Ten | Review and Rating
Spellbound
| TEN is a melodic rock band from the UK that displays a lot of class on this album.
The songs are all good to great and very melodic. The sound is crisp and quite heavy for a rock band. In fact it is much heavier than
prog metal bands ever put out. The songs feature hummable choruses with plenty of decent riffs and solos. The vocals are very moody very reminiscent of Neil Diamond in a way!
The sound can be compared to a much heavier whitesnake. I think some open minded metal fans can enjoy this melodic rock masterpiece!
| Rating - 8 Testament |
| Practice what you preach
| A good quality Testament album. The sound could be better but there are a number of great tracks, with the best of the
bunch being the title track. Chuck Billy is a fine vocalist as well and he sings well on this CD.
| Rating - 7 Souls of Black
| This is a real thrash fest of an album. There are one or two great tracks here with some fillers which are not bad just average.
I enjoy this a little more than Practice what you preach, but Testament has yet to really dissapoint me.
| Rating - 8 Demonic
| Testament turns into a thrashing goddam heavy death metal band on this CD. The vocals are almost 100% death metal
which I think is a turn off for most fans. The songs themselves are damn heavy and quite catchy at times. The heaviness fits in with the vocals
quite well. Definitely not Testaments best but damn heavy all the same just need to sort out the vocals to give them
the melodic edge that you had on earlier albums.
| Rating - 7 Live at the Filmore
| This is an absolutely essential live Cd for any Testament fan also for any Thrash metal fan in general.
It kicks ass from start to finish! Many Testament classics are present and correct. The performance is flawless with the crystal clear
live sound another bonus. At the end of the disk, you get 3 acoustic tracks which are again very
tastefully done and show the quality balladeering that Testament has always done with class!
