Haha I feel the same way, but that's mostly because I have an eye appointment today and I'm spending enough money. But whatever. I still can't wait to pick it up. Money is tight these days for a lot of us, but this albums seems to be WELL worth the $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've only listened to it twice but this album kicks some serious ass. This is the best album Testament has done in many years. I can't say it's up there with their first three albums but over time I can see myself placing it there if this album holds up well over the next few years. The cover of Powerslave is great, they made the song their own but still remained true to the original arrangement. That is the perfect way to do a cover.

What are the other cover versions like? And is the long version of Throne of Thornes better than the short version (not that I've heard either yet)?

The longer version just has an extended guitar solo at the end. It doesn't add anything to the quality of the song though. It's still a great tune without the solo.

I once read that Chuck Billy was an owner of a trucking company. He uses that as a second source of income when Testament isn't doing anything. Maybe he's making more money than we think and can afford to make the production so good. The new Rush is great but it would be incredible if it had the production quality and clarity that Dark Roots has. My favorite songs on the album are all in a row. Native Blood, Dark Roots Of Earth, True American Hate and A Day In The Death. The whole album is great but that four song run is awesome I like their cover of Powerslave but every time I hear it I have to go listen to the original right after.

Yep, Chuck has cash from his company but i don't think he is footing the bill for the album . He is the one in that band with the big house and nice cars and not from music.
