I'd agree. Steve DiGiorgio definitely too. The band is EXTREMELY tight. All of the songs are played in D instead of E at a sightly slower tempo. It works well for some songs(heavier ones) and not as well for others(Haunting, New Order). The production improvement on songs from The Legacy is extremely noticable. The songs from New Order didnt need changed (that album is epic), but theyre still good.
First Strike Is Deadly (opening track) is the best, imo. I never loved the original verison but this verison kills. Slowing it down helped b/c it was played extremely too fast on The Legacy. The solo has time for feeling and Alex drops a gem.
Some songs from PWYP, wouldve been nice b/c I always felt that album was too mainstream sounding. I'd rather hear them redo songs like this than put out another stupid "greatest hits" album.
For anyone who doesnt own originals, BUY THEM. A Day Of Reckoning, Eerie Inhabitants and Musical Death are 3 of my favorite Testament songs of all-time.
