Great video! Anthrax is sooo underrated among the Big 4. You even have kids these days trying to say Anthrax doesn't deserve to be in the Big 4! I would have placed Fistful of Metal at #3, personally, but I agree with your #1 and #2 placings. Cheers!
'State of Euphoria' is a totally underrated album, and I agree that 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' is one of the best songs on the album (along with 'Be All, End All' and 'Now It's Dark'). Also, 'For All Kings' is such a brilliant powerhouse album, with 'All of Them Theives' being the best track for me. I'll have to listen to 'Sound of White Noise' again, based on your recommendation! 'Black Lodge' has always been my favorite track on that...brilliant! Great video!
Enjoyed that James, can't argue with your #1 either! Refreshing to see someone rate a JB album so high, most people have never given them the time of day and rank them low by default, but they did put out some great songs in that period.
Good ranking. I also agree STD is the best. No sign of the new album yet!....Loved 'For All Kings', great songs and top production. Joey's the best vocalist in thrash in my opinion.
Solid ranking Mr. B. Interesting to see white noise up there, I'm not too familiar with that one. Agreed with the strength of their latest releases, for me they're just as strong as they were in the mid 80s. 🤘🤘
Sound of White Noise is in my favourite albums of all time list. No cheese. Catchy vocal lines. Totally sing along anthems. Original riffs. No filler. It's perfect.
@@petrosdiamantis2596Meu ranking de álbuns de estúdio: 1- Spreading the Disease (obra prima) 2- Among the Living (outra obra prima... se não for o primeiro lugar no ranking da maioria pelo menos tem a obrigação de ficar em segundo, kkk) 3- Persistence of Time (num ranking decente tem que estar no top 3) 4- Worship Music (um clássico atemporal) 5- For All Kings (mantém a terceira fase da banda em alta) 6- Fistful of Metal (muitos clássicos da banda esta aqui) 7- State of Euphoria (se tivesse mantido o alto nível do lado A esse estaria entre os melhores) 8- We've Come For You All (único que curti da fase Bush) 9- Stomp 442 (não é o pior como mtos falam) 10- Sound of White Noise (sou o único que odeia esse) 11- Volume 8: The Threat is Real (uma bagunça sonora)
Totally agree with your ranking Mr boulder, Anthrax deserve their place in the big 4, exodus overkill and testament haven't made songs as good as what's on those top 2 anthrax albums.
I can’t rank all as I’ve only listened to Fistful of metal-Persistence of time 5: Fistful of metal 4: State of euphoria 3: Spreading the disease 2: Persistence of Time 1: Among the living
*TURN IT UP! BRING THE NOISE!* 😎 Great ranking, spreading the disease is a triumph of a album. So Mr Boulder do you think Anthrax should/deserves to be in the big 4? Would love to hear your honest opinion on this, some people definitely don't like Anthrax to be in the big 4. In my opinion they deserve the spot!
Thanks for watching. Yes I definitely think they deserve their spot in the big 4, they have delivered some absolutely classic Thrash albums over the years so they are definitely deserving of their place
I named my son Ian in part after Scott Ian and Ian Anderson , I know you like the Jackson RR White V here’s a tid bit you may or may not be aware of , Jackson made 60 replicas of the RR “Concorde” identical specs even with the black tape on the back of the guitar body as Sharon Osbourne didn’t want the white to show when Randy was coming on stage live and he would flip the guitar backwards and hold his arm up to cover the back of the neck and then the band would start the show with Over the Mountain after the intro this was during the Diary of a Madman Tour, Scott Ian purchased the first of the 60 guitars for $12,619,56 which is RR date of birth 12/6/1956 , cheers from USA Mr Boulder !
Great ranking video James. I would place WCFYA further up and ATL would be my favourite. John Bush is a great singer but Joey belongs in Anthrax, what a voice. Saw them live a few years ago with Slayer and they were amazing. Looking forward to the next album
Great ranking James. I haven't listened to a lot of Anthrax still, but I had a feeling Among the living and spreading the disease would be at the top, as a lot of people say they're the best 2. For all kings I have listened to and I think it's great. They're due another one for sure, been 5 years now. Maybe next year 😊😀🤘🤘
Great video. Completely agree with pretty much your entire ranking. I always felt Spreading the Disease was better than Among The Living but I always see Among The Living getting better scores and ranked higher.
That's cool. I like Motley Crue. I'm not a huge glam metal fan because I find a lot of it too poppy but I like the heavier stuff and Motley Crue has some heavy songs, especially on their first few albums.
Great video and ranking of one the best and most underrated Metal bands of all time here my ranking 11. Volume 8 10. Stomp 442 9. Fistful of Metal 8. Persistence of Time 7. Sound of White Noise 6. For all Kings 5. We've Come for you All 4. State of Euphoria 3. Worship Music 2. Spreading the Disease 1. Among the Living
The new reissue of Sound of White Noise sounds great!! It’s a German Nuclear Blast release so you should be able to find it pretty easy. I’m in the States so postage was expensive lol way better than the white vinyl reissue from 2 yrs ago. The only thing better about the US reissue was the bonus tracks. On the new version we just get a bonus version if Black Lodge which I’ve had for years. Also the new German Nuclear Blast reissue of Stomp sounds amazing as well. They were both just released a week ago. Both sound 100X better than the US reissues from 2 yrs ago lol
I didn't bother with those reissues a couple of years back as I had nothing but bad things about them. The brand new Nuclear Blast reissue's arrived this week, and I'll be showing them in my next collection update video. Cheers for watching fella 👍
Persistence of Time is great, listens to it constantly back in 1992. Sound of White Noise is fantastic and came at a difficult time for the band. Cheers for watching and commenting 👌
I've been really enjoying the series of videos Anthrax released here on YT for the band's anniversary. Killer picks! I'm surprised/not surprised at your #1 LOL ~Corey
Bought 'We've Come For You All' on vinyl today, worth every penny! Have the same thoughts as you mr boulder, forgot how good it was. Big improvement over vol. 8 🤘
Nice ranking video again. Fistfulll of metal is my fave one, its a little low for you but we all have a different taste, right? Nice to hear your opiniones on there albums.
My ranking: 11) Vol. 8 The Threat Is Real 10) Sound Of White Noise 9) Stomp 442 8) We've Come For You All 7) State Of Euphoria 6) For All Kings 5) Fitsful Of Metal 4) Worship Music 3) Persistence Of Time 2) Spreading The Disease 1) Among The Living
1. Spreading the Disease 2. Fistful of Metal 3. Among the Living 4. Persistence of Time 5. State of Euphoria 6. For All Kings 7. Worship Music 8. Sound of White Noise 9. We’ve Come for You All 10. Stomp 442 11. Volume 8: The Threat Is Real 12. Attack of the Killer B's
Good ranking video! My journey with Anthrax started with Attack of the Killer B's. Then i didnt get anything from them till We've come for you All came out. That album really got me into them. I had to back track from there. We've come for you All would be in my top three if i ranked their albums.
Nice video, this is exactly how I would rank their albums too! This year will be the first time that I will see Anthrax live \m/ Got tickets for their show in The Netherlands. :)
Hi, all the belladonna albums up to persistence are great. Sound of white noise was great. After that the popularity disappeared and I never got back into them. Have not heard a fistful of metal.
I like State of Euphoria. It just seems like it hasn't aged well. I liked the more light hearted, less serious approach to it. I think the backlash affected them however because they came back with a darker toned album with Persistence. Worship Music is good but nothing like their 80's classics. I never really listened to Stomp 442, and the next two after that, except for the singles, but I hear those albums are really bad. It seems of the big 4, the lowest point of any of the bands was Anthrax in the mid to late 90's. They were definitely struggling. I like your enthusiasm and almost every album is "briliant". LOL. Cheers!
State of Euphoria is an album that gets overlooked but I think it's a solid album. I actually really enjoy all the John Bush era albums now, I gave them more time and reaped the rewards. Cheers
Hi, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I have been back to the album since making this video and I enjoy it more now than I did at the time. Cheers
I think we agree on a few of these but just not Fistful lol. I can’t abide that record at all. They need to get something out soon, For All Kings was the first thing I bought when I decided to start collecting music again.
First time I heard Stomp 442 I hated it. Listened once or twice and I just put it away and I never bought another Anthrax album until WCFYA. WCFYA is awesome and re-ignited my interest Anthrax. Then I went back to Stomp and Threat is Real and now like them a lot more. I have been listening to Anthrax since 88 and never really listened to Fist Full of Metal until recently because I only listened to Spreading through The Sound of White Noise. FFOM is good but in a dated old school way. WCFYA is the best one with Bush IMO. I prefer Bush overall, Bush live is awesome he sounds as good as the records. But overall, Joey is the singer for Anthrax. Persistence of Time is my favorite and best one IMO. Anthrax have hit out of the park with the last two releases.
I prefer Joey over Bush , but I still love John Bush's voice. Sound of White Noise is my favourite Bush era album. Their debut is ok but it lacks their own style. Thanks for watching and commenting
On point with spreading the disease and among the living but number three should have been persistence of time 4 should have been state of euphoria and five sound of white noise. From then on you were spot on.
Persistence of Time is my #1. Dark and riffy as hell, no filler. Relentless. I guess Among the Living would be #2. I don't get why most people bag on Volume 8. That album has quite a few serious bangers. And, I think overall, John Bush has a better voice than Joey Belladona. I'm glad they got that rap shit out of their system. That was horrible and tainted their discography, which is mostly pretty damn good.
Fistful of metal for me , the rest don't are o.k . Madhouse and Indians are killer songs IMO. John Bush is a great vocalist but is wasted on the Anthrax albums , Armoured Saint's March of the saint and Delirious nomad are his best IMO of course. Great video James .
Stomp 442 & Volume 8 gets no love. Lol I think I’m the only person that loves those two albums lol Fistful has always been my least favorite. Never liked Neil Turbin’s vocals. I do like those songs with Joey and John singing them.
Anthrax after 1990 was just mediocre. Among the Living Spreading The Disease Fistful of Metal Persistence of Time State of Euphoria Bush era was 💩 and they were playing backyard cookouts.
@@mrboulder9714 I just wasn't into their non-thrash 90s era. I constantly saw them in NYC in the 80s and when they shifted into Sound of White Noise... I just couldn't assimilate to it. I give credit to Scott for maintaining his ship.
@@axxessmundi You're lucky to have seen them consistently throughout the 80's. I've seen them 3 times in the last few years and they've still got it. Thanks for watching and getting in touch 🙂👍
Definitely not my favourite either from the big 4 but definitely putting out the strongest new material from the big 4 no doubt about it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Threat is easily their worst for me. I listened to Stomp again recently, and where as it's no classic I definitely get more from it than Threat. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
