| Post subject: | Hit Or Miss: Testament - Low |
After listening to this album for the first time in more than four months, I decided to give it the Hit Or Miss treatment here at the Metalreviews forum. I vote "Hit." It's not my favorite Testament album (in fact, I think I may even like The Ritual a bit more), but it's a good one nonetheless. It's really more of a thrashy groove metal album (with one semi-death metal song and one borderline "funk metal" instrumental) than a full-blown thrash metal album. It has very modern production, the songs are typically on the mid-paced side, there's a pretty fair amount of melody to be found in it, etc. Nonetheless, I like it. My favorite song is probably Legions (In Hiding), followed by Chasing Fear. But I like pretty much every song on the album except for may be the closer Last Call. |

I just never have any desire to listen to it over anything else they've done so I voted miss. |

Miss for me too. Anything after the 1rst three album is a miss in Testament's discography, this one's no exception. |

Trail of Tears is nice, but other than that, a bore. James Murphy is outstanding as always, though. |

Not miss, not hit... in the middle, average to good album but nothing really outstanding. |

Get the fuck out of here. The only album close to a miss is Demonic, and it's not even a bad album; just too "demonic" for my tastes. |

I've always found it to be a damn solid metal album.

Testament never grabbed me, and strikes me as a little (very) overrated. I own this one, and it's a Miss for me. |

My only issue with Testament is Chuck's voice. I've never really enjoyed his vocals but Testament supplies riffs and leads a plenty. That makes the guitarist in me very happy  .

hit;not a big hit, but still a hit for a thrash album released in 94 when the genre pretty much died away. some very good songs:Dog Faced Gods, Chasing Fear, Hail Mary, Trail of Tears and the title track. |
