Customer Reviews
After the album's intro, "What Doesn't Die" gets the album off to a thrash-tastic start, which a track that is Thrash Metal in typical old-school Anthrax style. Big riffage layered with some fantastic double bass drumming and John Bush's great vocals combine to make a song that grabs you by the balls, slaps you about the face and says: "THIS IS THE NEW ANTHRAX ALBUM. NOW SHUT UP AND JUST LISTEN!".
Anthrax have no pretensions - if you know Anthrax you'll already know this; this album isn't a flowing, progressive masterpiece, or anything of a suitably arty nature, it's an old-school band and an old-school style album in the truest sense - a collection of excellent, kick-arse songs. There is little need to run off a superfluous detailed track-by-track rundown. Everybody will have their own favourites after listening to "We've Come For You All"; but the important thing is the album doesn't let up on quality, and with some variety the album never gets boring (*ahem* 'One Kill Wonder' anybody?).
Along with the opening track, "Think About An End" and "Anyplace But Here" provide the expected thrashers. "Superhero" has a cool heavy groove, and "Cadillac Rock Box" is just funky. With it's heavy riffing and tight blastbeats, "Black Dahlia" is by far the heaviest song on the album. Changing the pace some what, "Safe Home" and "Taking The Music Back" are highly melodic, perhaps crossing into AOR territory a little. The catchy, anthemic choruses must surely make these potential live favourites.
The musicianship throughout is tight, but particular mention must be made to the drumming which is awesome throughout, especially on "Nobody Knows Anything" with it's complex patterns and cross-rhythms.
"We've Come For You All" is an album Anthrax can be proud of; a huge middle finger to anybody who wants to dismiss the band as "no longer relevant". If you are a young rock/metal fan and have never got the chance to hear Anthrax before - pick this up. If you are a long-time fan, why are you reading this? You should be out buying it already. You won't be disappointed.
I don't know a person that's heard Safe Home that doesn't like it. And I'm talking about both versions as well.
Cadilac Rock Box is probably my fave track on the album. The Boys of Anthrax combining with Dimebag Darell yet again. An excellent combination that never fails.
Black Dahilia is a track that really suprised me. Sounds a lot like Slayer and I would love to hear this track live.
This album doesn't miss a beat and I suggest anyone bored with metal music today go out and buy it if you haven't already.
