This is a review blog that critiques what is current and classic in heavy metal today. Each album is rated 1-10, one being the lowest drek imaginable, and 10 being an absolute motherfucker. I sincerely hope this helps you in your obsessive quest.

Anthrax-Armed And Dangerous (1985)
Ahh, yes. Anthrax unleashes Joey Belladonna upon an unsuspecting world. It's such a shame that Anthrax spent all of the 90's releasing mediocre nu-metal and trashing this good man's name when his accessible voice was part of the magic that made 80's Anthrax so special. Never an evil thrash band, instead crafting power metal, and later hardcore, tinged tunes for the mosh pit, this EP is a good introduction, though it contains one duff original(Raise Hell) and a bad Sex Pistols cover(God Save The Queen). Not quite there yet, but a good listen for fanatics.
