Another drop in quality can be found in the pseudo-thrash break/middle section of "American Pompeii". As the majority of the main american Thrash acts slipped into the different style of 90's Thrashing, so did Anthrax, beginning with 1993's "Sound of White Noise." Thanks to Durandal1717 for confirming it). A handful of tracks suggest that the band could save itself, but Stomp 442 is a disheartening experience for the band's dedicated followers. It's not a presentation of balanced and clean production job, but while it's full, it's not clogged by any means. In fact, most of it isn’t even heavy metal if you’re relying on standards of the genre aside from heaviness, which would qualify every single nu-metal band for the category. Its an anthrax album need i say more ? Who to blame? Even if you like this sort of music there is no way to enjoy this album with this idiot behind the mic. Let us know what you think of the Last.fm website. It proves Anthrax can do just fine without their traditional sound, Joey, and Dan Spitz. [UPDATE 11/20/07: It has come to my attention that it was actually beloved drummer Charlie Benante who wrote all of the horrendous riffing on this album, not Scott Ian (I had heard a rumor that such was true, but had no proof. The album is rocking and at times, punky, and those nu-metal whiffs featured aren't so much of killjoy as they could have been! Charlie Benante is one of my favourite drummers ever. It was released in 1995, (see 1995 in music) by Elektra Records. The Limp Bizkit tendencies are definitely here, but it still retains just enough elements of the early 90s Pantera sound to qualify as Metal in some respects. Stomp 442 is nothing like the instantly head bang inducing speed and thrash metal from the eighties.

In 1990 the band had released their most mature, and slower, thrash metal album, 'Persistence of Time'. Also so on 'Bare', which is a bit surprising semi-acoustic closer, where Bush manages to sound somewhat similar to Kurt Cobain.

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. People love to hit a band while they're down. And not too strictly. It starts off strong with the five tracks, but really falls short after "In a Zone". The other exception is “Bare”, which actually comes off as a joke considering that it’s a poorly sung rehash of what Gin Blossoms had been doing on their acoustic music for a couple years on an album populated with bad mallcore. I love Spreading the Disease. It's in fact a little rock ballad at the end of the album, but even then, the last part of this song is returning to the general sound of the album and is overall not even good. Mr. Bush also does more clean vocals on 'Nothing', which is one of the catchiest songs on offer. "Tester" is another generic number and is entirely forgettable. No lack of ideas in bass and drums departments!

At least that's how I look at it. The vocals are pretty awful too, as John Bush has decided to throw in a pseudo-rapping cadence to some of his work ('Random Acts of Senseless Violence') and throw out most of the tune and melody from his singing, perhaps the closest comparison I could give is that he sounds like a weak Scott Weiland.
Although I wouldn't hang it as high as I would Sound O', it's definitely a fun one to listen to and a nice album to own. Maybe it means something, that Mr. Spitz didn't write anything for 'Sound...' album any more, even though he never was a main writer for the band. Javascript is required to view shouts on this page.

The stupid cover art and lame album title should give a good indication of what level we're on here - this tedious, dated and awkward music that sounded bad in the '90s and hasn't aged well at all. That being said, the songs themselves were obviously geared more toward a 90's radio audience, with almost all of them coming in at a convenient 3:30-4:00 minutes. This is a party record or one I love to listen to while driving my automobile. Stomp 442 is the name of the seventh album by American heavy metal band Anthrax. The production is about the same, (despite the bands protests to the opposite) the performances are also in line with the previous - the only weak link is the songwriting. Here they rely more on vocal melodies and commercial sounds, but the riffs are still important enough to keep things from faltering, unlike on their later efforts. Instead, it's modern sounding and somewhat technical and guess what: it still rocks. Other than this however it's all 'in one ear, out the other' garbage. The band and Butcher Brothers produced t…, 1) Anthrax are an American, New York City-based thrash metal band, who released their first full-length album in 1984. By the second song on here, you'll have a pretty good idea of how the album is going to sound from beginning to end. No, because he still agreed to record Charlie's shitty material rather than write his own.] It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I wouldn't consider anything on this album to be bad. This distinction is the reason that an album cannot be judged on bad press alone. I can't stand it." Guys were around 30 years old, and new winds were blowing. It sounds raw. And then came John Bush, who I was still warming up to.

I had no intention of ever listening to Stomp 442 in its entirety. Originally submitted to (www.metal-observer.com) on February 28, 2009. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2015, John bush for me is the better anthrax singer and this album is as good as any of his releases people may not agree but hey.

I can imagine seeing Anthrax looking at the result of this album and even thinking themselves that the quality is similar to what we dispose of. He couldn't sound aggressive or sing in tune if his life depended on it; the guy makes the album so much worse than it otherwise would have been. The band seemed to try desperately to add some much needed variety but it still sounds forced upon the listener because the solos just don't fit at all the style they are put in. Probably Scott Ian.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. His lead work also fails, serving as a fine example of predictable textbook hard rock guitar solos.

Anthrax continued their downward spiral with Stomp 442, a generic collection of speed metal … Like the image of the album is showing, we are treated with real garbage music here. Even past and future albums of the same band included more positive moments in the genre forecast on Stomp 442. Stomp 442 is much more experimental than "Sound O' " and seems to be a logical step forward for Anthrax, with Dan Spitz having left the band after Sound O'. Mastered at Gateway Mastering. Even if he was the worst vocalist/lyricist on the planet, there would have to be a horde of fundamental flaws in the instrumental performances to allow an album to be as piss poor as this album is. For everyone's sake don't buy this or seek it out in any way, shape or form; it's a dreadful album that deserves to be derided and forgotten. The style is way more generic than on the last album. So this is another reason to skip this release entirely. And for a while, I thought Sound of White Noise was John Bush's only great album with Anthrax.

This is followed by more radio-friendly bullshit that the radio never bothered to play. So, the album sounds live!

"Nothing" relies heavily on vocal melodies, but in this case it just fucking works. Still, 'Stomp 442' is a remnant of mid-90s.

This is bad, but clearly Anthrax are capable of pushing their boundaries far below what anyone would expect of them. They wanted to appeal to the masses, only to find that the masses are fickle, leaving only old-school fans to disappoint. Make no mistake though, what is heard on here is absolute garbage, albeit fairly well sugarcoated garbage when you account for the production quality and the improved guitar sound. Go directly to shout page. Finally, I just don't understand this missed opportunity. It's what you would expect from a 90's Thrasher. To enjoy Prime Music, go to Your Music Library and transfer your account to Amazon.com (US). "Watchin' You" sucks as hard as the original, Anthrax finally doing a song justice for once. Recorded and mixed at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. It's backwards, it's backwards The grunge tendencies of the last album have been ditched, giving way to a really, *really* bad take on a hard/alternative rock and groove metal hybrid. If you liked any of Anthrax’s previous works, including the lackluster “Sound Of White Noise”, avoid this like crazy. It is quite different from a normal ballad and sounds nothing like Anthrax have ever done, before or after Stomp 442.
