    I've rarely listened to Anthrax but it's nice to reflect back on them because they're just generally awesome 😃 I think Anthrax's Fistful Of Metal *is* their best because that album is the one I grew up with and it's a childhood classic.

    The absolute number 1 for me is Sound of White Noise. The production, the songs everything is perfect on this !
    I discovered the albums with Belladonna afterwards, and I much prefer John Bush even if he is not the singer of the classic line up. I have a lot of trouble with Belladonna's voice. Among The Living is the one of this era.

    @matthooper2905 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think that the first 5 Anthrax records are complete records..maybe sound of white noise to. The rest of the albums feel like half a record of good anthrax songs then half a record of experimentation..which sometimes is good but sometimes causes a switch off..I think we've come for you all is a classic example of this..the first half is solid.
    My ranking would be
    1. persistence of time
    2.among the living
    3. greater of 2 evils
    4. fistful of metal
    5. spreading the disease
    6. sound of white noise
    7. state of euphoria
    8. worship music
    9. For all kings
    10. volume 8
    11. stomp 442

    I can't argue with the top 4 choices, but I would have ranked them a little differently. I was very surprised to see Worship Music and For all Kings as low as they were. In my honest opinion, all of the Joey albums are better than the Bush albums.

  • @NegiTaiMetal011
    @NegiTaiMetal011 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My most favorite Anthrax album is Among the Living. Persistence of Time and Spreading the Disease are my favorites too.
    Not sure how others feel about this, but State of Euphoria isn't really among my favorites. It's just alright and there are a few good songs. While it's great that Joey Belladonna is back, the modern Anthrax albums are not what I consider classics but they are somewhat good and tolerable. They still rock to a degree.
    You have to forgive me if I'm not interested in the John Bush albums; they just don't interest me since Anthrax changed their sound and style. I give it a shot, just doesn't feel the energy. You got to forgive me more that I don't like their rap songs I'm the Man and Bring the Noise. And Fistful of Metal isn't bad but is just ok to me.

    This is a tough one for me because I completely checked out after Joey Belladonna's departure. I'll admit, I like "Sound Of White Noise", but pretty much the rest of the John Bush era sounds like a crappy Pantera rip off to me. However, my top 4 would have been way different. This is how I rank them:
    1.) Among The Living
    2.) Fistful Of Metal
    3.) State Of Euphoria
    4.) Persistence Of Time
    It is good to hear the positives of the new Joey Belladonna albums, though. I'll definitely have to check them out.
