July 15, 2008 Anthrax’s
debut album is sort of a mixed affair. While the power is there, the
consistency definitely is not. Songs such as “Deathrider” and
“Metal Thrashing Mad” are still played by the band to this day,
and rightfully so. But not all the tracks have stood the test of time. Songs
such as “Soldiers of Metal”, while a nostalgic look back into the
early 80’s thrash scene, offer little more than a short lived smile
when listened to in the late 2000’s. Not a bad debut, but not a classic
like their fellow thrashers Metallica or Slayer produced. |
