No energy? Wow.

Granted, the Gathering is a tremendous album by them, but I thought this new one has a lot of energy. Maybe it's the lineup change, Lombardo makes everything go to eleven, but FOD has a truer Testament sound.

If we're talking high energy songs that make you want to throw things through random windows I thought the new album had quite a handful. Formation of Damnation, the Persecuted Won't Forget, Henchmen Ride, FEAR and Leave Me Forever. The rest of the album has that classic Testament groove that got me into them when I first picked up the New Order. The next day I got the Legacy and I've been a fan since. The only album I didn't care for was the Ritual.
