Could never get into Testament like a lot of other people. They just feel like the ultimate second wave thrash band: heavy enough for the old schoolers, not too heavy for the MTV metalheads, and without much in the way of new ideas. I dig some of their later stuff, especially The Gathering, but in general I'm relatively neutral on them, though I do like a fair amount of their material. Just wish Chuck Billy would quit with the goofy, pseudo-death metal voice he's been doing since the 90s.
