096: Top 10 Thrash Albums of 1989

For the year that gave us dial-up internet, Global Positioning System satellites, and "Seinfeld", 1989 gave us an equally legendary year in Thrash (and that's including Metallica's absurd Grammy "loss" to Jethro Tull. Insert retroactively-effective kancel-kulture tantrum-sigh here.)

JOIN US and behold the painstaking craftsmanship and delicately balanced relaxer levels required to manifest such a totally subjective, potentially speculative, and muchly suspective lysticle as METAL NERDERY PODCAST'S TOP 10 THRASH ALBUMS OF 1989.
