Yeah, imagine how Billy Milano got pissed off in 1985, when some goddamn Paki at the local grocery store gave him oranges instead of bananas as he wantedErnest Thesiger wrote:I knew "Angel of Death" was about the horrors of Auschwitz & wasn't a glorification of it, back when I first heard it aged 13. When SOD wrote "Speak English of Die" they really were narked off about immigrants working at grocery stores who couldn't speak English properly. Fair enough (I suppose) but that "Dot on your forehead" line (not to mention the title) takes it too far. It's not sarcastic, it's crass.sovdat wrote:Do you believe that Angel of Death is a Nazi song too?
Anyway...
The WORST albums released by a thrash band?

To me Speak English or Die tries to be subversive, like, let's pretend we are the ignorant people we hate, let's be retarded. It's just teenagers trying to be sarcastic but it comes out more serious than they intended it to be because, hey, they were not the brightest in their class. I don't know about Milano though. He might have trully believed the lyrics were for real...sovdat wrote:Yeah, imagine how Billy Milano got pissed off in 1985, when some goddamn Paki at the local grocery store gave him oranges instead of bananas as he wantedErnest Thesiger wrote:I knew "Angel of Death" was about the horrors of Auschwitz & wasn't a glorification of it, back when I first heard it aged 13.

What bothers me about Anthrax's lyrics is their "hippie-do good-love all" quality. Heavy metal demands more guts, not just the basic high-school social awareness. It's totally cool that they lean a bit to the left of the US political spectrum. I just want more blood-neath-the fingernails in my metal, something more daring than that. It doesn't cut it for me and dwelling in the obvious and mundane is a heavy metal sin, more serious than being god-awful on a musical level. "I'm worried about all the injustice in our society and I'm angry as fuck- I will prevail!" is more like it.
But this doesn't mean I'm not keeping notes...

Maybe you just don't like thrash and/or harsher vocals at all...Witchkiller wrote:There's a lot of stuff considered "classic" that make me get bored to tears

No,me not likin' Thrash ain't the case....BELIVE ME,it ain't the case...It's just that i dig Motorhead/Venom like thrash metal with harsher vocals,filthier/more vicious sound than the bands in my "don't like"list...

Aww man i love Among the Living. Not the best for sure, but definitely not the worst, not by a long shot.
I agree wholeheartedly with Sacred Reich - The American Way. Man that album sucks hard. The title track is the only good song on that generic piece of crap. Just stick with Ignorance (one of the most underrated thrash albums of the 80's) and Surf Nicaragua and forget about the rest.
