Careful now..........2006-08-21

I don't like this stuff. In fact, I hate it when I have to tell my neighbors to turn their music down constantly when they blast it through their stereos, as I can't concentrate when this is blasting. It is so grating to my ears, I would rather listen to a fire alarm.

In fact, this is the album that David Merrell used when he did his study on mice and music. For the hard rock, he used this album. The mice had difficulty with it--not only did the mice exposed to this music have more difficulty going through the maze than the other mice, after the study was over the mice turned bitter toward each other and killed themselves!

If you like this album, or hard rock music in general, that's fine, but please be careful. This album may be hazardous to your health!

A shot of Petrol.......2006-08-19

Damn this album is good. I am biased because I dig the John Bush era of Anthrax so much - but still this album smokes. Why is this album so underrated? I think Elektra buried this album after it was released because Elektra was going in a new direction and Anthrax got thrown under the bus.

Anyway Dan Spitz gets booted and the band brings in part time guitarist Paul Crook and the band does not miss a beat.

Tons of hooks, heavy riffs, melodies and it all comes together. Totally missed by most people because it came out when Metal was not surging in popularity. Anyway this album still rocks - even if the reunited Anthrax sucks.

The bridge between heavy metal and hard rock.......2005-11-20

I have no doubt: After listening the entire Anthrax catalog, my conclusion was instantaneous: Stomp 442 is the best Anthrax effort. I guess why many people (religious metalheads) overlooks this album: it's not thrash (like Anthrax 80's model) but heavy hard rock (really hard)... ready to smash your head. This album was the best moment of Anthrax, the most original... there is no similar album on the genre (except "We have come for you all"). And John Bush... he is a true hard rock singer.

Still good but not great.......2005-09-12

While not being a bad album, there was some really good stuff on here but some is not rememberable. To me a great album is one that you remember even if it's been weeks to years of hearing it. Great production and still worth having in the collection.

Interesting..........2005-04-30

Anthrax certainly made an interesting step after the alarmingly brilliant "Sound of White Noise" release. This compact hardcore-meets-Anthrax mix certainly entertains but is lacking in much of the brilliance the predating album possessed. The production is about the same, (despite the bands protests to the opposite) the performances are also in line with the previous - the only weak link is the songwriting. Be it the label politics distracting them, or the unsure nature of a new line-up...the band dropped the ball in coming with a consistantly brilliant album in the same vibe of "Sound of White Noise".

Despite this drop in overall quality, the album still manages a few fun driving tunes that any fan of Bush-era Anthrax will want to own. The opening grind of "Random Acts of Senseless Violence" and the ultra-catchy "Nothing" stand out as great middle-of-the-road of modern metal tunes. "Riding Shotgun" and "Fueled" also have some classy Pantera-wannable riff-hooks as well. The rest goes from good to pointless, the band can claim they've stepped up lyrically but it matters little when the songs are only half-baked all around.

Anthrax burrow on with some great moments and some poor. Sadly, the band never recaptured the brilliance of "Sound of White Noise" and this record seems to function as the "lost child" of the Anthrax catalog.
