For his pick this week, much like Chelsea did last week, Nick digs back into his formative years and picks one of his favorite albums of all time, alternative/nu metal power houses System of a Down's seminal 2001 album Toxicity! Chelsea gets her first full true listen to the album, surprised how much she already knows of it, while Nick gives some behind the scenes information on the making of this album recently acquired from frontman Serj Tankian's memoir Down with the System.
