Wait, Mike and Neal got into a fight over SOAD? Why, it's a fantastic record!
I doubt they were trying to One-up DT with that record. SOAD and TA are both awesome in their own way.
The only way they may have one-upped DT is that they managed to capture SOAD live (on two different occasions, Tilburg and Morsefest) for a dvd release,, and it is a darn good one (Tilburg) at that! Morsefest 2017 Will be released soon. There is no TA live release.. shrug.
