This album is a return to serenity for all metalheads.

This has got to be one of my favorite Testament albums. Not only does it feature the clean vocals for which I loved Chuck Billy but this is the last Testament album to do so and feature the amazing Alex Skolnick. This album is very diverse, offering up mellow passages as well as the Thrash Metal goodness that made the band legendary. My personal favorites here are the title track, "Electric Crown", "As the Seasons Grey", and "Return to Serenity" (which features one the best guitar solos I've ever heard).

Very good album, especially if you like the early Testament.
