Pretty good sounding recording from the early days of Anthrax. The band was touring for Spreading The Disease. It was their Major Label debut, also their first album with then new singer Joey Belladonna. The E.P. Armed And Dangerous had sold okay but a lot of fans thought Neil Turbin was a better singer. I was and still am a member of that club. I also was slow to accept the change in style of music when Spreading The Disease was released. When a band has fired the core song writers who wrote or co-wrote every track on their debut, the follow up might sound a little different. The album had to grow on me, which didn't happen till after Among The Living. Kind of ironic the few songs I did like right off were written with the help of Dan Lilker and Neil Turban.

I do however like the chance to compare Joey Belledaonna's vocals on the early tracks to those of Neil Turban. Joey is okay but there are notes he can not hit that Neil could.
