Mustaine's Music Review #3
|
|
[Mustaine/Influenza]
|
|
|
|
For starters, some of you may have noticed I dropped the k-rad crap
|
|
in the title section. The reason for this is...none of your business. At
|
|
any rate, welcome to my third music review. This one, I can personally
|
|
guarantee, will contain NO Pantera reviews. I hate Pantera. This one will
|
|
contain several reviews on one of my favorite bands..Testament. Anyways,
|
|
here's my scale...following it will be the review..enjoy.
|

Band #1 :

|
Name : Testament
|
|
Members : Louie Clemente (Drums)
|
|
Eric Peterson (Rhythm Guitar)
|
|
Greg Christian (Bass)
|
|
Alex Skolnick (Lead Guitar)
|
|
Chuck Billy (Vocals)
|
|
Album : The New Order
|
|
Info. : This is not Testament's first album by a long shot, but it is
|
|
totally rad. I haven't been able to find many of their earlier
|
|
CD's...and for a plug, I am willing to buy them if any of you folks
|
|
want to get rid of your old Testament CD's. You can reach me on
|
|
Arsonist's Arsenal if you want to sell. Back to the music though..
|
|
This CD is really good thrash metal. Every single song on this CD
|
|
is kewl. I love em. Here they are rated...
|
|
|
|
1) Eerie Inhabitants *9
|
|
2) The New Order *10
|
|
3) Trial By Fire *10
|
|
4) Into The Pit *8
|
|
5) Hypnosis *9 (instrumental)
|
|
6) Disciples of the Watch *10
|
|
7) The Preacher *10
|
|
8) Nobody's Fault *7
|
|
9) A Day of Reckoning *9
|
|
10) Musical Death *10 (instrumental)
|
|
|
|
If you are a fan of Megadeth, or Exodus, old Dio, or even old
|
|
Metallica, I would strongly reccomend checking these people out.
|
|
Their instrumentals are phenomenal, and Chuck Billy's voice is
|
|
almost as eerie as Dave Mustaine's.

Album : Practice What You Preach
|
|
Info : This one was released in 1989, and in my opinion was not quite as
|
|
all around kewl as The New Order was. Don't get me wrong..I AM
|
|
talking all 9's and 10's..it just was different. Here are the
|
|
songs rated.

|
|

Albumn : Souls Of Black
|
|
Info : Yes! 1990 came, Souls Of Black was released...and I LOVED it. It
|
|
was just like The New Order with its intensity..but BETTER. Souls
|
|
Of Black..the song totally ROCKS. Seven Days of May was a
|
|
commentary on the Red Square incident. This CD blew everything in
|
|
the metal category away. If you get any of their albums...this is
|
|
definitely in the top two list. Here are the songs rated.

|
|
|
1) Beginning Of The End *10 (instrumental)
|
|
2) Face In The Sky *10

|
|
8) One Man's Fate *10
|
|
9) The Legacy * F*cking 11!!
|
|
10) Seven Days Of May *10
|
|
|
|
This album IS really, really good. Buy it. If you hate it you
|
|
suck big hairy monkey dick dripping with sour lemon juice. And you
|
|
pick your butt with a shoehorn. Start loving this album. Or I'll
|
|
get Dorothy and the Tin Man to rape your dog.

Album : The Ritual
|
|
Info : Uh..yeah. They released The Ritual in 1992 and I was slightly in
|
|
shock. Don't get me wrong...the album rocks. The format in this
|
|
album changed slightly. The music seems now more refined. The
|
|
metal is still burning with that hellish acidic sound...but now
|
|
it's like maybe they went and took lessons. It is most likely that
|
|
they are just getting older. Doesn't really make a difference
|
|
though...the album is killer. Buy it. Here are the songs rated.
|
|
|
|
1) Signs of Chaos *10 (instrumental)
|
|
2) Electric Crown *10
|
|
3) So Many Lies * F*cking 11!!
|
|
4) Let Go Of My World *10
|
|
5) The Ritual *10 (This is the funky weird one.)
|
|
6) Deadline *9
|
|
7) As The Seasons Grey *10
|
|
8) Agony * F*cking 11!! YES YES YES!!
|
|
9) The Sermon *9
|
|
10) Return to Serenity *10 (Another weird one. But GREAT!)
|
|
11) Troubled Dreams * F*cking 11!!
|
|
|
|
Well, I could rap up and review their latest album, Return To The
|
|
Apocalyptic City...but I won't. Needless to say that album is full
|
|
of live cuts...and a different version of Return to Serenity off of
|
|
The Ritual. I hated my intro review for this album, so I think I
|
|
am gonna say some more. The Ritual is a really good album.
|
|
However, after listening to Testament's music for so long..I can
|
|
definitly say SOMETHING has changed since Souls of Black. I have
|
|
yet to decide whether or not I like this change..but the music still
|
|
rocks so go out and buy it. Or I'll personally come to your house
|
|
and rip off your reproductive organs. Maybe not personally..but
|
|
you get the picture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's about it for this review...I hope you like it. If not... well
|
|
then f*ck you. And f*ck your little dog too. Be waiting for my next
|
|
few reviews...I think review Numbah 5 will be a Megadeth special. As
|
|
for next time...who the hell knows? Seeya.
