Hi all! A while ago I posted here about my own discovery of Anthrax when they opened for Priest back in February. I said that I'd keep everyone posted on my progress, but I've been rather bad about doing that! I've gotten a bit sidetracked - Rush came out with a new album which I listened to for 3 weeks straight and I wound up seeing them 17 times on their tour. 
I saw Dream Theater quite a few times as well, and I've discovered a few "new" bands that I really like, especially "the greatest band noone's ever heard of" - Threshold. They're amazing. Everyone should check them out!
But I have gotten a few more Anthrax cds - Spreading the Disease and Persistance of Time, to add to what I had the last time I posted, which was Among the Living, Stomp 442, and Sound of White Noise. I'm really impressed - all of the albums are very good. I still don' t have the elusive Volume 8 that everyone has said is so good, but one of these days I'm sure I'll find it. In the meantime, I've decided that Persistance of Time and Among the Living are my favorite 2 Anthrax albums. Great stuff. I'm looking forward to the new album finally coming out. And to seeing them live again, which is what got me started in the first place. I love a band that puts on a good show and appears to actually be happy to be on stage, and they put on an incredible show and looked ecstatic to be there.
I also got a couple of Armored Saint discs that someone here recommended. I don't remember which ones, and I only listened to them about twice each. It wasn't that I disliked them, but at that time I was getting way too much stuff that I just liked better and was on music overload. It's even worse now, but eventually I'll catch up and get back to them.
