Great list 🤘 What I’ve read so far , the next Anthrax album will be even heavier . Some of these older bands just seem to get better with time ( tick tick ticking in my head lol ). 2019 will be a good year for metal 🤘
I was late to the Anthrax party. I mean late. I saw them open for Megadeth in '05 on the Gigantour. Joey was back in the band. Megadeth is my all time fav. But Anthrax came on and kicked their ass. I was floored. When they played Medusa. I was like: what is this!? This is awesome! I love it when a live performance wins you over.
Hey Darcy, yet another excellent video. Binging some of your videos tonight. Hope your not getting sick of me commenting (LOL??) Anyway, here's my list: 1) Spreading The Disease 2) Among The Living (1987 my brother & I got to mosh w/ Scott, Charlie & Frank at an in store album signing. They were such cool guys.) 3) Persistence Of Time 4) For All Kings 5) Sound Of White Noise 6) State Of Euphoria 7) Fistful Of Metal 8) Worship Music 9) We've Come For You All 10) Volume 8: The Threat Is Real 11) Stomp 442 (for me absolutely nothing good about this album) By the way, loved the Keel playing in the background. Just loud enough to hear yet not too loud to dominate. Good job.
The comments , thoughts & your feelings are the reason I’m here , keep it coming . That’s so cool you got to met these guys & mosh it up . I like that you have For All Kings high on the list , it’s a great album 👌 take care ~ Darcy
Be all and you'll be the end all, life can be a real ball,state of mind EUPHORIA. Great ranking. Let's not forget the I'm the man EP, that opened up new territories. For better or worse
This is one list that is absolutely hard to do. I love Persistence....came out in my senior year in high school. Saw them open for Iron Maiden. Just one of those bands that have never let me down. Always metal thrashing mad!!! LOL
I actually really love the album Volume 8, it’s really unique in my eyes. The history of this album is really interesting, with the struggle of the band and studio. I agree, Toast To The Extras is a B-side all day long, and it’s only the song I don’t really care for that’s one the album( besides 604 and Cupajoe). I think the secret bonus track Pieces is the best song off the album, along with Big Fat and Inside out in my opinion.
not a huuge fan of anthrax but i'd rank their albums like this: Good Albums 1. Worship Music 2. Persistence of Time 3. Among the Living 4. State of Euphoria Decent 5. For All Kings 6. Spreading the Disease Mediocre/Bad 7. Fistful of Metal 8. Sound of White Noise 9. We've Come for You all 10. Stomp 442 11. Vol 8

Nice to see Sound Of White Noise get some love , John Bush is fantastic , such a good album ! Can’t wait to see what the boys from Anthrax release in 2020 . Thanks Steven 🤘
Totally agree with you regarding John Bush. Very good vocalist, especially Armored Saint, but is not the voice for Anthrax. He and Scott got on great, and that's important, but Joey is the voice of Anthrax. Anthrax is, and has been, one of my top bands for years, but I have to admit, I've never played any of their albums without Joey. I have the Armed and Dangerous EP that has Neil singing a few songs. Only song I've heard with John Bush is "Only". A very good song, but didn't make me want to buy Sound of White Noise. Yes, I've heard it's very good, so I'll stream it one day.
My ranking for the Anthrax albums would be 11. Volume 8 The Threat Is Real 10. Stomp 442 9. We’ve Come For You All 8. Persistence Of Time 7. State Of Euphoria 6. Worship Music 5. For All Kings 4. The Sound Of White Noise 3. Fistful Of Metal 2. Spreading The Disease 1. Among The Living
Nice job Darcy! I agree, Among the Living is #1. Also, State of Euphoria seems to get overlooked. I keep hearing about how the band didn't feel it was finished and wished they had spend more time on it but I feel it is a great album. I never cared for John Bush and almost feel bad for them in the late 90's when they were really struggling.
Discovered your channel recently and really enjoy it. I absolutely loved For All Kings (Worship Music is good too) and feel it is a return to the Anthrax I've missed for so long. Sound of White Noise is good but I couldn't accept Joey not being in the band.
Hey Philip 🤝 glad to meet you ! This past Sunday I was listing to The Greater Of Two Evils , I’m sure you know the album with John singing Joey & Neil songs , anyways it’s ok but not great , I was thinking it would be like Joey singing Armored Saint songs , just wouldn’t work ! Joey is definitely the voice of Anthrax ! Thanks for watching , please stop by anytime , I’ll always get back to you ! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘 Stay Safe
That’s the fun part of these ranking videos , we all have our favourites & different times we get into bands , so certain time periods or albums may hold a special place ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Always interesting type of videos. I checked out the song I AM ALIVE from WORSHIP MUSIC, didnt remember that song, a good one. Nice video. I dont agree with the debut album, to me its in my top 3 for shore, but i agree with the JOHN BUSH era albums.
State of Euphoria is the album that introduced me to Anthrax so it'll be my #1 until the end. Among the Living and Persistence of Time are in a constant battle for 2nd place. I've listened to Among the Living so many times that I almost burnt myself out on it. I also had the live video N.F.V. on vhs when it first came out so there was even more Among the Living and I must have watched that in my room a gazillion times! The Sound of White Noise is probably the last Anthrax album that I dabbled with as death metal was taking over my musical interests and I had just started doing a death metal radio show on college radio when White Noise was released. Stomp 442 was also released during my days on the radio and I vividly remember seeing it with all the new albums that the different labels had sent our station, I specifically remember looking at the cover and thinking "hmmm, they changed their logo, well at least they're still around." I don't think I even gave it a listen, same thing with King Diamond's Spider's Lullaby...seen it at my radio station but I was full on into extreme metal so I never even played it once. Nowadays, I've gotten back to my roots and I can't get enough of the metal that I enjoyed as a teenager in the late 80's to around 1990, especially King Diamond, I've become obsessed with that band, not Mercyful Fate, just King Diamond. Anyway back to Anthrax. I'm really glad that Joey B. came back to the band...he's my favorite Anthrax singer. So, after Stomp was out, I completely lost track of Anthrax and everything else that was released after are like brand new albums for me. Honorable mention to the ep "I'm the Man" great stuff on it and the album cover has always been one of my favorites. I own Among the Living up until White Noise on cassette tape and cd and I've been buying all the rest of their albums that I never owned and I'm having a blast doing it! Great ranking video Darcy, I'm glad you made this one because I specifically searched for Anthrax ranking videos and blam! Yours popped up...perfect! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video Darcy, taking your advice and checking out you old school thrash videos, Among the Living is my favorite album ( top ten album of thrash classics) Agree with everything you say about John Bush, have you ever thought about a Pantera or Slayer video, would be very interested on how you would rank them? Stay Heavy Brother 🤘🤘
I’ve never heard the first 2 Pantera albums , the two before Cowboys From Hell , but do have everything else . I do have all Slayer’s studio albums , I’m sure I could do a ranking in the not so distance future 👍 Take care my friend ;)
Great rankings, Darcy. I'll go on the record and say that Sound of White Noise is an overlooked John Bush-era Anthrax album. Sure it's not thrash and sounds more grudge; but I can't deny that album had some really good songs on it.
MJNation I’m impressed , for a young guy you know your sh*t ! . I’m young at heart , ya I’m going with that lol . Ranking videos get hard to do near the top but , remember they are your rankings & your experiences with each album 🤘 stay heavy
AMONG THE LIVING and SPREADING THE DISEASE are the only Anthrax albums I have in my collection and I really dig them.Not a big fan of the band,but those two LP's are really good.
I have been buying their catalog on vinyl even the 3 eps just got For All Kings today Killer Bs and Worship are both coming I like Persistence the most I love Among but the Production always bothered me the guitar and kick on POT are Both what does it for me it’s a flawless album too ⏰
I hope the new album comes out this year, but I thinking 2024. I heard the leadtime on vinyl is 6 to 9 months, so who knows! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
The only one I’ve listened to is We’ve Come For You All and I thought it was great! If that’s one of their weaker albums, I can’t wait to hear their better ones!
I see keel back there .y favorite band. Lay down the law rock roll outlaw. Evil wicked .mean and nasty I said the wrong thing to the right girl he'll ya mate 🇬🇧
How we doing again Darcy Six?? Love your rankings lists...however...just like the Overkill rankings...I have to disagree with your list...here it goes... 11. Fistful of Metal 10. Spreading the Disease 9. State of Euphoria 8. Among the Living 7. Stomp 442 6. Worship Music 5. We've Come For You All 4. Persistence Of Time 3. Volume 8. 2. Sound of White Noise 1. For All Kings I've always favored Bush's vocals over Belladonna's...Joey knocked it out the park on vocals (finally) with For All Kings. Had he not done so...Sound of White Noise definitely takes number one hands down. I put Volume 8 high in the ranking too...thats because in my personal opinion...the solo fill performed on the track "Inside Out" could very well be one of the greatest solos by Dimebag Darrell ever...and yes...I am saying that it is better than 98 percent of his Pantera solos...and those were mind-blowing.
Hey JR 🤘 I’m doing great , hope you are too ! I don’t mind a good disagreement lol , nice to see your list . You know I love John Bush & Sound Of White Noise is pure gold but I’ve always liked him better in Armored Saint . I hope we see the follow up to For All kings soon , 2016 feels like ages ago !
Hey Darcy what's up I wanted to ask you a question that when you buy vinyl records and you say that they come with the paper sleeve or whatever that's cheap. What do you replace it with I would appreciate if you got back to me rock on
1. Among The Living 2. State Of Euphoria 3. Persistence of Time 4. Spreading the Disease 5. Worship Music 6. For All Kings 7. Fistful of Metal 8. Sound of White Noise 9. Volume 8, The Threat is Real 10. We’ve Come For You All 11. Stomp 442
#1 among the living - Classic sound of white noise - Strong we come for you all - Strong state of euphoria - Fun Fun Fun worship music - Good Comeback persistence of time - Dark, too long spreading decease - Big hits, some filler for all kings - overproduced filler stomp 442 - bad experimence fistfull metal - weak ideas #11 Vol 8- uninspired
Anthrax are great! Among the Living and Spreading the Disease are great. I think the rest are so so. They do have individual tracks that are great but as albums they are nowhere near. I saw them live with Metallica/Megadeth/Slayer and they were OK (I did not prelisten to them). But prior to them opening for Slayer two years ago I went out of my way to make a playlist on Spotify with the most likely tracks being played live (except from Among the Living/Spreading) and kept spinning it and started to like every song, and then they played almost all the songs (and a handfull of bangers from Among/Spreading) and it was glorious! (Obituary were great also, unfortunatly Lamb of God was a snooze-fest before Slayer killed it for the last time on Swedish soil.)
11. Stomp 442 (Generic riffs and just nothing interesting on it.) 10. Volume 8 (Kinda weird and different, there's some songs on it i like.) 9. Worship Music (Not thrashy, and just sounds like every other metal band out there) 8. We've Come For You All (Decent.) 7. Persistence Of Time (Good. Maybe at times slightly boring, but i appreciate it.) 6. For All Kings (A damn solid album) 5. Fistful Of Metal (Just a really fun time of brainless metal) 4. State Of Euphoria (A fun great album) 3. Sound Of White Noise (Serious and dark in tone, just a great 90's album.) 2. Among The Living (Thrashterpiece.) 1. Spreading The Disease (Thrashterpiece)
Yes I like KISS , I have all their studio albums . I haven’t listened to them lately , I’ll have give them a listen & possibly do a ranking . Thanks for the suggestion 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
The band is Keel & the album is called The Final Frontier , came out in ‘86 produced by Gene Simmons , pretty good album ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
11. Stomp 442 10. Volume 8: The Threat Is Real 9. We've Come For You All 8. Sound of White Noise (pretty strong album, but the whole John Bush era is lacking something that I like about anthrax. The fact that I'm ranking this album pretty low might piss some people off) 7. Worship Music 6. Fistful of Metal (again, this might piss some people off that I'm ranking this one higher than people think I should. This album does not get the credit that it deserves. This is definitely their best album without Joey Belladonna) 5. For All Kings 4. Spreading The Disease 3. State of Euphoria 2. Among The Living (me ranking this at number two might get me killed 😂 it's a perfect album, but maybe a slight bit overrated) 1. Persistence of Time
Hey Matt nice ranking & hey there’s no killing for your placement of Among 😂 Have you been watching all the episodes of the Anthrax 40th Anniversary ? Pretty cool stuff ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Persistence of Time is my favorite. Heavy, dark and intense from start to finish. No filler. The other albums with Belladonna tend to have some clunkers. And I really think the Bush era albums should get more love. I think Bush has a better voice overall than Belladonna. A deeper, fuller metal voice. I really hated when this band got into that rap garbage. That was just awful.
Persistence Of Time is definitely a heavier & darker album , I think I like it more today then I did when it first came out ! I think John Bush is one of metal’s premier vocalist , I love most of what he did with Anthrax but prefer him in Armored Saint ! Lol yeah no rap for me ! Thanks as always 🤘 Take care David
Me again. I won’t rate any of these bands albums from first to last. I’ll leave that up to you. Just add a few comments. I’m surprised Volume 8 is last and so low on most people’s list. They have worse albums in my opinion . Stomp 442, We’ve come for you all and Fistful are weaker, just my opinion though. Could never quite get into State Of Euphoria as much as the other classic era Belladonna ones for some reason. Their best one is Spreading The Disease.
Strange how you ranked Stomp 442. I've always considered it Anthrax's weakest album. I can't think of a song on it that pops out at me as a favorite, whereas WCFYA and Volume 8 are full of great songs. I think Inside out and Crush are probably 2 of my favorite Anthrax songs. Having said that Anthrax albums are hard to rank, because other than Stomp I really enjoy them all. But Joey was the singer I was raised on in the 80's and there's a sense of nostalgia I have with those albums that I don't have with John. I would honestly put Fist Full of Metal last. It's an album full of great songs, that I've finally come to appreciate due to my changing taste, but Neil Turbin's vocals are love em or hate em depending on what type of metal you like. Although it contains the song that dubbed a genre "Metal Thrashing Mad" to me it's more of a speed metal album than a thrash album. I think I finally like it because I've kind of grown fond of speed metal this last year with bands like Exciter. Have your read Scott Ian's book? It's a great read and he talks about the decline of Anthrax in the 90's. He blames a lot of it on Elektra changing heads and the new lady in charge didn't like metal, or Anthrax, and said she would never have signed them and she didn't want to promote the bands at all and didn't. My favorite is Spreading the Disease. It's got great guitar tone, and probably has the most melody of Anthrax's early "classic" line up material.
Hey Greg 👋 Really not a whole lot jumps out at me with those bottom four , not a lot of memorable tracks ! I agree with you on Fistful being a speed metal album , definitely reminds me of any of the first 3 Exciter albums , love those albums btw ! No I haven’t read Scott Ian’s book yet , I know I should but I’m the slowest reader on earth lol . You can see I really like Spreading The Disease a lot , honestly it’s a coin flip with Among The Living for #1 . Hope you had a great New Years & thanks as always for stoping by 🤘 much appreciated :))
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Just curious if you've heard of the new Speed Metal band from Calgary called Riot City who released their debut album "Burn The Night" in 2019? If you haven't you should check it out. It's impressive and it screams of influences from Exciter, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. But Scott Ian's book was a great read and highly recommended. I'm not much of a reader myself but I do enjoy music biographies. K.K. Downings was another good one, and I'm looking forward to Rob Halford's book coming out this year.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Same. I put it in my Amazon cart too. lol Along with King Diamond live 1987 vinyl, Trouble live in Los Angeles vinyl, St Vitus live volume 2 vinyl(I have this on CD but love it and want it on vinyl), Voivod -Roar vinyl and Dio- Intermission on Vinyl. Just waiting for payday before I pull the trigger.
I'll just rank the albums that I like. 7) Fistful of Metal 6) Persistence of Time 5) White Noise (only successful album they did with Bush) 4) For all Kings 3) Spreading the Disease 2) Among the Living 1) State of Euphoria
They definitely lost their way on that album & that’s with next to zero help from Ignition Records , who shortly after went tits up ! The next album We’ve Come For You All was much better & a step in the right direction ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives As you say man it’s all personal preference . For me thought it’s we’ve come for you all as the strongest of the Bush albums and my favourite modern Anthrax record . Then For all kings , I dig the songs a bit more than Worship music plus it was an album written for Joey so I find it fits his voice more. Lastly Worship music , an album they kinda had to put out to survive so I probably judge it a bit harshly , but it was written with John or Dan Nelson in mind so it’s kinda a half way house that never fully lives up to its potential . This was also the first tour I saw them on with Joey, and having seen them with John at Sonisphere England a year before I wasn’t very impressed with Joey live having been introduced to Anthrax live with John so it’s always been a bit of a sour one for me .
I don't know,I could never take this band seriously.Maybe because of their silly photo sessions,or maybe because of Ian's stupid behavior,maybe because their lyrics seem to me sort of shallow and unconvincing? ...I don't know. I know that they surely do not deserve to be included into the BIG FOUR thing.There are plenty of better bands from the area,bands like Testament,Overkill or Exodus for instance...
The big four is not the 4 best, it's just the first ones to do it and be successful and influential. That's what the big 4 mean, also they are arguably the 4 most popular. And I love that they are a little goofy sometimes, I hate how everything is always so serious. Metal is about having fun.
@@Mr.Truxton Well...It is arguable that the famous big 4 bands were the first to do thrash. It is also arguable that metal is about having fun.I would rather say that it has always been about expressing anger and rebellion.And about talking topics that mainstream music has been avoiding for decades.Death,evil,Satan, chaos,fear,murder,mutilation,violence,dark sexual urges ,religious oppression etc...

Stomp 442 was also released during my days on the radio and I vividly remember seeing it with all the new albums that the different labels had sent our station, I specifically remember looking at the cover and thinking "hmmm, they changed their logo, well at least they're still around." I don't think I even gave it a listen, same thing with King Diamond's Spider's Lullaby...seen it at my radio station but I was full on into extreme metal so I never even played it once. Nowadays, I've gotten back to my roots and I can't get enough of the metal that I enjoyed as a teenager in the late 80's to around 1990, especially King Diamond, I've become obsessed with that band, not Mercyful Fate, just King Diamond. Anyway back to Anthrax. I'm really glad that Joey B. came back to the band...he's my favorite Anthrax singer. So, after Stomp was out, I completely lost track of Anthrax and everything else that was released after are like brand new albums for me. Honorable mention to the ep "I'm the Man" great stuff on it and the album cover has always been one of my favorites. I own Among the Living up until White Noise on cassette tape and cd and I've been buying all the rest of their albums that I never owned and I'm having a blast doing it! Great ranking video Darcy, I'm glad you made this one because I specifically searched for Anthrax ranking videos and blam! Yours popped up...perfect!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sound of white noise is in my top 5 for Anthrax
Great choice ! I love that album 🤘
Great video Darcy, taking your advice and checking out you old school thrash videos, Among the Living is my favorite album ( top ten album of thrash classics) Agree with everything you say about John Bush, have you ever thought about a Pantera or Slayer video, would be very interested on how you would rank them? Stay Heavy Brother 🤘🤘
I’ve never heard the first 2 Pantera albums , the two before Cowboys From Hell , but do have everything else . I do have all Slayer’s studio albums , I’m sure I could do a ranking in the not so distance future 👍 Take care my friend ;)
Killer that you have keel in t he background....awesome
Yes I was lucky to find a near mint copy for $15 🇨🇦
Great rankings, Darcy. I'll go on the record and say that Sound of White Noise is an overlooked John Bush-era Anthrax album. Sure it's not thrash and sounds more grudge; but I can't deny that album had some really good songs on it.
Tainted Lord87 thanks very much ! Ya love John Bush , people don’t realize he was very close to being the vocalist for Metallica 🤘stay heavy
Nice ranking. Nice to see Volume 8 at the bottom. Spreading The Disease and Among The Living also flip back and forth as my favorite.
MJNation I’m impressed , for a young guy you know your sh*t ! . I’m young at heart , ya I’m going with that lol . Ranking videos get hard to do near the top but , remember they are your rankings & your experiences with each album 🤘 stay heavy
AMONG THE LIVING and SPREADING THE DISEASE are the only Anthrax albums I have in my collection and I really dig them.Not a big fan of the band,but those two LP's are really good.
I have been buying their catalog on vinyl even the 3 eps just got For All Kings today Killer Bs and Worship are both coming I like Persistence the most I love Among but the Production always bothered me the guitar and kick on POT are Both what does it for me it’s a flawless album too ⏰
My favourite band too.
I hope the new album comes out this year, but I thinking 2024. I heard the leadtime on vinyl is 6 to 9 months, so who knows! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Dreams r not enough awesome song. Cold day in he'll 🇬🇧
Really enjoy these shows. Spreading the disease waa the first thrash album I bought.
Thanks very much ! Spreading is such a great thrash album , still enjoying it to this day ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 And cheers from Bournemouth UK.
Keel the finale frontier. Just another girl awesome song here today gone tomorrow
The only one I’ve listened to is We’ve Come For You All and I thought it was great! If that’s one of their weaker albums, I can’t wait to hear their better ones!
We’ve Come For You All is a good album , but yes there are a few absolute classics for you to check out next 🤘 Thanks for watching :)
I see keel back there .y favorite band. Lay down the law rock roll outlaw. Evil wicked .mean and nasty I said the wrong thing to the right girl he'll ya mate 🇬🇧
How we doing again Darcy Six?? Love your rankings lists...however...just like the Overkill rankings...I have to disagree with your list...here it goes...
11. Fistful of Metal
10. Spreading the Disease
9. State of Euphoria
8. Among the Living
7. Stomp 442
6. Worship Music
5. We've Come For You All
4. Persistence Of Time
3. Volume 8.
2. Sound of White Noise
1. For All Kings
I've always favored Bush's vocals over Belladonna's...Joey knocked it out the park on vocals (finally) with For All Kings. Had he not done so...Sound of White Noise definitely takes number one hands down. I put Volume 8 high in the ranking too...thats because in my personal opinion...the solo fill performed on the track "Inside Out" could very well be one of the greatest solos by Dimebag Darrell ever...and yes...I am saying that it is better than 98 percent of his Pantera solos...and those were mind-blowing.
Hey JR 🤘 I’m doing great , hope you are too ! I don’t mind a good disagreement lol , nice to see your list . You know I love John Bush & Sound Of White Noise is pure gold but I’ve always liked him better in Armored Saint . I hope we see the follow up to For All kings soon , 2016 feels like ages ago !
Hey Darcy what's up I wanted to ask you a question that when you buy vinyl records and you say that they come with the paper sleeve or whatever that's cheap. What do you replace it with I would appreciate if you got back to me rock on
I did reply back to you on the Helloween boxset video . I sent you a link to a video of the exact sleeves I use ! Can you see my reply ?
These are the ones I use , they work great . I buy them from Amazon : th-cam.com/video/WMYmwSJKKiA/w-d-xo.html

stomp 442 - bad experimence
fistfull metal - weak ideas
#11 Vol 8- uninspired
Anthrax are great! Among the Living and Spreading the Disease are great. I think the rest are so so. They do have individual tracks that are great but as albums they are nowhere near.
I saw them live with Metallica/Megadeth/Slayer and they were OK (I did not prelisten to them). But prior to them opening for Slayer two years ago I went out of my way to make a playlist on Spotify with the most likely tracks being played live (except from Among the Living/Spreading) and kept spinning it and started to like every song, and then they played almost all the songs (and a handfull of bangers from Among/Spreading) and it was glorious! (Obituary were great also, unfortunatly Lamb of God was a snooze-fest before Slayer killed it for the last time on Swedish soil.)
Hi Darcy. Not really into Anthrax, but it was interesting to see your ranking.
ANDREWBALLINA Ya hard for some people to get into Anthrax but , I love the 80’s stuff the most 🤘thank for tuning in
Most people like Anthrax, but for me, I can't get into the vocals. Oh well, we like what we like and you can't like everything.
ANDREWBALLINA Testament will be up next , I’ll be ranking all 11 studio albums . That’s should be right up your alley 👌
Awesome, can't wait
11. Stomp 442 (Generic riffs and just nothing interesting on it.)
10. Volume 8 (Kinda weird and different, there's some songs on it i like.)
9. Worship Music (Not thrashy, and just sounds like every other metal band out there)
8. We've Come For You All (Decent.)
7. Persistence Of Time (Good. Maybe at times slightly boring, but i appreciate it.)
6. For All Kings (A damn solid album)
5. Fistful Of Metal (Just a really fun time of brainless metal)
4. State Of Euphoria (A fun great album)
3. Sound Of White Noise (Serious and dark in tone, just a great 90's album.)
2. Among The Living (Thrashterpiece.)
1. Spreading The Disease (Thrashterpiece)
I personally really like the last two Anthrax albums. BTW, what do you think about Kiss? You like them? Will yo do a rank? Cheers!
Yes I like KISS , I have all their studio albums . I haven’t listened to them lately , I’ll have give them a listen & possibly do a ranking . Thanks for the suggestion 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 You're welcome! Cheers from Montevideo, Uruguay!
What's the record in the backgriund?
The band is Keel & the album is called The Final Frontier , came out in ‘86 produced by Gene Simmons , pretty good album ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Nice Ranking! Which LP is playing in the Background?
Thank you very much ! That’s Keel The Final Frontier playing , very solid album ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Nice one, cheers from Austria 🤘
So tough for to choose between Spreading & Among. But since Spreading has my fav Anthrax song it would take first
Black Star Vinyl let me guess , Armed & Dangerous ? 🤔 umm
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives nope close second. It's Medusa
Me too! lotsa people don't like Medusa...I love it.
What was that band you were playing in the background
The band is Keel , the album is called The Final Frontier , great stuff from the 80’s !
Wow
Did Iron Maiden copy that from kneel
I don’t think so , it’s a pretty popular saying !
Oh
11. Stomp 442
10. Volume 8: The Threat Is Real
9. We've Come For You All
8. Sound of White Noise (pretty strong album, but the whole John Bush era is lacking something that I like about anthrax. The fact that I'm ranking this album pretty low might piss some people off)
7. Worship Music
6. Fistful of Metal (again, this might piss some people off that I'm ranking this one higher than people think I should. This album does not get the credit that it deserves. This is definitely their best album without Joey Belladonna)
5. For All Kings
4. Spreading The Disease
3. State of Euphoria
2. Among The Living (me ranking this at number two might get me killed 😂 it's a perfect album, but maybe a slight bit overrated)
1. Persistence of Time
Hey Matt nice ranking & hey there’s no killing for your placement of Among 😂 Have you been watching all the episodes of the Anthrax 40th Anniversary ? Pretty cool stuff ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I have been watching all those episodes, and I'm pretty excited for what they have planned!!!
Me too ! Stay Heavy Matt 🤘
I went to church in the nude evil wicked mean and nasty my voice is raspy 🇬🇧
Persistence of Time is my favorite. Heavy, dark and intense from start to finish. No filler. The other albums with Belladonna tend to have some clunkers. And I really think the Bush era albums should get more love. I think Bush has a better voice overall than Belladonna. A deeper, fuller metal voice. I really hated when this band got into that rap garbage. That was just awful.
Persistence Of Time is definitely a heavier & darker album , I think I like it more today then I did when it first came out ! I think John Bush is one of metal’s premier vocalist , I love most of what he did with Anthrax but prefer him in Armored Saint ! Lol yeah no rap for me ! Thanks as always 🤘 Take care David
Me again. I won’t rate any of these bands albums from first to last. I’ll leave that up to you. Just add a few comments.
I’m surprised Volume 8 is last and so low on most people’s list. They have worse albums in my opinion . Stomp 442, We’ve come for you all and Fistful are weaker, just my opinion though. Could never quite get into State Of Euphoria as much as the other classic era Belladonna ones for some reason.
Their best one is Spreading The Disease.
Strange how you ranked Stomp 442. I've always considered it Anthrax's weakest album. I can't think of a song on it that pops out at me as a favorite, whereas WCFYA and Volume 8 are full of great songs. I think Inside out and Crush are probably 2 of my favorite Anthrax songs. Having said that Anthrax albums are hard to rank, because other than Stomp I really enjoy them all. But Joey was the singer I was raised on in the 80's and there's a sense of nostalgia I have with those albums that I don't have with John. I would honestly put Fist Full of Metal last. It's an album full of great songs, that I've finally come to appreciate due to my changing taste, but Neil Turbin's vocals are love em or hate em depending on what type of metal you like. Although it contains the song that dubbed a genre "Metal Thrashing Mad" to me it's more of a speed metal album than a thrash album. I think I finally like it because I've kind of grown fond of speed metal this last year with bands like Exciter. Have your read Scott Ian's book? It's a great read and he talks about the decline of Anthrax in the 90's. He blames a lot of it on Elektra changing heads and the new lady in charge didn't like metal, or Anthrax, and said she would never have signed them and she didn't want to promote the bands at all and didn't. My favorite is Spreading the Disease. It's got great guitar tone, and probably has the most melody of Anthrax's early "classic" line up material.
Hey Greg 👋 Really not a whole lot jumps out at me with those bottom four , not a lot of memorable tracks ! I agree with you on Fistful being a speed metal album , definitely reminds me of any of the first 3 Exciter albums , love those albums btw ! No I haven’t read Scott Ian’s book yet , I know I should but I’m the slowest reader on earth lol . You can see I really like Spreading The Disease a lot , honestly it’s a coin flip with Among The Living for #1 . Hope you had a great New Years & thanks as always for stoping by 🤘 much appreciated :))
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Just curious if you've heard of the new Speed Metal band from Calgary called Riot City who released their debut album "Burn The Night" in 2019? If you haven't you should check it out. It's impressive and it screams of influences from Exciter, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. But Scott Ian's book was a great read and highly recommended. I'm not much of a reader myself but I do enjoy music biographies. K.K. Downings was another good one, and I'm looking forward to Rob Halford's book coming out this year.
Riot City is in my Amazon cart as we speak , I just need to pull the trigger lol . I’m looking forward to Rob’s book very much !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Same. I put it in my Amazon cart too. lol Along with King Diamond live 1987 vinyl, Trouble live in Los Angeles vinyl, St Vitus live volume 2 vinyl(I have this on CD but love it and want it on vinyl), Voivod -Roar vinyl and Dio- Intermission on Vinyl. Just waiting for payday before I pull the trigger.
the first six albums are their best. after that the rest were not good
I'll just rank the albums that I like.
7) Fistful of Metal
6) Persistence of Time
5) White Noise (only successful album they did with Bush)
4) For all Kings
3) Spreading the Disease
2) Among the Living
1) State of Euphoria
Funny how Volume 8 is universally agreed as Anthrax's worst album.
They definitely lost their way on that album & that’s with next to zero help from Ignition Records , who shortly after went tits up ! The next album We’ve Come For You All was much better & a step in the right direction ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Sorry dude but in no universe is worship music or For all Kings better than We've come for you !
Mega ducK thanks for the feedback , how would you rate those 3 albums ? 🤘
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives As you say man it’s all personal preference .
For me thought it’s
we’ve come for you all as the strongest of the Bush albums and my favourite modern Anthrax record . Then For all kings , I dig the songs a bit more than Worship music plus
it was an album written for Joey so I find it fits his voice more.
Lastly Worship music , an album they kinda had to put out to survive so I probably judge it a bit harshly , but it was written with John or Dan Nelson in mind so it’s kinda a half way house that never fully lives up to its potential . This was also the first tour I saw them on with Joey, and having seen them with John at Sonisphere England a year before I wasn’t very impressed with Joey live having been introduced to Anthrax live with John so it’s always been a bit of a sour one for me .
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives What do you think of “The greater of two evils “ ?
Mega ducK you know your stuff 🤘 Are you a Armored Saint fan ? Symbol of Salvation is one of my all time favs !
Mega ducK I have it , I honestly haven’t spun it enough to give you my thoughts . I’ll get back to you on that lol🤘
I don't know,I could never take this band seriously.Maybe because of their silly photo sessions,or maybe because of Ian's stupid behavior,maybe because their lyrics seem to me sort of shallow and unconvincing? ...I don't know. I know that they surely do not deserve to be included into the BIG FOUR thing.There are plenty of better bands from the area,bands like Testament,Overkill or Exodus for instance...
The big four is not the 4 best, it's just the first ones to do it and be successful and influential. That's what the big 4 mean, also they are arguably the 4 most popular. And I love that they are a little goofy sometimes, I hate how everything is always so serious. Metal is about having fun.
@@Mr.Truxton Well...It is arguable that the famous big 4 bands were the first to do thrash. It is also arguable that metal is about having fun.I would rather say that it has always been about expressing anger and rebellion.And about talking topics that mainstream music has been avoiding for decades.Death,evil,Satan, chaos,fear,murder,mutilation,violence,dark sexual urges ,religious oppression etc...
