On the Testament review looses should be loses, and also the word every should be capitalized after the period after the word album. And I think you also meant to say common denominator instead of nominator in that same sentence.

Thanks

I think the first TSO album came out more than three years ago. Haha.

Yes, but I am referring to when the radio promo was released, in 1999, 3 years after the debut album. Should I rephrase it perhaps?

Agree with your review of Dark Roots. I listened to the album a couple times on Spotify to see if it was worth getting and felt the first 4 tracks were quite good and then I basically dozed off for the rest of the album. True American Hate is the real standout, too bad the rest doesn't come close.

Yeah. I would word it something like this:

I don't think anyone could have foreseen the level of success that Trans-Siberian Orchestra gained after the release of 'Christmas Eve And Other Stories' and the hit single, "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24," in 1996. But 3 years later they were amongst the highest grossing touring acts in the US. And now, every Christmas season, they are still filling up the halls all over the east and west coast of USA.

Great Axehammer review! That's their best release by far! One of my faves of all time even. So great job!!!

Thanks. I'll be sure to fix this.

I am not a diehard Testament fan but that is disappointing to read, both of you came to the same conclusion

"The Maiden Who Slept In A Glass Coffin" is schlock full of classical music inspiration...

Should be "chock-full"

Scholck means cheap and shoddy. Chock-full means packed or completely full to the limit.

Thanks, Scott.

dig the review of "Destroyer Ressurected"

Thanks ken
