 The Best Anthrax Album! December 25, 2008
Reijo Piippula (Turku, Finland)
I had listened to Anthrax's music for years thinking that their best album was "Among the Living". When I found this album in all-time top100 list, I decided to buy. I had only heard the songs "Madhouse" and "Armed And Dangerous" before that. When the song "A.I.R." started the album I was amazed. "This is SO GREAT", I thought. The whole album went through and the final numbers "Medusa" and "Gung-Ho" proved that the purchase was worth money. This is one of the best thrash metal albums ever, and defintely the best Anthrax album although "Among the Living" is still a great album. This is defintely in my top list from now on. br /Stars: Armed And Dangerous, Madhouse, A.I.R.
 Their Only Good Album April 5, 2008
Octavius (United States)
Anthrax has to be one of the most overrated thrash bands to come out the '80s and this album is really the best one they ever made. br / br /Charlie Benante is great on drums but Dan Spitz is just a lousy guitarist. Anthrax's solos pretty much just suck! Joey Belladonna is OK but his whinning voice gets old. br / br /A.I.R. and Madhouse are the two best songs on the album. The rest is OK but I find Anthrax to be just overrated in comparison to other thrash such as Pantera or Slayer. Good riffs; decent vocals and drums; mostly dum lyrics; and, simply lousy solo work. Makes me think of a decent garage band you invite for a summer block party with beer kegs. After a few beers the music starts sounding really great for a mosh with friends but that's about it.
Anthrax at their best. January 8, 2008
Puzzle box (Kuwait)
This is a great thrash album from Anthrax, its fast and energetic but also has alot of melody. What separates Anthrax from the rest of the thrash groups were their ability to sound different and not to mention their great and memorable songs like Madhouse, Gung Ho, A.I.R ect. Its hard to believe that this album was released in 1985 during the height of hair metal and yet this sounds nothing like those corny hair or glam metal bands, Anthrax's songs are very hard hitting and they just simply rock without having any gimmicks and Joey's singing was brilliant much better than that first guy from their debut album. The best songs are Madhouse which was their biggest hit and it has some killer riffs I also liked Medusa which was a very catchy song as well as A.I.R and Gung Ho and the ballad song Armed and dangerous which also manages to thrash at the end. Anthrax were a great group and they were definitely ahead of their time along with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer who managed to influence alot of heavy metal groups during the 80's so if you want the best thrash album from the 80's then you can't go wrong with this album, make sure that you also get Anthrax's third album Among The Living if you liked this.

this 1985 masterpiece from anthrax is the follow up to fistfull of metal,both are high quality metal discs,this disc is awesome!this disc along with others kickstarted the thrash/speed metal scene which had been growing since the early 80`s,to me this disc has it`s place in metal lore,along with slayer,metallica megadeath,exodus,known as the big 5 that basically changed the world of heavy music.this is a classic disc and anthrax is a classic band,

This album showcases Anthrax in their glory. This music was my introduction to metal. Before I heard Anthrax I thought metal was all cheezy hair glam bands on MTV. Anthrax showed me how to rock. This album is one of their best and definately a metal classic. It manages to be melodic and yet blisteringly fast at the same time.
