Reviews Customer Reviews for Spreading The Disease      Their Only Good Album      Rating:      Anthrax has to be one of the most overrated thrash bands to come out the '80s and this album is really the best one they ever made. Charlie Benante is great on drums but Dan Spitz is just a lousy guitarist. Anthrax's solos pretty much just suck! Joey Belladonna is OK but his whinning voice gets old. A.I.R. and Madhouse are the two best songs on the album. The rest is OK but I find Anthrax to be just overrated in comparison to other thrash such as Pantera or Slayer. Good riffs; decent vocals and drums; mostly dum lyrics; and, simply lousy solo work. Makes me think of a decent garage band you invite for a summer block party with beer kegs. After a few beers the music starts sounding really great for a mosh with friends but that's about it.     Customer Reviews for Spreading The Disease Cd      Anthrax at their best.      Rating:      This is a great thrash album from Anthrax, its fast and energetic but also has alot of melody. What separates Anthrax from the rest of the thrash groups were their ability to sound different and not to mention their great and memorable songs like Madhouse, Gung Ho, A.I.R ect. Its hard to believe that this album was released in 1985 during the height of hair metal and yet this sounds nothing like those corny hair or glam metal bands, Anthrax's songs are very hard hitting and they just simply rock without having any gimmicks and Joey's singing was brilliant much better than that first guy from their debut album. The best songs are Madhouse which was their biggest hit and it has some killer riffs I also liked Medusa which was a very catchy song as well as A.I.R and Gung Ho and the ballad song Armed and dangerous which also manages to thrash at the end. Anthrax were a great group and they were definitely ahead of their time along with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer who managed to influence alot of heavy metal groups during the 80's so if you want the best thrash album from the 80's then you can't go wrong with this album, make sure that you also get Anthrax's third album Among The Living if you liked this.
