Except for Keep it in the Family and the Joe Jackson cover, I think this album is the poorest of the Belladonna-Era Anthrax. 65/100 for me.

???

it may not be the best they did, but far from the worst.

it's the heaviest and darkest of Belladonnas stuff, and I really dig it.

good review, and good choice

:dio:

I must admit that I find Belladonna's better suited for lighter/funnier material...

I like two songs on it, I cannot say it's a great album.

Sums my thoughts up but add Blood to the solid tracks.

if I said that I didn't like this album, would you say it's actually pretty good?

'Bout time this masterpiece finally got its due here.

This is easilly my favorite Belladonna album. The songs DO hint a little at the slower, more groove-oriented style they'd adapt during the Bush years (and Gridlock hints at the more punk-like direction they'd take on songs like Sodium Pentathol and Burst). But, being a fan of Bush-era Anthrax, that definitely isn't a bad thing for me.

Favorite Songs? Time, Keep It In The Family, Belly Of The Beast, Got The Time (probably my favorite - which is surprising since it's a cover), H8 Red (I like how, in this song, Anthrax delivers a good message without being too preachy or moralistic), and Discharge.

P.S. Zad, no offense buddy, but you may want to consider rephrasing this:

the album has grown a lot on me, though I can't say I'd listen to it too much, great review

Probably. Just to keep you on your toes. :wink:

I've never been a huge Anthrax fan, but this is my favorite album of theirs- Time, Gridlock, Blood, H8 Red are all great songs, and the Got the Time cover is very well done. Intro to Reality/Belly of the Beast is of course fantastic- probably my favourite Anthrax song. A few weaker tracks, though- never liked Keep it in the Family all that much. All in all a very solid album- 85/100.
