Man, I fucking hate that. I haven't even heard all the cool B-Sides and outakes from the last album because of that crap.

Hey ANTHRAX, I love you to death, but you are SHITTING on your US fans for letting this crap happen.

No, the fact is the record companies do this because in many countries (European and Asian) it is much cheaper to get the import version (our version, the US version) than it is to get the domestic. That is why they release them early and stock them with B-sides. It has been going on for years as an economic necessity in the record industry.
 
Why did anyone vote for Caught in a Mosh??? It's already on fucking MoMD!!! SUCH A WASTE!!! And the other songs like that...ugh. They already did a live version of AIR, Keep it in the Family, I Am the Law, NFL, Madhouse, Metal Thrashing Mad...so sad. Oh well. Hopefully they enough of those B-sides to make up for it.
 
Yeah Coolsnow I gotta agree with you ^^^^^ - that was my disappointment with the record too. It'll still be a great record but we've heard a lot of the songs you listed a bunch of times already with Bush.

Why arent those 4 songs on the regular tracklisting, its stupid that they are bonus tracks cause everyone here seems to want those songs on the record more than the regular tracklisting.

I've heard this explanation dozens of times, but the economist in me wants to know WHY the CDs cost more in other countries, while the imports from the US cost less. Not complaining, but can anyone make sense of this?

Dude if there that much. Pay for them online and have them shipped!
 
This increased production cost stuff is crap. A cd image is a cd image. If they did the extra work to get them ready for the Euro CD, they could have been on the US CD. The extra production costs are almost nil. I just keep feeling slighted. The Japanese and Euro versions of the last three albums have always contained a ton of cool extra songs.

IMHO one of the best parts of being an Anthrax fan is all the kick ass covers. That's why Killer B's kicked so much ass, and consequently sold so well.
