5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive,
One of the most overlooked and influential recordings during the acceleration of thrash from the underground to the commercial mainstream. Testament never quite made it to the heights of, say, Slayer or Anthrax. Maybe it is because soon after this recording, thrash got serious. The songs got longer and slower, bands tried to... sing. Metallica could pull it off, but Testament just sounded arsey. That fact does not detract from the greatness of this slice of untainted, undiluted, golden-nugget of thrash metal.
I used to lose days listening to this album. Remarkably, having not listened to it for at least ten years, seeing the track listing again brings a nostalgic grin to my face and a brutally catchy riff to my ear. Considering the amount of thrash I used to digest, this must be a sign a permanent class.
Three albums; Reign In Blood by Slayer, Among the Living by Anthrax, The New Order by Testament. Three slices of definitive thrash in a league of their own. You probably own two of them. Now complete the set.

===============================================

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic,
This is a genuine slice of thrash and metal heritage, The New Order is one of Testaments best albums and a real contender for album of the 80's. Every song on here is a classic, Skolnick and Peterson's guitars are a match made in heaven and Chuck's younger, cleaner vocals are just epic.

You can't call yourself a thrasher if you don't own this album, but it's even unfair to weigh this album down with the encoumberence of thrash, this is a metal album, one of the best, and should be enjoyed by everyone.

================================================

5.0 out of 5 stars Testament vs Megadeth,
The New Order is argubly one of the best thrash albums ever released in the 80s, however, the prestige of this ass-kicking album is still not in a technical capacity of defeating Mustaine fronted Megadeth. Surely the New Order is as good as any of those gold statued albums produced by Megadeth, but if Testament has somebody who can see a big piture like James Hetfield in Metallica, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Kerring King of Slayer, and of course Dave Mastaine of Megadeth, their ending would be very different! Nevertheless, testament is still one of my favourite thrash acts in the 80s, I don't normally make any trade-off between one band and another, because I respect all those freaks, who possess the most feared instrumental dexterity as well as the capability to compose the technically demanding musical genre that very few people could ever contemplate!
