Category 7 - Category 7 (FULL ALBUM)

[@georgemaiden]

John Bush - vocals Phil Demmel - guitar Mike Orlando - guitar Jack Gibson - bass Jason Bittner - drums

[@awfullufwa]

The Sound of White Noise is still one of my favorite metal albums of the 90's despite "true Anthrax fans" giving me shit for decades. I also thought The Unspoken King was a great Cryptopsy album. Come at me, nerds! After listening to the whole thing, this ranks up there with other 2024 greats like Weston Super Maim's See You Tomorrow Baby and Avralize's Freaks... but my taste ranges over much of the metal spectrum and Cat 7 is nothing like those other two I mentioned.

[@JKennedy442]

Yeah White Noise, Stomp442 and Volume 8 all were heavily in my rotation back in the day! Never got into non-Bush Anthrax despite trying many times.

[@TiltedBry]

The GREAT John Bush accompanied by one trillion guitar notes from Phil and Mike and a growling bass and drum due of Jack and Jason. Supergroup? HELL YES. Just inject this into my veins please.

[@karlgustav1346]

Love John Bushs vocals \m/ also really Great Songs and Solos \m/

Took a look at the thumbnail and thought the logo was a little Tekken looking, hit play and seconds later I'm like Aaaa, is that John Bush?!?

[@crazyjimheath]

amazing stuff!!!! knew that voice after one note !!!! METAL!!!!!!!

[@shroomsandmetal]

Release date (7/26) is also my dad's birthday and John Bush was in my dad's favorite singers (mine too). Growing up he was my gateway into metal I cherish the memories of watching Anthrax's "Attack of the killer A's" on vhs with him. He was always on the hunt for Armored Saint discs. And the Music of Mass Destruction dvd was sick too. Thank you this is very special to me. Love you and Miss you Dad RIP.

Wow. Nice comment

[@hellrazor67]

I already pre-ordered the CD and here it is free? What a world we live in. Glad to support Metal Blade Records for over 40 years. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@elanibo666]

Not sure if had to pay for the shipping... I would like to have a big CD collection but I have to buy them in Amazon because in Costa Rica metal music shops sells more clothing than albums.... I have to wait severals weeks, pay a significant amount for the shipping and worst thing is that on many ocassions jewel case is broken

[@elanibo666]

I dont mind to pay for a CD that is entirely on youtube

[@metalbladerecords]

Every album is on youtube and up on streaming platforms. THE FUTURE IS NOW.

[@TheFourthSeal]

Its always good to have a physical copy, that way you have it and can listen to it whenever in case it stops being on streaming services.

[@hellrazor67]

@@TheFourthSeal Totally agree.

After the Storm is one of sickest instrumentals EVER! Exhausted is frickin awesome. All the tunes keep me amazed. I'm looking forward to seeing the band crush it live.

Muito bom,mas,parece que,quando entra o vocal,a voz fica muito alta em relação às guitarras.A banda é excelente.O álbum é ótimo. Só que tem de ouvir naqueles Aparelhos de som antigos, tipo Aiwa,com um tipo de equalizador que dá p abaixar a voz p escutar o instrumental.

[@scotprather9855]

I must say I enjoy this better than Kerry album

[@mrt5342]

Man, there is a CRAP ton of metal history on this album, with this line up!! Initial thoughts on the project were definitely pumped up. I was never into Armored Saint, and the only John Bush I had been exposed to was on Sound of White Noise (which, as an Anthrax fan, was confusing in it's own right), so I continued to make the Anthrax "association" when checking the first couple tracks, and eventually the full album. What I keep/kept coming back to was Demmel and Bittner on a project together. Demmel hasn't done anything NOT worth listening to, since his days in Vio-lence. Bittner's had my undivided attention since first being exposed to him in Shadows Fall. Certainly enjoyed his work in Overkill these last few years as well, hated to see him go - one of the reasons I opted not to go see them live last month. I was also on the fence about the instrumental. Just didn't seem to fit the time, or the genre, and nowadays, Dream Theater seems like the only viable candidate to get away with it. It took a few listens, and kinda had to talk myself into it, but it's worthy metal of yesteryear, with a great cast, and I finally own a copy!🤘🤘

@@MetalDad67 Too much compression

[@stratupdude]

I think the vocals are too loud in the mix and the guitars sit too far back in it

[@kylereece1979]

@@stratupdude I was wondering about that, upon hearing the initial couple of songs that were released a couple of weeks ago. Do you think the albums has some of the same "loudness" issues that Metallica's Death Magnetic had, only perhaps not as severe? Im gonna get a proper listen to it on the headphones soon, but Im wondering if it will sound a tad too "compressed' like some other albums fall into.
