favorite; what a killer album! This will likely be an unpopular opinion, but Dark Roots of the Earth is my least favorite. I just thought the songwriting was weak. Stuff like "I say rise up, you say war..." Yeah, that's just one quick example of why I thought this album was dull.

    gonna be honest, and you can hate me for this: i used to love testament. i loved every album. however, now that i’ve actually dived into thrash and know more than the big four plus exodus, testament, and kreator (who are KILLER to be clear)... Testament don’t deserve the hype. they have 2 AMAZING albums (the legacy and new order), but everything after that? sorry but they fall off HARD. outside of low and brotherhood of the snake, every single one of their other albums is seriously generic or bland. sure, there’s stand out tracks here and there (souls of black, face in the sky, return to serenity, practice what you preach, etc), but the vast majority of their discography is seriously fucking boring. nearly every album feels like they’re going through the motions. they have two albums that i actually still like more than half of, and only one that i still listen to semi-frequently (the legacy). i loved them when i first got into thrash, but not so much anymore. i still respect the shit outta them though

    • @Cheddar_Wizard
      @Cheddar_Wizard 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Disagree. I think Practice and A New Order are their two best; Low is also top 5 for me and Brotherhood of the Snake is their most generic album next to Demonic. I think Testament is one of the greatest, I would only rank Metallica Megadeth Slayer and Pantera higher than Testament.

    • @opqrrg

    9. Souls of Black (what the heck is that production)
    8. Ritual (weird one, much less heavy and its more heavy metal, I don’t like the production a lot either, Electric Crown is awesome tho)
    7. Dark Roots of Earth (feels a little bit boring in some places, I was expecting better I guess because of Formation of Damnation)

    Only thing nobody seems to mention is the WAAAYYYY sterile production on Practice. Songs, great, performances, great(except this album is where Louie gets lazy and stops thrashing), solos, Awesome, guitar sound, kinda mushy, vocals, killer, drum sound, fffffffffffflllaaattttt!, bass sound, what bass? There's a plunky, gutless, twonking, that might be a bass but its so horribly produced that it might better have been left off. Adds Nothing to the sound, adds Nothing to the songs, and is annoying(though not as bad as W.F.O. by Overkill), and always ruins my enjoyment of an otherwise pretty great record. This one could be remastered. The bass on the next record, Souls is MUCH better. Listen to the bass intro on Perilous Nation, donk de donkdonk donk donk donk donk, Blah!
