My Religion is the eighth studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT, released on 8 March 2004. It marked a return to the glam metal direction that ended with Realized Fantasies.

It is regarded by a large part of TNT's fanbase to be their best album ever, including more known albums such as Tell No Tales and Intuition. Sid Ringsby joined the band to finish the rest of the touring for My Religion and to record the follow-up album, All The Way to the Sun.

Guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø had suggested for the inclusion of several tracks from the 1992 album Realized Fantasies, however only the single "Downhill Racer" was included. No material was included from the band's most recent albums at the time, Firefly (1997) and Transistor (1999). The compilation also includes two newly recorded tracks, "Hey Love" and "Satellite", and an outtake from the Tell No Tales sessions, "Destiny".
All the Way to the Sun is the ninth studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT, first released on 21 October 2005.

The album received generally positive reviews, but not as many as their previous album, My Religion. It also sold less than the previous album. The band toured Norway to support the release, as well as shows in Sweden, the UK, and in Spain, where they recorded what became Live in Madrid. This was the last studio album with longtime vocalist Tony Harnell, before he left the band for professional and personal reasons. "Driving" has been played before several major car races in the USA.
