	Great album, but of course it's going to be re-issued. And it will probably be re-re-issued too.

	Slayer, Meegadeth, and Testament in one night. Wish they were playing St. louis. Looks like Chicago it is.

	Can't wait for this tour!

	COMMENT \| Going to be a killer tour.. posted by : lundtheconqueror 11/17/2009 9:02:02 PM

	...but these re-issues are lame. Sorry guys, I'll get a shirt at the show, but not be double-dipped on your CD (no matter how awesome I think it is)! See you in Seattle!

	COMMENT \| why ... posted by : toodiesel 11/17/2009 9:07:18 PM

	why only 3 live tracks ??? and nothing off the new album live?? I love the band, but this is disappointing. Hopefully it shows up on amazonmp3 or emusic

	COMMENT \| definitely won't buy this posted by : Rusty Hurricane 11/17/2009 9:14:41 PM

	but that video fucking ruled!!

	COMMENT \| great album posted by : megal0maniac 11/17/2009 9:47:01 PM

	bu the tactic of re-releasing the album after 1 year, unless it has sold out is BAD !

	COMMENT \| Got The First posted by : Cereal Killer 11/17/2009 9:47:48 PM

	Screw this shit.

	COMMENT \| posted by : Fani Dilth 11/17/2009 9:57:39 PM

	I have the Scarecrow NB version that's a digi foldout with a bonus DVD of "The Making of TDOF" and a Photo Gallery... I wonder what this new bonus disc will contain. Either way, it's a slamming album.

	COMMENT \| R.A.666 posted by : I'mGonnaKillEddie. 11/17/2009 10:17:07 PM

	is singlehandedly keeping economy going!!! I love the LP, why not just release some vids (dvd)? No Way am I buying that! CD rules.

	COMMENT \| How about re-issuing their early catalog posted by : snipershot 11/17/2009 10:20:57 PM

	w/ bonus material of course. Take a clue from Amon Amarth...offer a full cd worth of content, not just a few tracks and clips.

	COMMENT \| FUCK YEAH!! posted by : Rotted Spine 11/17/2009 11:47:37 PM

	That video was awesome, I don't know why I didn't get into these guys sooner. Hell, I have heard of them so many times and heard some of their shit but I'm definitely a fan now for sure. Damn I love metal!! I must go to the show in Chicago!!

	COMMENT \| what? posted by : ice man 11/18/2009 2:20:05 AM

	Sorry but no thanks. I was playing this album today and love it. I always tend to buy tapes, records, cds many times over as I wear the shit out of them and this solid testament album is no different but so far its not skippin!

Because Atlantic/WMG own all those albums, and unless demand for the band quadruples or something... they aren't doing shit with the old stuff. As for this re-release, no bonus tracks from the album? Machine Head re-released their last album, but with bonus tracks and a DVD... extra content up the ass. This TFOD is barely worth thinking about.

	A couple of words for all you bands planning to reissue your last album a couple of years after it came out. Fuck.Off.

	COMMENT \| posted by : MetalMetalMetal 11/18/2009 4:16:29 AM

	fuck reissued

	COMMENT \| Great comeback album!!!! posted by : diabolical 11/18/2009 6:40:16 AM

	I bought the original, I guess time to run reissue as the first stock already ran out?

	COMMENT \| This is why.... posted by : art123guy 11/18/2009 8:07:53 AM

	....people download illegally.

	COMMENT \| oh yeah posted by : Hardcore666 11/18/2009 8:09:42 AM

	Testament + Halifax = Good times! Can't wait!

	COMMENT \| This is great. posted by : crush442 11/18/2009 8:54:55 AM

	My copy of Formation of Damnation is scratched beyond repair. I'll just wait for this version to get a new copy. American Carnage should be killer. If all goes well, I'll be at the Houston show. Testament's great and I've never seen Slayer or Megadeth. Speaking of Megadeth, do you think "Good Mourning/BLack Friday" is about the day after Thanksgiving? The lyrics to that song are pretty much how I feel about holiday insanity.

	COMMENT \| posted by : TheEagle 11/18/2009 12:10:53 PM

	Too all those who bought the original release (like I did): download! This re-issue is just to have something new to sell to the audience attending this megatour.

	COMMENT \| posted by : juanneman 11/18/2009 12:30:17 PM

	Why? Record companies, why? Senseless, stupid money-grabbers.

	COMMENT \| The video posted by : Zoo Keeper 666 11/18/2009 4:36:36 PM

	Holy shit, they sound fucking great!
