Whats wrong with Anthrax anyway?

[Pagan Saviour]

How Dan Lilker hasn't died is a mystery

[Pagan Saviour]

Another new track. Significantly worse than the first one.

Very corny.

[Faustus]

I thought it was dead on.

[Pagan Saviour]

Very "Euro Metal". Camp Chorus. Couldn't listen to it again, though I'll say some tasty lead work from their current hired hand.

Another one that John Bush would have been a better vocalist for.

But hooray for Rick Baker turning up in the video!

[NINE-T]

Excellent tune, their output over the last few albums has been class, drums as usual top notch, roll on new album.

[The Heretic]

I lost interest when the first verse kicked in

[Bürggermeister]

It's decent enough. Like the rest of the Joey Phase II stuff it sounds like it'd work better in an album than a standalone track. Amazed they got Nick Menza in for the video. Really, really amazed.

It sounds like the shite Machine Head are curling out these days.

100% - John Bush would have absolutely rocked this, he'd have taken this bland and listless tune and made it much more engaging - Joey is yesterday's man. Honestly, dunno how there's still interest in this band. I get it, we all grew up on it, the 80s stuff was class, but c'mon.

If this is the cream of the crop as far as the new album goes, you can count me out. More bland, pedestrian by the numbers music from a drummer who'd rather be in a different band, playing different music. (I dread to think what new Pantera music might sound like with a Benante/Wydle writing team - probably some of the dumbest music you'll ever hear)

Seems like in Metal as long as you've churned out 3 classic albums, thats it - you've earned your stripes and and people will put up with anything you just phoned in after.


What's the story with Benante then, too injured to do the Anthrax tour, but was ok for the last run of Pantera dates with Metallica? 

[Pagan Saviour]

I'd say his missus wanted him home for a bit, so not allowed play with Anthrax, just "recovered" in time for the big pay cheque.

[Trev]

Quite liked it myself, but Bush would have made it so much better. Nice to see an actual video too, instead of some lyric video or AI shite

[Floss]

i like that, not a predictable song. But christ ya Bush would sound amazing wailing over that

Ah! Yeah!

That song is absolutely fucking dogshit.
