    So, it's the early Thrash Metal Album we all know and love.
    Songs like "Deathrider", "Metal Thrashing Mad" and "Soldiers of Metal" are great thrash songs and standouts, while "I'm Eighteen" sounded like it could work on a Skid Row Album (which are not formed at this time) and others are good fun, but not great.
    I see myself headbanging to this record.

    Verdict: Good ol' thrashing fun, some Hits but the second half starts getting repetitive

    So, where are we after 1984?

    Bassist Dan Lilker and Singer Neil Turbin were replaced with Frank Bello and Joey Belladonna, creating the "Classic" Anthrax Line-Up

    I mention here Dan Lilker again, because with Nuclear Assault and Stormtroopers of Death (which included Scott Ian and Charlie Benante from Anthrax) he made his share of Thrash Metal classics.

    #metaljourney Day 2

    After re-listening #anthrax "Spreading the Disease":

    Damn this album slaps.
    "A.I.R.", "Madhouse", "Armed and Dangerous", "Medusa" are Hits, that working over the genre boundaries of #thrashmetal .

    I think the only real weak song is "The Enemy", which is kinda boring, while I'm unexpected fond for "Lone Justice" and "Stand or Fall". "Afterschock" is fine but "Gung-Ho" is again a great thrasher for the end, especially in the double package with "Medusa".

    I really get why Anthrax is one of the "Big 4", even in musical standards.

    @NoRestfortheWicked man the story is so wild. Neil Turbin insisted that they throw out Dan Lilker, so they got Bello as replacement. By the time they finally had enough of Neil, they couldn't fire Frank because he settled in so well and also is Charlies nephew, so... sucks hard for Dan.

    @derthomas
    I never got too much detail in the story tbh. But yeah, that sucked hard.

    On the good side: Nuclear Assault and Stormtroopers of Death wouldn't exist without it
