This is the essential Anthrax comp
, covering all the best stuff of the "Joey Belladonna Years", including most of State of Euphoria, remastered and at a more suitable volume. Covering two discs, it's nice to have the cover of Joe Jackson's "Got the Time", as well as the Judge Dredd inspired "I Am the Law". Not the Stallone movie, the 2000 A.D. comic. Rap-Rock trailblazer "I'm the Man" is here, as is "Bring tha Noize" with Public Enemy, which was a staple in Jason's car stereo when we were first hanging out. The last track is their version of "Antisocial" in French, as a tribute to the original song by French rockers Trust.I, personally, would be remiss to let any mention of Anthrax go without bringing attention to Charlie Benante, the rapid-fire drummer for the band. Charlie is a well documented toy and comic's aficionado, and his influence on the song-writing is unmistakable. Maybe that's why so many singers have come and gone.
No, singers love their lyrics to be written by the drummer.
