Bring back the Mort Drucker shirt! It was my favorite of all, and was worn for my yearbook picture two different years...

[@williamperez6251]

It's a great album despite it being a rushed job.

[@flyinpolack6633]

i agree, I think it illustrates the chaos they (and I ) were feeling at the time

[@herbertwest9626]

But to be honest, there are two or three fillers on it due to the chaos and pressure around. It's not like ATL, which I can listen to from start to finish, but there's great songs on it, that's true. Now it's Dark, Antisocial, Be all end all, Make me laugh...

[@ccharette222]

Met one of my lifelong best friends in High School because he was wearing a State of Euphoria t-shirt, and I sang "Antisocial" as I walked behind him. We started talking, then tape trading, and at the end of our High School, we did I'm the Man with some buddies at the talent show. Still friends to this day (over twenty-five years later... ).

If you haven't already, you should read his autobiography. It's a great read and has a lot of cool insights into Anthrax and Scott himself. It's called "I'm the Man: The Story of That Guy from Anthrax".

[@3rdstone1]

I totally agree. I also recommend everyone to check out the "My Favourite Riff" YT series that Nikki Sixx did, the episode with Scott is awesome.

[@chebrujo]

Dude, there was a cable channel called VH1. It was all about Scott Ian talking about other bands.

[@ApostateofHELL]

Samez man.

[@eaglebauer944]

It came out just a couple of weeks after "...And Justice for All" but I already had spend most of the money from my summer job on albums like "South of Heaven", "So Far, So Good, So What", "No Place for Disgrace" and "The New Order", so I only had the money to buy one more album. I chose "State of Euphoria". Never regretted, still one of my all time favourites.

[@n8barnhart]

I was the same way. Paper route and mowing yards to buy metal cassette tapes. Those were the days.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Yo, you sound pretty damn cool!

[@bryanbeard843]

Was a busy year for thrash albums. I remember how geeked I was to buy South of Heaven & Lights, Camera.... Revolution when I finally graduated bootcamp that fall.

[@saltpeter7429]

I raked leaves, dug ditches, bailed hay, picked up dog shit, mowed lawns. Even when you are 8 years old you can get good tapes, lol( cassettes). Christmas and birthdays? 10 or 20 bucks and I'll pick out my own tapes, thank you. Ah. The good days gone bye.

[@mihautalaska5355]

I love this album from start to finish. There's no weak song for me, all of them are killers. Riffs like "Out of sight, out of mind", "Finale" or "Be all, end all" are among the best riffs in Anthrax catalogue in my opinion. But it's good to learn the background story of this album. Another great episode, txh Anthrax!

[@dariuszbavaria8002]

THANK YOU ANTRAX!!!! BEST album ANTRAX ! I grew up Grusse aus Bayern!👍🤗👺

[@ralphdarc3094]

As a French 50 year old , i confirm how important Antisocial from Trust was in my country . It was number one in our charts for months and everyone knew the words off by heart . I already was a huge Thrash/Punk fan and for Anthrax to cover that song was a huge accolade and somewhat flattering to see France being recognised for something other than cheese ,wine or promiscuous ladies (the ol boring stereotypes). The original version is still a million times better though. As for now ? well ........GOJIRA!!

[@HerbertWestward]

State of Euphoria got me into Anthrax, rushed or NOT it's a great album!

[@Surfacenoise1]

In the 7th grade and being in the closet, this and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son got me through it. I knew you didn’t mean the “F” word that way in Finale. You showed me that it was okay to be different. Thank you.

[@500erider]

I'm glad Scott finally said that it is many fans' favorite album, because State Of Euphoria is my favorite Anthrax album, by a MILE. To me, it is THE quintessential Anthrax record, and it defined them as an 80's thrash band. This record towered over most of those by their peers. Only Metallica's And Justice For All came anywhere close to the amount of play time in my Sony Walkman, as this one did. I think it's great because it wasn't overthought, and sterilized to death. Sometimes, pressure situations, however uncomfortable, produces great results. Everything works out the way that it should be, at the end of the day, and the same must be true, for this magical record. In many ways, it is their purest thrash album, has a heavy but polished sound that I absolutely adore, and everyone's playing on it was stellar. TOP NOTCH. Danny never played or sounded better. Charlie's drums were amazing, Frank and Scott were off the chart, and Joey's singing was simply legendary. How could Scott think that Make Me Laugh, Schism, Out Of Sight Out Of Mind, etc., etc., etc., were bad tracks ?????? SOE is Anthrax' technical tour de force. Scott's (Charlie's ?) rhythms alone are genius !!!!!!!!!!! THIS ALBUM IS A M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E. NOT A BUM TRACK ON IT, ANYWHERE. PRY IT OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS, AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and BTW, the cover art was and is awesome. As a matter of fact, I never got one of the T-shirts with the SOE album cover art on it, but I sure would love one, now. This record was everything to me, as a teenaged kid. I hope the guys see this comment. If so, thanks for this record, guys !!!!!!!!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

No internet, not many sources for info outside of relatively simple life. This album comes out and songs like Out of Sight and Who Cares Wins start to inform me. All these years later and I’ve been supporting a housing organization for almost 20 of them.

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

-a bit more on this because it is important. I walk my dog every night at midnight. We do around 4 miles and walk to the parking lot of a nearby mall. Some folks live in the bus shelters around there from time to time. This is central Canada and it gets down to -40 some nights. I make a point to check on them and see if they need anything. They usually say no but ffs it’s -40 out, usually best just to bring something. I stay and talk, help them to feel a bit more part of it all again. Millie is always wagging her tail and they smile. Some actually say “man, no one even talks to me”. Anywho, time is everything and I have some for them, especially these days. Who would’ve thought a video series would lead to a confessional 😁

@PsychonautPupilDialater Manitoba here, around 750,000 people in the city. Homelessness isn’t really focused in one area here, it kind of moves around. One dude I call Mississippi Jack because that’s the name of the gas station he stays at. There’s a brush in a boulevard that he camps in. They get to be known over time and some people do try to help. These days with phones it seems that getting a photo in and posted is the goal. That’s fckd. Cheers 🤚🏼

I have yet to meet an Anthrax album that I don't dig, but State of Euphoria is possibly my absolute favorite!! I know artists view their work differently than the audience, but maybe... just maybe... things worked out the way they did to benefit the album. Because, State of Euphoria is kick fuckin' ass!!! 🤘

[@tomobrien1444]

Yeah It's one of my favorite albums from them

[@johnnyfuckingmetalplaylist1489]

STATE OF EUPHORIA is n alwayz will remain my #1 favorite Anthrax album of all time n extremely highly influential to me. It pretty much set the tone for opening up the flood gates to heavy music as well as all forms of heavy extreme metal music for me. I've seen them live 4 x's since 1997. My favorite was December 6th 1997 in Tampa Fla. w/Coal Chamber & Pantera (headlined). Phil Anslemo came out during Anthrax's set to do a CELTIC FROST cover. If Anthrax comes back to Pittsburgh Pa when they can im definitely going to go v.i.p. with them n I've got ANTHRAX tattooed on the side of my left forearm.

Their professionalism shows. To them as artists they say, We should have done this and that. To the fans it's timeless and perfect because Anthrax can do no wrong.

[@TeleCustom72]

Anthrax on the State Of Euphoria tour in '89 was my first gig - Living Colour supporting.

[@mikemars2112]

This is one of the most underrated thrash albums. Overshadowed on both sides. Amazing production. Complex songwriting. Darker, more mature themes, hinting at what was to come.

[@Sara_Kane]

This is an extremely underrated album. I find the song quality overall, to be very high. And "Misery Loves Company" might just be my favourite song on it. It's a shame that the band members themselves don't rate it highly, but for me, the album is worthy of standing alongside their other classic albums with Joey. I'm enjoying this series very much, it's great seeing every album in their discography dissected.

[@Xander_Park]

Maybe being rushed just enough but not too much works well because I’ve always loved the album, it has a great vibe. Really feels like summer metal.

[@osu_ndn]

Saw the 30th anniversary of State of Euphoria in OKC a few years ago. The lights went down to start the show and the beginning of 'Be All, End All' started to play and for an hour I was back in 1988 as an 18 year old freshman in college. Anthrax's music makes me feel young and always brings back great memories.

Living in Tampa in the 80s and 90s, I saw these guys so many times. They played their balls off each time. It was an honor to see this kusic so often back then. Anthrax will always be one of my all time favorite bands. My job once took me into the house of Joey Fatone of Nsynch fame. He had a collection of guitars on the wall, including one signed by Anthrax. I was stunned. I used to have a photo of it, but it was on a work laptop rhat got taken. Anywho, I ended up sending an email to the address on the Anthrax website, figuring they might see it. I got a response from Scott and he said "Right on! There is a photo of us giving it to him on our website somewhere". Thought that was cool.

The 1st Anthrax album I bought. Had heard them a few times at parties, so I bought it since it was their most recent. I was hooked for life.

[@jamesmeeker6933]

The album-tour-album cycle that bands get caught in has to be brutal; creatively, physically, mentally, and socially. The seven album string that Iron Maiden did from their first until Seventh Son *has* to be a record for a band firing on all cylinders for an entire decade. Not a bad album in the first seven Maiden albums. Don't know how they did it.

[@saltpeter7429]

Agree. Right on. I think a lot of people over look Adrian Smith and his over all presence and impact. When he bounced after SEVENTH SON there was a slight drop in quality until BRAVE NEW WORLD. People tend to think it was the return of Bruce, which was awesome, but for me the unsung magic ingredient is Adrian. I said slight drop, NO PRAYER and FEAR are still decent, just not top notch.

[@dailyvault]

There was a time in the '70s when it wasn't uncommon for bands to put out two albums in the same year. Today, that seems absolutely insane.

[@heavysoul4862]

In their first five years KISS had 6 studio, 2 double live & 4 solo albums. And just like Iron Maiden toured constantly. I don't know of any band today who could match what the bands of the 70s and 80s had to do.
