Product Description

CD Description

Although 1988's STATE OF EUPHORIA proved to be Anthrax's commercial breakthrough, the material didn't measure up to theband's crushing previous work. To correct this, these New York City metalists returned to their harder direction, and were rewarded with another gold-certified release. While the album wasn't a strict concept album, it did contain a commonthematic thread--time waits for no one.
A metallic coverof Joe Jackson's jazz/new wave composition "Got the Time" was an album highlight (for which a popular MTV video was filmed), as were the grim tales of "In My World" and "Belly of the Beast". The album-opening "Time" remains one of Anthrax's most unashamedly pummeling tracks, while tracks like "Blood", "Keep It in the Family", "One Man Stands", and "H8 Red" are just as intense. Several months after the album's release, Anthrax embarked on one of metal's first "package" tours,Clash of the Titans, which the band headlined with Slayer and Megadeth (while an up-and-coming band called Alice In Chains opened the shows). PERSISTENCE OF TIME would prove to besinger Joey Belladonna's last studio album with Anthrax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrash Metal Classic, 28 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Released in 1990 this was one of the last true thrash albums to impact on the mainstream market. Through out the mid to late 80's Anthrax with Metallica, had led Thrash and more importantly extreme (which it was for it's time) music into the public spotlight. By 1990 Thrash had reached it's commercial height, but was about to die a sad and premature death.
While the album itself was never going to better Anthrax's masterpiece Among The Living released in 1987, it still continued Anthrax evolution from 1988 State Of Euphoria and managed to sound fresh and new unlike a lot of the other Thrash band such as Slayer who's album Seasons In The Abyss, also released in 1990 sounded as if they were simply repeating South Of Heaven from 2 years earlier.

Persistence Of Time itself captured the sound of the time. While still firmly rooted in the old school sound they had made for themselves in the 80's there were hints of the new progressive sound the would use to reinvent for themselves in the 90's with John Bush.
As usual with Anthrax the rhythm section of Ian, Benate and Bello out does any other Thrash outfit. Dan Spitz often over looked as a lead guitarist plays some of the best solos of his carer, while Joey Belladonna sings out of his skin epitomising the operatic style used by many Thrash bands of the 80's, on what would be his last studio album with the band.
If you are a fan of any of Anthrax's albums during the 80's you really should by this album as it is not just a classic Anthrax album but a classic of the genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent, 22 Sep 2007
By Ld Gray "ekulyarg" (The Centre) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Genre defining? Slightly irrelevant now like all 80's "Thrash" reviews (I know this is a 1990 release) Metallica, Megadeth, testament, Exodus, Atheist, fook the name dropping this album rocks, it is great I love it, if you do too, then fookin A! Joey realises his vocal apex, (no Warblin).
Interesting riffs, quite progressive (only because the tracks are more then 5 minutes long)

Try it, if you don't like it, it should have only cost you a fiver so sell it a a boot fair.

Musicly great the only thing i had a slight problem with was the vocal, not heavy enough for me and whiney at times but still an amazing album.
