Anthrax Studio Albums Ranked From Worst to Best

[@dravenquinn264]

My ranking for the Anthrax albums would be 11. Volume 8 The Threat Is Real 10. Stomp 442 9. We’ve Come For You All 8. Persistence Of Time 7. State Of Euphoria 6. Worship Music 5. For All Kings 4. The Sound Of White Noise 3. Fistful Of Metal 2. Spreading The Disease 1. Among The Living

[@mrboulder9714]

Great ranking. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@klauswigsmith]

Great video! Anthrax is sooo underrated among the Big 4. You even have kids these days trying to say Anthrax doesn't deserve to be in the Big 4! I would have placed Fistful of Metal at #3, personally, but I agree with your #1 and #2 placings. Cheers!

[@mrboulder9714]

Yeah I have seen some people saying that as well. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@stevewomack4351]

Ok ok, you did pick a John Bush album top three! I’d have to agree. Don’t agree with shitting on the Bush years! Spreading the disease is awesome but the new albums with Belladonna at vocals kick ass! WEVE COME FOR YOU ALL is my number one!

[@L_S_23]

I can’t rank all as I’ve only listened to Fistful of metal-Persistence of time 5: Fistful of metal 4: State of euphoria 3: Spreading the disease 2: Persistence of Time 1: Among the living

[@mrboulder9714]

Can't argue with your number 1, that's a great album

[@DamnDealDone]

Sound of White Noise is in my favourite albums of all time list. No cheese. Catchy vocal lines. Totally sing along anthems. Original riffs. No filler. It's perfect.

[@mrboulder9714]

It's a great album. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@aneinthedark5008]

Bought 'We've Come For You All' on vinyl today, worth every penny! Have the same thoughts as you mr boulder, forgot how good it was. Big improvement over vol. 8 🤘

[@mrboulder9714]

Definitely, a big improvement on Volume 8. Some really good stuff in the Bush era that gets overlooked. Glad you're enjoying it fella

[@martymartin2894]

Totally agree with your ranking Mr boulder, Anthrax deserve their place in the big 4, exodus overkill and testament haven't made songs as good as what's on those top 2 anthrax albums.

[@mrboulder9714]

Yeah Anthrax are responsible for some excellent Thrash Metal albums, both Spreading The Disease and Among The Living are essential

[@igorkuimov4861]

My ranking: 11) Vol. 8 The Threat Is Real 10) Sound Of White Noise 9) Stomp 442 8) We've Come For You All 7) State Of Euphoria 6) For All Kings 5) Fitsful Of Metal 4) Worship Music 3) Persistence Of Time 2) Spreading The Disease 1) Among The Living

[@mrboulder9714]

Great ranking here. Definitely got Volume 8 in it's rightful place. Agreed with your top choices, all great album's. Cheers

[@robertpottle5427]

Good ranking. I also agree STD is the best. No sign of the new album yet!....Loved 'For All Kings', great songs and top production. Joey's the best vocalist in thrash in my opinion.

[@mrboulder9714]

Yeah, Spreading is a killer album. Looking forward to a new Anthrax album, hopefully it arrives soon Cheers for watching fella 👍

[@seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

I named my son Ian in part after Scott Ian and Ian Anderson , I know you like the Jackson RR White V here’s a tid bit you may or may not be aware of , Jackson made 60 replicas of the RR “Concorde” identical specs even with the black tape on the back of the guitar body as Sharon Osbourne didn’t want the white to show when Randy was coming on stage live and he would flip the guitar backwards and hold his arm up to cover the back of the neck and then the band would start the show with Over the Mountain after the intro this was during the Diary of a Madman Tour, Scott Ian purchased the first of the 60 guitars for $12,619,56 which is RR date of birth 12/6/1956 , cheers from USA Mr Boulder !

[@mrboulder9714]

Great list. Volume 8 is a real stinker

[@michaeluy114]

my personal favorite is persistence of time but good ranking anyway. Im glad sound of white noise made number 3

[@mrboulder9714]

Persistence of Time is great, listens to it constantly back in 1992. Sound of White Noise is fantastic and came at a difficult time for the band. Cheers for watching and commenting 👌

[@stormwind_7996]

'State of Euphoria' is a totally underrated album, and I agree that 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' is one of the best songs on the album (along with 'Be All, End All' and 'Now It's Dark'). Also, 'For All Kings' is such a brilliant powerhouse album, with 'All of Them Theives' being the best track for me. I'll have to listen to 'Sound of White Noise' again, based on your recommendation! 'Black Lodge' has always been my favorite track on that...brilliant! Great video!

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers fella. Sound of White Noise is very underrated.

[@tfort66633]

Great video and ranking of one the best and most underrated Metal bands of all time here my ranking 11. Volume 8 10. Stomp 442 9. Fistful of Metal 8. Persistence of Time 7. Sound of White Noise 6.

Great ranking right here. Can't argue with your top 2, both amazing albums. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

[@tomthurston9069]

Not many lists put "Spreading the Disease" as #1.....But I agree 1 million percent with you! There really isn't a bad cut, full throttle thrash

[@mrboulder9714]

Agreed, an excellent Thrash Metal album. Thanks for watching

[@metalmogul]

Enjoyed that James, can't argue with your #1 either! Refreshing to see someone rate a JB album so high, most people have never given them the time of day and rank them low by default, but they did put out some great songs in that period.

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers Andy. Yeah Spreading The Disease is just better than Among The Living and The Sound of White Noise is definitely an underrated album

[@jimmyjambhere]

The new reissue of Sound of White Noise sounds great!! It’s a German Nuclear Blast release so you should be able to find it pretty easy. I’m in the States so postage was expensive lol way better than the white vinyl reissue from 2 yrs ago. The only thing better about the US reissue was the bonus tracks. On the new version we just get a bonus version if Black Lodge which I’ve had for years. Also the new German Nuclear Blast reissue of Stomp sounds amazing as well. They were both just released a week ago. Both sound 100X better than the US reissues from 2 yrs ago lol

[@mrboulder9714]

I didn't bother with those reissues a couple of years back as I had nothing but bad things about them. The brand new Nuclear Blast reissue's arrived this week, and I'll be showing them in my next collection update video. Cheers for watching fella 👍

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers mate, yeah Sound of is a beast of an album

[@GRockVC]

Solid ranking Mr. B. Interesting to see white noise up there, I'm not too familiar with that one. Agreed with the strength of their latest releases, for me they're just as strong as they were in the mid 80s. 🤘🤘

[@mrboulder9714]

Agreed mate, just as good now as they were back in the day. Give Sound Of White Noise another listen, superb album

[@mr.random7078]

*TURN IT UP! BRING THE NOISE!* 😎 Great ranking, spreading the disease is a triumph of a album. So Mr Boulder do you think Anthrax should/deserves to be in the big 4? Would love to hear your honest opinion on this, some people definitely don't like Anthrax to be in the big 4. In my opinion they deserve the spot!

[@mrboulder9714]

Thanks for watching. Yes I definitely think they deserve their spot in the big 4, they have delivered some absolutely classic Thrash albums over the years so they are definitely deserving of their place

[@tainted_lord87]

Awesome Anthrax ranking, James! I'm pretty taken aback that Sound of White Noise ranked really high. Among the Living is definitely one of their best.

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers Tony. Sound of White Noise is a killer album

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

I think we agree on a few of these but just not Fistful lol. I can’t abide that record at all. They need to get something out soon, For All Kings was the first thing I bought when I decided to start collecting music again.

[@mrboulder9714]

Yeah Fistful is a bit of a stinker. Hopefully we'll get a new album soon mate

[@metalgrogu7019]

Great video. Completely agree with pretty much your entire ranking. I always felt Spreading the Disease was better than Among The Living but I always see Among The Living getting better scores and ranked higher.

[@mrboulder9714]

It's a tough call between those album's but Spreading is just that little bit better

[@metalgrogu7019]

I agree. Also, I like your band's song. You need to do a Judas Priest album ranking

[@mrboulder9714]

Thanks. I'm doing Motley Crue next, I'll do Priest at some point though

[@metalgrogu7019]

That's cool. I like Motley Crue. I'm not a huge glam metal fan because I find a lot of it too poppy but I like the heavier stuff and Motley Crue has some heavy songs, especially on their first few albums.

[@gunnerseven7724]

On point with spreading the disease and among the living but number three should have been persistence of time 4 should have been state of euphoria and five sound of white noise. From then on you were spot on.

[@uuu098]

I like State of Euphoria. It just seems like it hasn't aged well. I liked the more light hearted, less serious approach to it. I think the backlash affected them however because they came back with a darker toned album with Persistence. Worship Music is good but nothing like their 80's classics. I never really listened to Stomp 442, and the next two after that, except for the singles, but I hear those albums are really bad. It seems of the big 4, the lowest point of any of the bands was Anthrax in the mid to late 90's. They were definitely struggling. I like your enthusiasm and almost every album is "briliant". LOL. Cheers!

[@mrboulder9714]

State of Euphoria is an album that gets overlooked but I think it's a solid album. I actually really enjoy all the John Bush era albums now, I gave them more time and reaped the rewards. Cheers

[@holspa]

Nice ranking video again. Fistfulll of metal is my fave one, its a little low for you but we all have a different taste, right? Nice to hear your opiniones on there albums.

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers fella, some decent stuff on Fistful for sure

[@codytraweek4407]

You really need to give Stomp more of a chance, it will grow on you. It's my favorite Anthrax album.

[@mrboulder9714]

Hi, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I have been back to the album since making this video and I enjoy it more now than I did at the time. Cheers

[@adrianobrien2038]

Great ranking video James. I would place WCFYA further up and ATL would be my favourite. John Bush is a great singer but Joey belongs in Anthrax, what a voice. Saw them live a few years ago with Slayer and they were amazing. Looking forward to the next album

[@mrboulder9714]

Yeah I've seen them 3 times and evey time they were amazing. Fingers crossed we get a new album soon

[@infinitedarkness9476]

Bush is much better than Belladonna. More powerful voice. Better vocalist.

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

John Bush is an amazing vocalist. So good

[@mrboulder9714]

Agreed. John Bush definitely deserves more recognition as a vocalist. Thanks for watching

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

@@mrboulder9714 I just subscribed

[@Albee213]

First time I heard Stomp 442 I hated it. Listened once or twice and I just put it away and I never bought another Anthrax album until WCFYA. WCFYA is awesome and re-ignited my interest Anthrax. Then I went back to Stomp and Threat is Real and now like them a lot more. I have been listening to Anthrax since 88 and never really listened to Fist Full of Metal until recently because I only listened to Spreading through The Sound of White Noise. FFOM is good but in a dated old school way. WCFYA is the best one with Bush IMO. I prefer Bush overall, Bush live is awesome he sounds as good as the records. But overall, Joey is the singer for Anthrax. Persistence of Time is my favorite and best one IMO. Anthrax have hit out of the park with the last two releases.

[@mrboulder9714]

I prefer Joey over Bush , but I still love John Bush's voice. Sound of White Noise is my favourite Bush era album. Their debut is ok but it lacks their own style. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@JoshKeech]

Great ranking James. I haven't listened to a lot of Anthrax still, but I had a feeling Among the living and spreading the disease would be at the top, as a lot of people say they're the best 2. For all kings I have listened to and I think it's great. They're due another one for sure, been 5 years now. Maybe next year 😊😀🤘🤘

Good ranking video! My journey with Anthrax started with Attack of the Killer B's. Then i didnt get anything from them till We've come for you All came out. That album really got me into them. I had to back track from there. We've come for you All would be in my top three if i ranked their albums.

[@rocketrod1444]

Fistful of metal for me , the rest don't are o.k . Madhouse and Indians are killer songs IMO. John Bush is a great vocalist but is wasted on the Anthrax albums , Armoured Saint's March of the saint and Delirious nomad are his best IMO of course. Great video James .

[@mrboulder9714]

Cheers fella. Yeah March of the Saint is great 👍

[@davidburns6284]

Persistence of Time is my #1. Dark and riffy as hell, no filler. Relentless. I guess Among the Living would be #2. I don't get why most people bag on Volume 8. That album has quite a few serious bangers. And, I think overall, John Bush has a better voice than Joey Belladona. I'm glad they got that rap shit out of their system. That was horrible and tainted their discography, which is mostly pretty damn good.

[@mrboulder9714]

A very consistent discography no doubt about it.

The John.Bush era gets ovvein general in my.opinion. Turbin vocally was definitely imitating his influences. Cheers
