I guess it's hard to do classic thrash wrong. So my journey into their discography re-begins! A safe start, I love this sound and style. Don’t stop before you get to The Sound Of White Noise. I have a feeling that might be the one for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I played it safe starting at the beginning, I always liked this album a lot. Enjoyed it a lot tonight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve actually never checked out the debut. I almost bought it once but opted for I think Kill Em All instead that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who will be like "bleh bleh bleh Metallica are amazing" but the more I look into thrash and death metal, the more I think they got lucky. Not one album ranks that high for me. But glad they are super successful. Rather Metallica than Korn. But yeah, I love bands with great drumming. Anthrax have that, Metallica don't (I don't give a f**k what bigger fans think, enjoy them all you want, Metallica are no Testament). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig what Lars did for the first 4 records, and some of the stuff on the Black Album was pretty sick too. But yeah I'd agree Benante can blow him out of the water at will. Lars' best talent was writing interesting drum parts to go with James' riffs, which he kinda stopped doing when they got really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Anthrax- Spreading The Disease Holy f**k, I loved this! What happened to me between this play and the last? I might add Anthrax to my own Big Four if they keep this up! (Mekong Delta, Testament, Kreator, Death are my current top four, but I know Death is heavily seen as death metal so I could let them go). I'm probably overreacting but I'm replaying this and having serious fun!! A.I.R. is an exceptional opener! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly? Nothing much excites me about his work at all. But hey ho, not hating on Metallica because I have a huge fondness for them. My respect outweighs my enjoyment levels. It's just a lof of bands were doing what Metallica were doing, and many I think did it better (Death Angel, Exodus, Overkill, Testament, Megadeth, Flotsam And Jetsam, Sabbat, Exhorder, Judas Priest 😉 ) Edited December 5, 2022 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the first singer and Charlie, the band's main music writer, didn't really write much for the album. It doesn't really have that Anthrax sound quite yet. That's why I usually tell people to start with Spreading The Disease. This is where I think Anthrax truly begins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
