Damn! They had seven freaking years to work in this album and now they have Joey Belladona with them, so, I'm going to get really angry if this turns to be utter shit >:[

I just want some top-notch Thrash metal from them, is too much what I'm asking for?

I'm with ya. Hoping this will be good.

Is Joey Belladonna back in the band?

Yes!!! I was a huge, HUGE Anthrax fan back in high school and early college. I pretty much worshiped them until Joey left the band. If he's on vocals on this upcoming album, I'm definitely getting it! And, might I add, I was bouncing off the walls when I heard he was actually rejoining them!

SWEET Joey COME BACK:banger2::banger2::banger2:

Yeah! Vampires, i listened to that song with Dan Nelson on the vocals, i always thought this could be a great song with Joey on the vocals, now. is just about time!

I absolutely adore Belladonna-era Anthrax. But I don't like AT ALL the John Bush era. Joey beign back in the band was the best metal news in 2010 for me.
Still, I don't have high hopes for this album, mainly because it was composed with Bush on mind. It'll probably be more alternative metal than thrash. I think they should scrap the full album and start from scratch

After hearing Joey singing "Fight Em' Till You Can't", I now at last have some faith that the new album might be decent. With him singing, it just sounds like "Anthrax". I had long given up on them, but now Im actually looking forward to the new stuff! Charlier and Scott were numpties for ever letting Joey go.

I still have hope to this becoming album to be a big peace of an anthrax album! I hope joey keeps that strong voice that he did on the DVD The Big 4! I Love that voice men, it looks like a mix of Iron Maiden with Power Metal style but a better voice, offcourse!

Can't wait for this. With Belladonna back, I have high expectations.

Although this album is in serious danger of becoming thrash metal's answer to "Chinese Democracy", (I mean, it's been 8 years since their last album, it's getting a bit ridiculous now! lol) with Joey back at the helm, Im cautiously optimistic that this is going to be a good one. xD

Joey or John Bush. Makes no differance to me as long as It's not Dan Nelson. ughh!

What if it turns out to be thrash metal's answer to "Time".

^^ Even that has a long way to go, before it catches up to "Chinese Democracy" in terms of the long wait.

Woah, it seems like one of the new songs is going to be called "Judas Priest". lol Ive just been reading an interview with Charlie and he says "... there's a song called "Judas Priest" - it may change, but we like that title, because Judas Priest has called it quits, and it's going to be the last hurrah for them. We wanted to dedicate that song to them." That is very kewl, I hope they choose to keep that title!

Yep, they have been working on a new album since late last year. The only thing they are stopping doing is world tours. The current "Epitaph" world tour will be their last.

I cant wait ,,, hope will awesome album for this year

I've just listened to another new song from the album "The Devil You Know", and it's awesome! It has some very catchy riffs, and it's great to hear Joey's melodic vocals in Anthrax again.

OMG OMG OMG Oh my god oh my god aaaaaahhhh so happy !!!!!!!!!!!!

"Fight 'Em Til You Can't" always listen to this stuff sounds me like a funny Metal!!! but on the other side "The Devil You Know" is kickass!!!

I listened to both "Fight Em Til You Can't" and "The Devil You Know" on headphones for the first time this morning, and they sounded amazing! My crappy laptop speakers really didn't do the songs justice!

Just heard "I'm Alive" earlier, and although the sound was low quality, it still sounded like it's a good song. xD I really can't wait to hear "Earth On Hell" which according to reviews I've read, is the real thrasher on the album!

Way too modern sounding for me this one. SOme of the songs would have been better with John Bush on vocals

Hmm... I kinda feel the opposite. lol If John Bush had sung on these songs, I think they'd have sounded even more modern.... Joey has a classic melodic metal voice that stops the songs from sounding too modern, and more like classic heavy metal. I love John Bush's vocals, but for me, Joey has always been the right voice for Anthrax, and I'm glad it's him on the album! Hope I can hear the whole thing soon. xD

Some of the songs NOT all It is clear a couple of songs were written with Bush in mind.
And Bush is imo the superior vocalist of the two, especially in the lower regions. Joey is too much of a thrash screamer at times. Bush is brilliant for classic heavy metal (just listen to Armored Saint)
For me Joey had his high point for Anthrax on Spreading The Disease and went downhill after that (as did Anthrax btw)

I think Joey and John are pretty much equal in their vocal abilities, and they have very different styles, so it's hard to compare them like that... lol I'm a big fan of Armored Saint, so Im well aware that John can sing classic heavy metal! hehe I merely meant that Joey has a completely clean voice, whereas John has a rasping quality and can inject more aggression into his vocals. What made Anthrax stand out so much for me in the 80's was Joey's classic melodic metal vocals contrasting with these really heavy, and thrashy riffs. He was the key ingrediant that made Anthrax so unique compared to most other thrash bands who had harsh vocalists.

Funnily enough, I was listening to "Spreading The Disease" on my ipod earlier. It really is an awesome album, even better than "Among The Living" in my opinion. As well as Joey's vocals, that album was like the perfect mix of thrash and classic metal, a combination that they all but left behind after that album. They still made some great stuff after that though, and even "State Of Euphoria" has some amazing songs on it that I think are really underrated.
