Synopsis

Album Description
Deluxe CD/DVD edition of this 2008 album includes a bonus DVD that contains three live performances from Alcatraz plus the 'More Than Meets The Eye' video. Few bands have the capability to survive lineup changes, health crises and 25 years of rapidly changing musical tastes, only to come out stronger than ever. Testament are one of the only remaining legends of the Thrash scene and arguably one of the few who have grown whilst still maintaining the substance and integrity for which they are known. In the almost two years since TFOD's release, the band have toured continuously (most notably with Judas Priest), charted higher than ever before, defied expectations and truly proven themselves as the real deal.
 

CD Reviews

Five Stars For The Album, Not For The Tour Edition
Michael | FL United States | 03/07/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)

"When The Formation Of Damnation first came out in '08, I was very excited. It showed the Testament that fans of The Legacy, The New Order, and Practice What You Preach really wanted to hear. Not saying that fans didn't want to hear another Gathering sounding album or that it was a bad album. I loved The Gathering. But Alex Skolnick was back in the band, and his presence was heard on Formation. It was like old and new. Now we have the tour edition, and I must say....don't waste your time if you already own the album. They basically took the standard cd (original artwork and all), put a cardboard sleeve over it, and put a bonus cd inside the sleeve. Now, I'll admit that Metal Blade did the exact same thing with Unearth's The March, and I bought into that. But at least it had a bonus dvd with a lot more cool stuff than what you'd get here. What you get with this edition of Formation is a bonus cd with three live tracks, and as a cd enhancement (for those that don't know, there's a logo that says enhanced cd on some cd's you buy. That means you put the cd in your computer for additional content like video content and such.), the music video for "More Than Meets The Eye," and the video footage of the same three songs you hear on the same disc. I was at least expecting a bonus dvd of some sort, like the one that came with the import version of the album that has the making of it. That would have been better, or if it was a full live concert dvd or cd, that would have been great too. Anyway, I'm a big fan of the album, not this edition though. If you don't already have the cd, go ahead and get it. If you do, don't bother upgrading to this version."
