Ooh, I can see it now. 
I've got a Best Of Anthrax Cd, never really felt the need to get more.

If it's "The Collection" (cruddy yellow cover?), it misses out Fistful of Metal entirely, which is a cardinal sin.
Anyway, I don't own this album. :oops: but I'm familiar with key tracks like A.I.R. and Madhouse. |

Yep to both points.

| Yeah, I've got that too, if crap like Bring the Noise and I'm the Man had been dropped for stuff like Deathrider then I probably would have followed up on Anthrax a lot quicker than I actually did. |

Meh, I quite like Bring The Noise. Agreed about how shite I'm The Man is, though.
I seem to have skirted Anthrax in my thrash journey (if you can call it that, not exactly my favourite genre...).

I don't think "I'm The Man" was ever intended to be taken seriously. It's tongue-in-cheek, but of course, the mainstream world seems to love that shit.
As for this album, great album, but I still feel that Persistence Of Time is their classic album. |

I agree concerning Persistence of Time. This is a very good album, no question about that; but I wouldn't call it a classic. As for I'm the Man, it is toungue-in-cheek, but the humour is very overt. I enjoyed it when I first heard it, but it does become tiring. |

Hmm...maybe. Unless it's uber-technical rifftastic thrash I'm not really interested, nowadays.

Hmmm... odd choice.
Medusa is the shit, though. |

It's an ok album from a once ok band.
If it wasnt for their major label support they wouldnt be big imo. |

A great album, full of good songs... But not sure that it's so great to deserve the classic status.
I always considered Among the Living and Persistence of Time to be more "classical" that this one. |

| I don't like this album a whole lot. I think the Armed and Dangerous EP is better. |

That EP is very good and is from the same sessions as "Spreading The Disease".....there is really no difference in the style of the songs. They released it just prior to "Spreading The Disease". |

| THe reason I like the EP better is because it lacks some of the shitty ass songs on the album proper. |

All the ones not written with Neil Turbin in the band.
That's what he's going to say, trust me. |

A.I.R., Madhouse, and all the other goofy songs they have on it. Armed and Dangerous is a kick ass song though. Gung ho is pretty good and so is Medusa.
And yeah DeadMachine, Neil Turbin's Anthrax is far superior to this craven shit that they started putting out in 85, and when you write such a thing don't write it like it should be dismissed easily, I think I'm totally correct in this respect. |
