I love Spreading the Disease through to Persistance of Time. This to me is their classic years.
I saw them live during this time and to me they are one of the best bands to watch live. I even saw them supporting Iron Maiden on their Prayer for the dying tour (Anthrax had recently released 'Persistance of time'). Considerring Iron Maiden were and still are one of the best groups live, Anthrax were not shown up. Both bands are energetic and make use of the whole stage running and jumping around.

My favourite albums is 'State of Euphoria' which to me was their darkest and most mature album. The lyrics are realistic and streetwise and the riffs are great too.
Joey Belladonna has a great voice that can compete alongside some of the big Heavy Metal / Hard Rock singers with powerful clear voices.

A great band for the mature thrash fans!!

Why the F**K they went down the road with all this hip hop rap rubbish I'll never know. They were a good respectable band until then.

I think Anthrax is overrated.

I think they lost the plot because of the Public Enemy rap thing but back in the day they were the dons.

Have you ever seen them live? Fantastic live.

Anthrax as the classic line up with Joey Belladonna is what I see Anthrax as. John Bush may have been great with Armoured Saint but his voice doesn't meet up to Belladonna's.

Fistful of metal was a good classic album but for me Anthrax is definetely Spreading the disease through to Persistance of time. After this they lost the plot. Unlike Metallica they never actually sold out just lost their classic edge as a main stream metal band after doing that silly rap fusion thing.

To me their best albums, Among the living, State of euphoria and Persistance of time. After that i pretty much lost interest in anything else they did.

I agree but Spreading the disease which was the one before Among the living was also good in line with the other three. Fistful of metal which was their first and the one before spreading the disease was not bad but everything since is a wash.

N.F.V & P.O.V. are good but lets not mention the collaboration with Public Enemy.
This is what made Anthrax fall from metal heroe status. the E.P. "Attack of the killer 'b's" that accompanied it was a joke. It Anthrax hadn't decided to venture out in silly directions collaborating with Hip Hop / rap and remained a mainstream metal group then perhaps Joey Belladonna would have stayed and they would have carried on making albums like the above mentioned.
