Another good set from Anthrax.......2005-11-09

I think there was a period in the 90's where Anthrax ended up in a bit of a rut, as far as the critics may have seen it. The series of recordings with Jon Bush at the mike continued to be strong, with high-powered rhythms and great songs, but with the glut of other bands and a lot of pretenders, some of the stuff got lost.

"Stomp 442" had another slab of great heavy metal rock, with "Random Acts," "Fueled" and "Tester" among the stellar tracks.

You have with Anthrax a band that chooses to continue to pound away with heavy sound, but the songs stretch out from the ludicrous to the dead bloody serious.

There is really nothing wrong with this album. I still like it, and it fits in well with others such as "Sound of White Noise" and "Among the Living," as well as "We've Come For You All."

Far from weak.......2005-08-27

Not saying this is THE greatest I've ever heard from Anthrax, but there's nothing about this album that is weak. I'd say the weakest would have to be Vol. 8. That album was good too, but it had "flaws" written all over it. Probably had something to do with the departure of Dan Spitz earlier on, but that could be me. It's also partly due to the production just not happenin'.

I was lucky enough to pick this and Sound Of White Noise up at the FYE since these two seem to have been discontinued yet again after a while. Not sure why that happened, but if you like Anthrax, and you just so happen to come across these two jems, grab 'em.

darn good album!.......2003-09-25

From begining to end the album is fresh, fast, and has flow. The songs on the album have a unity which makes the track progression completely in sync. I didnt feel any of the songs were filler or forced in nature they all felt as though they belonged. My negatives about the album: the cover art is terrible which probably aided in the demise of the album sales, and some of the lyrics were mediocre. Aside from that the album is really good. How does it stack up against previous efforts? I think its one of their best however, I am not going to rank it with previous efforts because all of the bands albums seem to fit a different niche or tone. It gets 5 stars from me because I felt it was a complete album with a great payoff.

MY PERSONAL FAV.............2003-02-01

If We've Come For You All is half this good, It would blow me away. From beginning to end blistering riffs. "Tester" and "In a Zone" rule...

Underrated Classic.......2002-11-27

Anthrax is my favorite band, so my opinion may be biased, but this is an underrated classic, probably because it goes in a much more aggressive direction than SOWN does. "In a Zone" and Drop the Ball" are two of the heaviest songs they have ever done. They alone are worth the price. "Nothing" is a melodic song in the vein of "Only". "Bare" is a nice ballad, but not up there with "Black Lodge". This album expands upon the sound they created with "Persistance of Time" by mixing churning, crunching riffs with melody lines that are much darker than those found on State of Euphoria.
