For all the songs on TGOTE....

I wish you had a "both of them" option. I like em' because they are different, different in tone more so than pitch.........
Seriously, it'd be nice if they cranked out another album of all new original material in 18 months or less. Yeah, I know that's a tall order with this band.

Yeah that would b great,that's half the reason people are over anthrax,they find someone else to listen to.
TGOTE was a bit unnecessary if you ask me, thought it was good when it came out but cant listen to it much now. Wish they had recorded it like a proper live show.

I do like TGOTE, but I also think that only Turbin's songs needed to be recorded again. This version of Deathrider kicks so much fucking ass and the video i great too!

Yes Deathrider is by far the best cut on the record, Joey failed miserably when he tried to squeak this one on the first reunion tour. I hadn't listened to TGOTE for maybe a year or so and got back to it few weeks ago, listened to it a few times. It's pretty good but would be better had they included some more "rare" songs such as Discharge, S.S.C., One World or Finale... I mean, I'd already heard Caught In A Mosh, I Am The Law and Madhouse million times...

never liked this album much, didnt really see the need for it. Bought it but never listen to it.
The album is a shocker. John Bush does a great job though, the problem lies (1) in the so-called modernisation/semi re-writes of songs and song parts and (2) the butchering of Spitz's solos.
1. Firstly, Anthrax eliminates/waters-down, one of their core components: speed. Gone are the staple 220+ bpm d beats, instead we have the "heavier" groove metal tempos of 190. Here's just a couple of examples (obviously this relates to the faster tunes):
Indians: AML: The main riff, verse, pre-chorus, chorus fluctuates between 216-224bpm/ GOTE: hovers around 194bpm.
Among the Living: Main riff, verse etc. ATL: 203 bpm GOTE: 185bpm
Caught in a Mosh: ALT: 215-224 GOTE: hovers around 195-200bpm
etc.
Also the pointless added 1 bar breaks in Caught in a Mosh before the fast bass lick, and the same happens before the intro drum rolls in Among the Living. These add fuck all to the song, they hinder. etc.
2. For the solos, see Keep it in the Family, Be All End All (ok, there is some sic jamming there), A.I.R and many others.
