This pretty much describes my attitude on the situation. I'm really jazzed about the new "Testament" & "Portishead" CDs next week (nice opposites, heh?). Testament decided to stream the whole album on Myspace though and I finally brokedown and listened to it. I'm still anxious to listen to the album properly on the CD when it arrives, but my anxiety is greatly eased now and to some degree that disappoints me. Luckily, I have avoided all of the Portishead material even though several songs have popped up on the Internet.

A bit off topic, but I finally broke down and bought "Practice What You Preach" on CD recently..it was one of my favorite CDs when I first got into metal back in the mid to late '80's. Not sure how the current incarnation stacks up, but I may have to go check.
PS - Wasn't there an Eric Peterson that played guitar with them back then?
