Among The Living
[Album]

27 March 1987

 
'Among The Living' is the third album by Anthrax. The album is dedicated to Cliff Burton of Metallica, who died in a bus accident six months before its release while Metallica were on tour with Anthrax as the opening act. Veteran engineer Eddie Kramer, at his first venture with a thrash metal act, co-produced the album. Recording proceeded smoothly, but different visions for the sound of the final release created disagreements between Anthrax and the producer during the audio mixing. The album was critically acclaimed, and promoted the band among the "Big Four" of thrash metal.

I'm The Man
[E.P.]

?? September 1987

 
'I'm The Man' is the second E.P. by Anthrax. Later cited as being hugely influential, the title track is considered among the first rap-metal songs ever recorded. It is novelty song that parodies the style of Beastie Boys. Its main guitar riff is based on the melody of the Jewish folk song 'Hava Nagila' (as guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz, as well as all the members of Beastie Boys, are Jewish).

[Album]

23 November 2004

 
'The Greater Of Two Evils' is the tenth album by Anthrax. It was the last Anthrax release prior to the band's reunion with Joey Belladonna and guitarist Dan Spitz. The album is made up of 14 songs from the band's early era that were first released between 1983 and 1990. These tracks have been re-recorded by Anthrax's 2004 lineup, with vocalist John Bush recording new versions of songs originally sung by Neil Turbin and Joey Belladonna. The final track listing was decided by a vote on the band's website. The track list was then recorded by the band "live" in the studio over two days. The album did not chart in the U.S., selling 3,400 copies in its first week.
