Album Review

Why the release of one Anthrax hits collection (1999's Return of the Killer A's) so close to another (2001's Madhouse: The Very Best of Anthrax), you ask? Well, the answer's simple — the latest one is not the doing of the band, but their former label, Island. The 12-track set covers just the band's highlights from 1985's Spreading the Disease up to 1991's Attack of the Killer B's. Granted, there are quite a few thrash metal classics here ("A.I.R.," "I Am the Law," "Indians," "Antisocial," "Got the Time"), as well as some of the first-ever rap-metal experiments ("I'm the Man," "Bring the Noise"), the latter almost single-handedly laying the groundwork for such future hitmaking '90s acts as Rage Against the Machine and Limp Bizkit. The earlier set, Return of the Killer A's, proves to be the better of the two since it covers more ground, but if you're looking for a budget-priced collection that covers Anthrax's peak years, Madhouse: The Very Best of Anthrax manages to do the trick.

ANTHRAX==UNDERRATED

i dont get why not a lot of people know that much about ANTHRAX--i mean, they rock SO hard its just insane--i mean come on, they were on of the big 4 in thrash for cryin out loud! anyway, although i dont much like rap and rap metal acts--limp bizkit--i would say that this is a good start if you want to get into ANTHRAX. for the record, i am a relativley new fan of ANTHRAX, but i can tell this ROCKS pretty hard. later

I agree with Dan Halen....

Anthrax is underrated. Anthrax is pretty awsome. By the way, Limp Bizkit is no where near as good as Rage Against The Machine. If U want to listen to Great Rap/Metal RATM is the way to go. RATM's lead singer, Zach De la Rocha, has a cool voice. Anyway, Anthrax is great.

Thrash Attack

This is a great album. If you never heard Anthrax before this is a great album to get you into them. Best Songs are Tracks 1-7 and Bring the Noise. I would also say Keep It in the Family but it is Live so it probably isnt that good and the studio version.

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...
