Debut album by Anthrax, with a lineup of Scott Ian, Dan Lilker, Neil Turbin, Charlie Benante and Dan Spitz. Lots of thunderous, fast and catchy riffs is to be found on this album. There are definitely some traditional heavy metal influences on here that would be replaced on later records by more, repetitive straight-up thrashing. Each song here is good in its own way and noone gets bored of this album easily.
