Anthrax - Persistance of Time

I don't know why I never got into Anthrax at the time I started listening to Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. Maybe it was Joey Belladonna's vocals, or perhaps I just had no exposure to them. I didn't really go out of my way looking for music while in high school, and just heard what was either on the radio or what my friends had recently purchased. So somehow this is the first time I've actually sat down and listened to this album. My first experience with Anthrax was their latest album We've Come For You All, which is absolutely fantastic. I imagine I'm in the minority that likes John Bush better than Joey Belladonna.


I'm not sure I like the production on this album. The drums and vocals are fine, but the guitar sound is weak, which is a damn shame, considering there is monster riffing aplenty all throughout the album.

I can't really compare this album to the rest of their catalog, simply because I haven't heard anything except We've Come For You All. I'll try and get around to listening to the rest of their stuff, because I'm sure I will like most of it. Various old school Anthrax songs have been coming up on my Pandora radio station and has been urging me to get more. ...I think I have Stomp 442 around here.
