A lot of Testament fans knock this album, but i have always felt it is their best by far. It gets better with every listen and has a great flow to it. I always thought it played as if it is one long and very awesome song.

On The Ritual, Testament moved away from their trademark speed-metal and began exploring slower, heavier territory. Instead of sounding like a retreat, the group sounds re-energized by the change in direction, as guitarist Alex Skolnick spits out a series of brutal riffs that manage to form memorable, powerful songs. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
