Free Music Notes for Volume 8: The Threat Is Real
Free Music Review: IMO the best Anthrax disc
Hit: 5 Stars
Aside from the original stuff, this CD is by far the best Anthrax CD with the new singer. Free Music Review: Bar None - Anthrax's best
Hit: 5 Stars
From the opener to the Killer track 'Stealing From a Thief' this is the best of all Anthrax cd's. This could have been huge if they had proper airplay and were taken seriously at the time. Much better than Stomp442 and a bit better than 'White Noise'. John Bush was perfect for these tracks and if you dig Metal at all you should own this. Just because it didnt sell as well doesnt mean anything. This is the BEST 'thrax.Free Music Review: Anthrax's *real* best album
Hit: 4 Stars
If it hadn't been for poor marketing, this probably would have been one of the biggest hits of 98. After Stomp 442, which suffered from many songs that pretty much sounded alike, Anthrax increased their range for Volume 8 and came up with a collection of songs that are heavy, funny, and dynamic.
The only thing that stops it from being a 5-star winner is the fact that it's not all that groundbreaking. Still, it's far better than anything from the Belladonna years.
Free Music Review: Anthrax continue to stretch out
Hit: 4 Stars
Another reviewer noted that Dimebag Darrel played on this recording, and he did indeed assist on an album that saw a few different things going.
Anthrax still delivered heavyweight riffs, powerful vocals from Jon Bush and some incisive, biting tracks. "Born Again Idiot," that title pretty much says it all, and other killers were "Catharsis" and "Hog Tied."
There were a number of tracks were you heard some very different sounds from the band, with members taking up some different instruments and trying out some new stuff. Hardly filler.
The comedic side of the guys is still there. "Cupajoe" is hilarious (and is on my answering machine--keeps the telemarketers away!).
Doesn't matter what purists think--this album rocked, and I enjoyed it highly.
Free Music Review: Everybody fails to mention that Dimebag Darrel contributes on this album.
Hit: 4 Stars
This was the first Anthrax album I bought, I thought it was awesome. Not too much to say, other than it rocks most of the time. Oh yeah, Dimebag throws in licks on a couple of songs which is reason enough to buy it.
