Hey guys

I'm relatively new to anthrax - never really attempted to get into them. I fell into the trap of hearing 'Safe Home' as my first track and kind of got the impression of the band from that...a sad thing to do i know..


Anyway! I bought UK's Metal Hammer, and in it they've 'dissected' every one of their albums. They put a 'biohazard' sign by 'fistful of metal' and said it's one to avoid...I personally think it's pretty good...what's the general concensus among the thrax fans??

Metal Thrashin' MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAIID!

I think Fistful of Metal is a good record musically. The vocals are kinda weird, but listenable. The CD itself is way too soft volume wise though. Probably only for a serious fan

Ha, fuck that!

Fistful is EASILY my favourite Anthrax album and I hate how overlooked Neil is as a singer.

We need more Paul Stanley clones in Metal.

Mind you, I had heard all of the Belladonna albums before I'd heard Fistful so maybe that has something to do with it.

Fistful of Metal is cool in the sense that it was 1984 and they, at the age of 20 or 21, wanted to destroy everyone's hearing.

To me personally the Fistful is more interesting than Kill'Em All. Sorry.

This is the album that got me into Anthrax back in 83 & 84.It's great,it's a classic,it's ANTHRAX!!!

Love Fistful. Great record from a great era for metal.

Fistful is cool! Posers in Metal Hammer can say what they want and suck my cock afterwards!

Now. Where´s the beer?
