I just got into Testament a little while ago... and I want to get a CD. I was just wondering what you thought was the best one. Later
Best Testament Album
- Thread starter EyeAm
- Start date
''The Legacy(1987)'' & ''The Gathering(1999)'' are my favourites..start from the beginning and buy ''The Legacy''..so that u get to learn the old-school part of Testament..

I totally agree with FatalBoy 100% "The Legacy" and "The Gathering" are the very best 2. I also agree with starting at the beginning and progressing WITH the band. It will give you a much clearer picture of how they developed as a band.
Alright. Is "The Legacy" more heavy or lighter stuff? Or is just a mix? The only songs I've heard so far are: 3 Days in Darkness, Eyes of Wrath, and Return to Serenity. Any other songs I should check out before I buy the CD? Thanks.

I'd say the Legacy first followed by New World Oder and Practice. Then catch up on the later albums and then get the slower stuff in the middle

You know, you are right Testacat. I like these questions, but when you post something like this, and someone types, ALL OF THEM, makes one think, Shit, why didn't I type that!!!!!
''The Legacy'' is not heavier than ''The Gathering''..''The Gathering'' have some of the heaviest Testament moments and growling vocals..''The LEgacy'' is old-school thrash, having some classics..
here are a few songs that i recommend from ''The Legacy'' ..
Over The Wall
Alone In The Dark
Burnt Offerings
Lady Of The Snow
Incompatible

FYE didn't have The Gathering or The Legacy, so, I got Low. That CD is amazing! I'll definitely be getting more... thanks, later.

Practice what You Preach and Low...PWYP is as progressive as thrash can get and still be thrash...

Disciple Of The Watch
These are their best in my opinion!
- The New Order(but please remaster this someday!!!!!!)
- The Gathering
- Low

im a huge Testament fan (btw im new to the board)
(and in fact i think testament is my all time favorite band... next to death...)
i think most people have it obveously right on there best 4 albums... The Gathering, Low, The New Order, The Legacy
but i think people are overlooking one thing... The Gathering is way to different from The New Order and Legacy... and i dont think should be compared...
i think each album the new order, the legacy and the gathering are flawless perfect 10 albums... and low is a close second 8/10 (due to its scattered and incosnistant nature)
but deffinatly buy all 4 albums... u will not be dissapointed... just dont expect them to be all that similar... cus what makes testament so great is there range... and how much ass they kICK
