Stomp 442 11. Volume 8: the thread is real. Except the last two every anthrax album is great. John Bush is a great singer but I do think joey belladonna's voice fits anthrax better. My favourite anthrax member is definitely Frank Bello
They're not so straightforward thrash, and many consider Persistence Of Time to be *the first* Anthrax thrash release. Anthrax especially bullied by *brutal fans* of thrash (yknow those guys that replace Anthrax with Exodus in Big 4) because of their music direction from 1994 to 1999.
Not my favorite band ever but theyve had some great albums, here's my ranking. 11. Stomp 442 10. The Threat is Real Everything below here is at least good 9. Fistful of Metal 8. We've Come For You All 7. For All Kings 6. The Sound of White Noise 5. Worship Music 4. Persistence of Time 3. Spreading the Disease 2. State of Euphoria 1. Among the Living
This is pretty much my ranking as well except for two things. 1. Switch For All Kings with White Noise 2. Switch Euphoria with Disease. That's pretty much it though, the rest I agree with you.
The Ranking is Real! 11: The Threat is Real 10: Stomp 442 9: Persistence of Time (I cannot stand Got the Time) 8: We've come for you all 7: For all Kings 6: Sound of White Noise 5: Worship Music 4: State of Euphoria 3: Fistful of Metal 2: Spreading the Disease 1: Among the Living
Good list, I would switch Fistful with Among, and the rest can go in the trash.. Anthrax's been silly and Stupid since Spreading but Among has some good thrash but it was all downhill from there.. And, John Bush only sounds good in Armored Saint, remember the cd where he sung all of Joeys songs and Scott Ian said that's the way the songs should sound, which was painfully bad.. Then he shit all over it in a magazine to get Joey back.. Scott and Anthrax are in the big bore of thrash..The Germans did it way better then and are still doing it today..
11. Volume 8 10. Stomp 442 9. We've come for you all 8. Fistful of metal 7. State of euphoria 6. For all kings 5. Worship music 4. Sound of white noise 3. Spreading the disease 2. Among the living 1. Persistence of time
I'm an Anthrax fan, and I do have to say that this list was a bit of a shocker, but not as controversial as I thought it was going to be. Thank you for FINALLY doing Anthrax Questy. Now the Big 4 is complete. Here's my list for Anthrax: #11: Volume 8: The Threat is Real (1998) #10: Stomp 442 (1995) #9: Fistful of Metal (1984) #8: We've Come for You All (2003) #7: Worship Music (2011) #6: For All Kings (2016) #5: Sound of White Noise (1993) #4: Persistence of Time (1990) #3: State of Euphoria (1988) #2: Among the Living (1987) #1: Spreading the Disease (1985) As you can see, I'm a pretty big fan of the Joey Belladonna era of Anthrax. He's one of my all time favorite metal vocalists and frontmen. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen of Anthrax playing live, and just watching how much fun the band has on stage and how they get the crowd energized with them. I've never seen a band do it better than Anthrax. I want to see this band live so badly, you don't even know.
My #1 - SPREADING THE DISEASE fuckin awesome! classic.🤘 My #2 - AMONG THE LIVING Incredible classic album. My #3 - SOUND OF WHITE NOISE Awesome! First album with John Bush on vocals. My #4 - WORSHIP MUSIC Incredible come back album with Joey B. Back on vocals. My #5 - We've come for you all Awesome! heavy fuckin album and Great vocals by Bush. My #6 - FISTFUL OF METAL Great raw speed Metal classic. That's my Top 6 Albums From The great ANTHRAX. In my opinion all the rest of their albums are just ok albums.🤘
My favourite has always been spreading the disease, I like the way it blends classic rock with thrash, I don't think any thrash album really blends those 2 styles as well as Spreading the disease, also lone justice has to be the most underrated Anthrax song ever and probably Frank's best bass riff he's ever wrote
My least favorite has always been Fistful of Metal. Love the songs but never liked Neil Turbin lol. Also, I love the John Bush era. Stomp 442 & Volume 8 gets no love lol
For All Kings and Worship Music are easily my favourites, Anthrax are better now than they've ever been. The ranking was light on controversy from my point of view so don't fret, but I would stick Volume 8 over WCFYA
I know this channel isn't about pleasing everyone, but still, that persistence of time ranking kinda hurt my feelings because it's my favorite Anthrax album. Still, I enjoy watching this channel, and I completely respect your opinion.
@@filthy6662 Yes it is. But real Anthrax fans know. Persistence Of Time is a classic, nowhere near the worst. Objectively I don’t know anyone else in the world who would rank it last or even close to last. Instant loss of credibility right there. Yes the albums up until Persistence are clearly the best, all classics. Sound Of White Noise is good too but the real Anthrax is with Joey. Apart from the 2 singles Stomp 442 is a horrible album. It filled cut out bins everywhere at the time and with good reason
@@JCStorm76 I think S442 isnt that bad, but its not my cup of coffee. I think the first four with Belladonna are the best (State > Persistence > Spreading = Among) and the last two albums are very good too (especially For All Kings) SoWN is fine, but nothing special for me. From Bush era I kinda like We’ve All Coming, but Beladonna is so much better vocalist, he is Anthrax for me. And Persistance... is musical masterpiece, much better than Sound. And Euphoria is my favourite bcs of the catchyness. btw... sorry for my english, I am from middle Europa
Fistful of Metal when it came out it turned me on to Metallica, Slayer, and Mercyful Fate in the early 80's.. It was my gateway but after Spreading the Disease I hated Anthrax and still do..Not even a top 10 thrash band except for the first 2 albums, everything after that was silly and stupid.
1 Sound of White Noise 2 Among the Living 3 For All Kings 4 Spreading the Disease 5 Worship Music 6 Persistence of Time 7 Fistful of Metal 8 Volume 8: The Threat is Real 9 We've Come for You All 10 State of Euphoria 11 Stomp 442
*Unsubs for Persistence of Time and State of Euphoria being last* Jk. Those are some of my favorites. State of Euphoria was actually my introduction to Anthrax. Among The Living is probably at the top for me. I definitely can see the Testament comparisons with For All Kings. I think of all the big 4, Anthrax probably has the best modern albums. Interesting ranking man. A few surprises here for sure.
Thanks for showing Volume 8 and WCFYA some love, highly under-rated albums. I do like Persistence, it's heavy and shifting direction from the State Of Euphoria period, which was just not that good or memorable. Aside from that I would largely agree. Great channel, really enjoying the content!!
I think Kings is better than Worship. But both are better than I expected. I liked the first Joey era, but I love Bush's vocals and I didn't think Joey would sound as good with the more modern sound. But they did. I like several songs on WCFYA, but I also think it's got some filler. I'd never rank this near SOWN. I totally agree with the point that some people can't deal with the non-thrash. Hate to say it, but the two new records with Joey hardly are thrash either.
11) the threat is real 10) stomp 442 9) we've come for you all 8 ) state of euphoria 7) fits full of metal 6) sound of white noise 5) persistent of time 4) for all kings 3) spreading the disease 2) worship music 1) among the living I don't hate any anthrax albums. Even my bottom albums I really enjoy :3
Wow, SOWN and Persistence are in my top 3. That said I agree Euphoria is weak. I like Stomp more than you, but it's the weakest Bush record. I love Vol8. It's not thrash, but it's cool.
Its interesting that the first album you listened to was a John Bush era one. I think where fans of music enter a timeline in the middle of a bands career it's really going to influence your whole out look on what somebody likes or dislikes about them. The first album I heard was state of euphoria and to put in to perspective, this was around 89/90 and I transitioned to thrash from guns n roses, motley crue, skid row etc etc. I think its important as if somebody enters the arena late, they arn't gonna really feel the tug of nostalgia and the rich diversity of music and how it was marketed and shared and how difficult it was to get stuff. I like all the albums equally but would probably say that Stomp 442 is too rocky. I really like persistance of time but more for the maturity of the music and sound. We've come for you all has some really enjoyable drum work and I really like the first half of the album but second half is a bit too happy/rocky. I never get why Caught in a mosh was so popular..thats my ode to controversy. Good video, thanks.
Get what your saying... 'you' entered Anthrax, mid-period"after the event"!🤣 =StateOfEuphoria was a massive disappointment after AmongTheLiving & SpreadingTheDisease. PersistenceOfTime was a return to form. I liked SoundOfWhiteNoise, just for how different it was, then I fell off... Seen 'em live twice before lockdown & they absolutely killed it in Birmingham, England🇬🇧 as part of Obituary-Anthrax-LambOfGod-SLAYER!! =still need to check out their later albums...
Wow, this list is criminal to Anthrax fans! Haha, mine would be: 11. Volume 8 10. Stomp 442 9. For all kings 8. We've come for you all 7. Fistful of metal 6. Worship music 5. Sound of white noise 4. State of euphoria 3. Persistence of time 2. Among the living 1. Spreading the disease
Oh dear questy that was a very controvertial one! And I love it! For some "true thrashers" must hurt, but I also love John Bush voice, but not the production of some of his albums. I just to love the sound of White noise, but hasn't aged well, the guitar sound is in the back but has great songs and the last two albums are awesome, but a little too long for me. So...for goes like this: 11. Volume 8 10. State of euphoria 9. Fistfull of metal 8. Greater of two evils 7. Persistence of time 6. Sound of White noise 5. For all kings 4. Worship music 3. We've come for you all 2. Spreading the dissease 1. Among the living
Let's be honest. Anthrax barely to be considered a thrash band. It is too unique and has many sides. It has so many to look for. I mean there is no album that sounds the same, and there are really some interesting stuff. I prefer thinking Anthrax were doing something they enjoy and something way off the genres. Just all the albums in the middle of this list showing you that (from the Sound to Worship). And some of their stuff is actually catchy to listen which is not so common in Metal. I Mostly agree with Questy's opinion on ranking.
1. Spreading the Disease (10/10) 2. Sound of White Noise (9.5/10) 3. Persistence of Time (9/10) 4. Worship Music (8.5/10) 5. Among the Living (8/10) 6. For All Kings (8/10) 7. We've Come for You All (7.5/10) 8. Fistful of Metal (7/10) 9. State of Euphoria (6/10) 10. Stomp 442 (5/10) 11. Volume 8: The Threat is Real (4/10)
Very interesting list dude, never seen people put persistence of time and state of euphoria this low, i've only heard people that hold them in quite high regard. Great to see that you didn't pile up all the thrashfest at the top and showed respect for the groovy stuff.
I don't know... state of euphoria isn't held in that high regard by most people, its often seen as a big step down on the previous albums ( maybe not held as the worst of there entire catalogue though) persistence of time hardly ever gets put down though that is held as a top tier album under the obvious top 2
@@nemesis8626 yeah i was a bit wrong with state of euphoria, i have only heard like two songs from it anyway. It's mostly found in the middle of a ranking i think
For me the top 4 Anthrax albums are all set in stone: "Spreading the Disease" "Among the Living" "Persistence of Time" and "Sound of White Noise" are all amazing albums. After those 4 I can go either way on some of them, "Worship Music" is my favorite of the later material. I really didn't care for "State of Euphoria" for a long time, but as time goes on I am liking it more and more. "Fistful of Metal" has quite a bit of charm, it's certainly a good album but not up to par with the stuff they released after it. "The Threat is Real" and "We've come for you all" is always going to be my least favorites, "We've come for you all" was such a massive disappointment for me.
Here would be my ranking for Anthrax and I think both the first and final albums with John Bush are underrated: 11. Volume 8: The Threat Is Real 10. Stomp 442 9. We’ve Come for You All 8. Sound of White Noise 7. Fistful of Metal 6. State of Euphoria 5. Worship Music 4. For All Kings 3. Spreading the Disease 2. Among the Living 1. Persistence of Time
Never been a big Anthrax fan. Spreading the Disease is really the only album I live by them, quickly followed by Among the Living. Those are the only two albums I really listen to. Then there'a a big gap between that and For all Kings which is no. 3 for me, quickly followed by Worship Music, and Fistful of Metal has its moments. But the rest I really don't like. John Bush era is my least favorite. Nothing against Bush, I just don't like their sound during that era. And since you compared it to Pantera... I don't like Pantera, so go figure :) And yes, I find State of Euphoria unbelieavably boring as well.
How is any band in the top 4 underrated? It’s pretty universal that Anthrax is #4 in that group, so which of the other 3 are they better than? If anything, they are overrated. Better than testament or Exodus? No.
Oh boy can’t wait for some hot takes. 11 State of Euphoria 10 Persistence of Time 9 Among the Living 8 Stomp 442 7 Volume 8: the Threat is Real 6 Worship Music 5 Spreading the Disease 4 We’ve come for you all 3 For all Kings 2 Fistful of Metal 1 Sound of White Noise
