Much more like First Strike Still Deadly, since Days of Purgatory only had re-recorded vocals (bass and drums re-recorded on tracks from Enter the Realm), where as First Strike Still Deadly was a complete re-recording. An even better comparision would be Gamma Ray's Blast From the Past, where...

I'm happy to hear that! I hope for a quick full recovery soon, hang in there!

Ranking for me: 1. Legacy 2. Return to Serenity 3. Trail of Tears 4. The Ballad I think Testament does the best ballads, man. All of those songs except The Ballad (which feels a bit unfocused IMO) are all fantastic emotion. I'm normally not a big fan of ballads. I mean, I don't have...

Actually, I'd say that's the charm of the two first albums, the power of combining some really brutal riffs, combined with some really simple drumming. Adds to the headbanging, IMO. Perhaps on cost if intriciaty (sp?), though, for some I guess.

I wish the best for you and your daughter, Jon. Hang in there, I surely hope everything turns out well!

As a matter of fact, that's a thing I don't like about Saxon, the lyrical themes are sometimes a bit too varied for my taste. I mean, I don't like hearing a track with the name "Crusader" and then hear a track with the name "A Little Bit of What You Fancy" or "Bad Boys Like to Rock 'n' Roll.

Those are some awesome pics, no doubt!! :hotjump:

Is that bonus disc the 1-cd version of Heavy Metal Thunder?

I know I've made a similar topic before, but now I know it's a toss up between these two. Which one of these would you recommend the most, 'cause I'm too cheap to buy them both (at once)! :p If my online shop had Dogs of War, I wouldn't have asked you, because then I would definitely have...

Testament. :)

I only have their six first (+Fillmore), so here we go: 1. New Order (by a long shot) 2. Legacy 3. Practice What You Preach 4. Low 5. Souls of Black 6. The Ritual

Both of the records are known for being the respective band's commercial record, so I'd say this is a very interesting poll (not that I doubted for a second who was gonna win on this site, though). Although TBA is probably a bit more commercial than Ritual, I'd still say TBA is the better...

I read that before, this is just so awesome!! Although Matt is one of my favorite vocalists, Tim is still the better, IMO. Check out www.icedearth.com for soundclips, BTW.

I'd love to vote for New Order, but since I haven't even heard Gathering I don't feel alligable (sp?) to vote. I have all Testament studio records from Legacy to Low, except Souls of Black.

I was thinking to buy the Wheels of Steel/Strong Arm of the Law cd for starter, since they had a big influence on the NWOBHM in the early 80's, but I've been hearing a bit here and there that Saxon has actually improved with age, and nowadays soud better than they ever did in during the NWOBHM...

...and now I feel authorized to say the new Metallica album is very sub-par. It's worse than both Load and Reload. It's heavier, that's for sure, but the songwriting is very unimpressive, the production is probably the worst thing to ever come out on a major label release and Jaymz has lost...

I'm gonna have to ask Testamentlegions to put "Epica is not a chick" as an announcement. Many seem to think I'm a girl, but I'm not. Np: Metallica - St. Anger, for the third time this day.

Ok, poll closed. I bought St. Anger. My mom saw the article about the new album in a paper, so figured I couldn't have screwed her. Always when I buy a new album she wants to see the artwork. I'm kinda dissapointed with the new album, but it might grow on me.

Trial by Fire and New Order being mediocre songs? Becoming better on FSSD? You and I don't have much to agree with in this issue, since I consider Trial by Fire and New Order being two thrash classics, only being slowed down on FSSD. But it's your opinion, each to his own.

So, what should I do? Now that I've heard some sound clips from their new record, I've just found out that it sucks! So, f*ck it then, you think. But here's the problem: Yesterday I was begging money from my mom in order to get St. Anger, since I'm broke at the moment. She knew I'm a devoted...
