Welcome thrashers to another episode! We would love to hear from and let us know what you're favorite Testament albums are!

Thanks for the shout-out regarding last week's contest, Ken! I appreciate that. Maybe we can all meet up sometime at a festival, or something...I don't get out to those all the time like Billy, but hopefully I can start getting to more of them. Went to Hell's Heroes this past March, that was a blast!
My favorite Testament album is probably The Legacy, followed so closely by New Order that it might as well be a tie. After that, probably Practice; although I'm not nearly as familiar with that one as I am with the first two because I never had that album back in the day when it was released...I've had it now for only a few years, and while it's an excellent album, nostalgia doesn't play any part in it for me, and the nostalgia factor is very strong for me regarding albums.

Anytime my friend! Please let us know when you get the shirt. Billy will mailing it out to you. Again, thanks for listening each week. We really appreciate the support! Maybe we will meet up sometime at a festival!
