Amazon.com: You'll find no rap metal or nu metal on We've Come for You All--just Anthrax's inimitable thrash-metal melded with contemporary melodies, dynamics, and booming, arena-worthy production. Two way-cool guests--Roger Daltrey and Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell--are under-utilized on their respective songs, but with machine-gun, heart-pounding double-bass drums and vocalist John Bush's convincing snarl, it hardly matters. Bush, who has been in Anthrax since the early '90s, has been part of much of the group's best and most mature (if not most commercially successful) material. The dynamic "Superhero" is a winner, as is the radio-ready, not-too-heavy "Safe Home." "Nobody Knows Anything" and "Strap It On" are the best of the heaviest entries. Effective acoustic moments, Scott Ian's guitar work, smart lyrics, and a 7-minute-plus title track that never drags prove that Anthrax may not be metal du jour, but they're consistently superior. --Katherine Turman
We've Come for You All I love this CD! Every track is great. Excellent job by Anthrax!
great album, an instant classic!!! This album one any true anthrax fan would want. This is a monster album, with heavy guitar licks and riffs, and the speed that we all have come to expect from Anthrax. The new five man line up featured on the album also places back the depth that was lost after the sound of white noise album. With songs like "Think about an End" and "Any Place but Here", modern hard rock/metal bands get a display of why guitar solos will always have a place in metal. All of the songs are really excellent. So go ahead, splurge and buy this album, you will not be disappointed.
Bush carries this one Anthrax misses a bit with this one. I find "We've Come For You All" to be on the slow side", for Anthrax anyway. Tracks such as "What doesn't Die" start out great but don't seem to take off. I guess I was a bit disappointed with this album. From other reviews I thought is was going to blast out hard record. And for Anthrax it just seems a bit slowed down. I will say that as whole there is not a bad song on the record. It is definitely a tightly recorded album and it does rock, it rocks hard, but it doesn't thrash. Anthrax definitely went with more of a hard rock feel on this release.
I will say that I am comparing this record to the other John Bush albums and not the Belladonna era. The Belladonna era was Anthrax's trash period. When Bush joined the band they got heavier but lost a bit of their speed. This is fine with me because I actually like John Bush's vocals with Anthrax more than Belladonna. John Bush has a really powerful voice. All one has to do is listen to any of Armored Saints material and his power can be heard. In my opinion "Sound of White Noise is the best album Anthrax has done with Bush. Tracks like "Room For One More" just shred. That's my problem with "We've Come For You All" there is not one song on the album that is as heavy as "Room For One More" of "Only" or even "Hypro Glow". John Bush's vocals in my opinion are the strongest aspect on the record. He can still belt out hard.
I do not think this album is bad by any means. I do enjoy it but it's just a bit more of a laid back Anthrax. It does have some really catchy grooves to it. This record is a heavy just not extremely heavy for Anthrax. The songs are creative though and this album has a strong diversity of tracks. It's not bland in any way. My advice to anyone who is not too familiar with Bush era Anthrax to not start here, I will say however that I did see Anthrax with John Bush and they still play their old school material extremely fast and hard. Their live show has not slowed down a bit.
Scott Ian I love Anthrax and have every one of their albums, but is anyone else sick and tired of Scott Ian's two note riffs????
Anthrax returns to form Anthrax has had a couple of bad albums since "Sound of White Noise" and this one might be the best release since "Among the Living" It seems that Anthrax has finally balances themsleves as a True Metal Band again, and not this album doesn't contain the usual slower "Filler Material" like some of the past albums. No, its not as Heavy as the 1980's stuff, yet it is a good solid Metal Record. Its got some slower Stuff (yet still Hard) and some good "Thrash" Tunes. So I guess this is a little bit of everything for every type of Metal Fan. If you want to hear "the Newer Anthrax" Material, this is the one to start with.
