Tested is a live album by punk rock band Bad Religion that was recorded live in USA, Canada, Germany, Estonia, Denmark, Italy and Austria in 1996 and released in 1997. The unique thing about his album is the way that it was recorded. Instead of crowd mikes and "mobile studios," the band simply tapped the inputs. This results in a clean and crisp sound that accurately portrays Bad Religion's live sound, though without crowd noise. It also includes three new songs; "Dream Of Unity," "It's Reciprocal," and the title track.
