I'd go with those two over Ace of Spades any day of the week. Hell, I'd take Ironfist over it too even though half of it is discardable, just because it has I'm a Loser and America. I own all of those 3 albums, but not Ace of Spades.

It's got some filler on the B-side, but it was one of the first metal albums I ever bought, and one of the limited number of albums I had for probably the better part of a decade. So I know it way better than any other Motorhead record and there's a nostalgia factor. And "Ace of Spade", "The Hammer", "(We Are) The Road Crew", and "The Chase Is Better than the Catch" are all ****ing gnarly as ****.

Not a big Peace Sells fan either. Weakest of their 80's output by far... My fave being So Far So Good So What.

I like Peace Sells fine, I just think it's a bit overrated.

None So Vile versus any Testament album would be None So Vile by a mile for me.

I was actually just listening to The Gathering again and remembered my biggest complaint: Eric Peterson's style is too percussive and lacks the energy of when Skolnick was in the band. I don't even much like modern Testament, but at least Skolnick coming back to the band solved that problem. So yeah, None So Vile for me as well.
