Now this is an idea that should be used universally, especially in this wonderful age of digital enhancing and so forth. Testament come out here, and take the best of the songs from their first two albums, The Legacy and The New Order and instead of just re-mastering them as is the general rule of thumb, they just re-record them in the modern day environment.
What I like is that this collection doesn’t detract from the original recordings. They still stand alone as their moment in time, and their quality is not diminished. What this collection does is bring these songs to a new generation and with a modernized feel. Tuning down to give them an extra grunt doesn’t hurt either! Production values have obviously improved with the technology of the past few years, and this is a pleasure to listen to.
Rating: A bit of new mixed in with the old makes for a great sound. 3.5/5
