 Good album, probably not as solid as most Testament albums. August 2, 2008
This album saw Testament experiment a little with death metal, and contained some of their heaviest material to date.
While Low, Legions (In Hiding), Hail Mary, Shades of War, PC, Dogs Faced Gods, and Ride are all great headbangers, Urotsukidoji shows some great interplay between Greg Christian and the rest of the band, leading into Chasing Fear which is the most typical old school Testament song on the album, and probably the only time on the album I missed Alex Skolnick (as good as Skolnick is, James Murphy certainly was a worthy replacement).
However the slow song on this album, Trail of Tears, similar to Return to Serenity on The Ritual, wins the gold for the best song on the album. The song contains the albums best solo (and one of my all-time favorite solos ever) from... surprising Eric Peterson. James Murphy's solo was good too, but Eric's was outstanding. People always overlook Eric Peterson's ability as a guitarist because of talent he has had around him, but if you ask me, he should solo more.
 Better than the Ritual, but not much. May 16, 2008

Yet another Testament release.
Faster and more aggressive than The Ritual but not that much better overall.
The group seemed to be losing (lacking) direction.
Skolnick was gone, and it showed big time.
Fast, furious, but not very satisfying. A couple of good tracks here and there. But overall it was a sign, a very BAD sign of things to come.
 better late than ever November 4, 2007

not to often does a band get better as time goes on,but that`s what you get with low.10 or so years after their prime, testament has given to the world a great gift,to me this is the best testament cd,with props to earlier efforts,the new order and practice what you preach,low surpasses these other classic testament cd`s.crushing guitar,pounding drums,and chuck billy`s growls come together to make metal magic,(black magic)get this,you won`t regret it if you like heavy music
the best testament had to offer since the new order,HEAVY! October 24, 2007

this was the first cd with unoriginal menbers james murphy and john tempesta?at first thought I was unsure but after listening this is brutally heavy.this made many people reconsider 80 thrash bands the set forth new standards in that realm of music. james has alway chosen to work with the cream of the crop(obituary,death,teastamen ect.)but this was put him in a hard spot replacing alex sckolnick(guitar god)but james stomped on alex's place out.James to thing to a higher level and could do anything alex did before ( you want proof live at the filmore listen to it)john tempesta (replaced louie )with surprisingly great referances(anthrax tech,exodus,slayer temp. then to white zombie)and did a great job better than I thought he would do but left just after recording to be replaced by paul bostiph(formerly of forbidden/next move slayer 13 years+)with chuck,Eric,greg still there these two new guy with the 10 years in the sceane produced one of the memorible cds of the era and broke major new ground with this cd.this is a must have!
Essential Thrash Metal October 13, 2007
I know Testament is a great band , this cd shows why! the entire cd kicks butt. This is one of my favorites from their long spanning career.
Dog Faced Gods is a Killer track and one of the best songs ever in metal.
If you like your Metal fast and hard then this is a "Must Have" for you~!
