Best algebra text for Model Theory I'm looking for an algebra book that is tailored towards some of the ideas in Model Theory, I'm currently slogging through Hodges' Model Theory. I'm a bit rusty with my algebra and was curious if there are algebra texts aimed at Model Theory.

I know this is a bit old, but two other references that may be worth looking into are Grätzer's Universal Algebra and Mal'cev's Algebraic Systems. They both contain material on model theory and are done "in the spirit", so to speak, of this discipline. I specially Mal'cev's book; although its notation is a bit non-standard, I found the explanations relatively clear and it helped me a lot with understanding some of the tougher parts of model theory.
