Album Review

The first thing that hits you about Alive 2 is how terrific it sounds. Opening with "Among the Living," Charlie Benante's drums and the sludgy, churning guitars of Scott Ian and Dan Spitz peel out of the speakers at 4,000 decibels. It's like they're trying to make up for a decade lost. And maybe they are. Alive 2 chronicles a June 3, 2005 show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, and features Anthrax's classic lineup reunited for its 20th anniversary. Along with Spitz, Ian, and Benante, that includes Frank Bello on bass and vocalist Joey Belladonna. After "Among the Living" the quintet rumbles through incredibly tight versions of "Caught in a Mosh" and the double-bass-heavy "A.I.R." Anthrax goes all the way back to 1984's Fistful of Metal — pre-Belladonna — for "Deathrider," and the dude-heavy crowd greets Persistence of Time's "In My World" with chants of "Joey! Joey! Joey!" The set closes with "Be All End All" and the Judge Dredd tribute "I Am the Law." Fans will note that despite being a solid live album from start to finish — it a better recording than 2004's Music of Mass Destruction, and the Belladonna-era lineup seems to be getting a thrill out of playing again — Alive 2 only includes half of a commemorative Dredd drawing. The other half's in the Alive 2 DVD, which expands the song lineup to 13 songs and includes behind-the-scenes footage.

Customer Reviews

Oner looked

everyone seems to make the I'm The man & or Bring The Noise connection when it comes to Anthrax. They are one of the heaviest bands to grace this earth. Cookie Monster Vocals- No but they stayed true to themselves & maintained a heavy edge for almost 25 years. That is mor than Metallica can say for themselves. Metallica may have the $$$$$$ & commercial success but Anthrax has integrity & stayed tru to form. Panic may be the fastest double bass song ever. That song was done gefor technology allowed thes new metal bands to do more bpm. Give em a listen, you won't be disappointed

Among The Living,

A great testament to what anthrax is and what they do best, with the blasting double bass in the beginning of efilnikufesin to the heavy guitars churning in among the living, this is also a great example of a band that can actually play their own music live.

One of the better live albums I've heard!

This is about as "metal" as Anthrax gets. The best part of it all was the drums and the distortion that Scott was using, it's just unbelievible! The songs to keep a real ear to are Among the Living, Caught in a Mosh, A.I.R., Medusa, In My World, Indians, Time & I Am the Law; what the hell am I talking about, listen to the whole album and you'll see what I meen. But if you don't, then you probably don't really know what true live metal in general is. So I highly "highly" recomend this album because: 1. it doesn't seem like anthrax until the vocals start 2. the instrumental part is amazing 3. just listen to it!

Biography

Formed: June, 1981 in New York, NY

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Nearly as much as Metallica or Megadeth, Anthrax were responsible for the emergence of speed and thrash metal. Combining the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the prominent guitars and vocals of heavy metal, they helped create a new subgenre of heavy metal on their early albums. Original guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz were a formidable pair, spitting out lightning-fast riffs and solos that never seemed masturbatory. Unlike Metallica or Megadeth, they had the good sense to temper their often...
