I loved The Legacy, The New Order was a major letdown after that one. Practice What You Preach was better. Souls Of Black...I don't remember a thing about that record other than the title track. I did like The Ritual when it first came out, liked the catchiness of some of the songs like Electric Crown.

My main problem with their material post-The Legacy was too many songs sounded alike. It started to feel like each album had about 3 great songs on it and the rest was filler. That was the main reason I stopped following them.

I liked The Gathering infinitely more than Formation Of Damnation...that album sounds good while it's playing...but as soon as it's over I don't remember a thing about it.

Back then I was more interested in riffs and solos than actual songs, so that maybe why I like Testament's earlier work with Skolnick and may also explain my love for Yngwie also. When I used to listen to thoses first two Testament albums I was really only listening to the solos and riffs than I was listening to songs if that makes sense.

I voted 'old'.

I really like the first five, including the Ritual. Technical haunting thrash metal. Real good stuff. I don't know which one would be my favourite album, maybe Practise What You Preach. I never really got into the post-Skolnick Testament, maybe because Skolnick always had a good sense of melody and there was also a lot of intricate playing. I guess I found the later stuff a bit too dumbed down for me. Not to mention they started sounding too much like a lot of other bands. Just got lost in the shuffle.

I love Formation of Damnation though. It has good parts of old and new Testament. And a killer production to boot.

One of these days I'll go back and revisit those early Testament albums, I'm going solely from memory as I haven't owned any of them since the early 90's.
