a late response, but this didn't go unnoticed... i'd imagine it's a pretty safe bet?

(1987)

There I was angrily grinding my teeth to some Slayer as part of Thrash Week, when i realised i'd never even HEARD Anthrax, one of the Big Four.
I am really not disappointed so far, apparently this is their only truly great album but what an album it is. Pleasantly technical but with the brute force, wall-to-wall riffage (some of the best i've ever come across) to back it up. Oh, and the lyrics are great (for thrash)... although a CD booklet wouldn't go amiss right now

I hope i'm not the only one, but for me metal has to fit the bill and there are certain no-nos for me - one of them is cheesy, yelping vibrato a la Bruce Dickinson (i just can't get into Maiden because of this), and I realise with NWOBHM this is part and parcel, but i can't stand it with thrash, it just clashes with the music most of the time.
Joey Belladonna's vox on this however are just the right side of theatrical; and Anthrax, of the Big Four, wear their hardcore punk influence on their sleeve the most.
Having had a little bitch about grating metal vocalists, Dave Mustaine is exempt because he doesn't sing per se... it's more trademark nasal snarl. Right?

You Say Party! We Say Die! - XXXX
Much different from Hit the Floor (haven't heard much of Lose All Time) especially the singing. Hopefully seeing them this month.

Welcome to Anthrax. It was a fleeting part of my teenage years but Among the Living was my FAVORITE album for a long time (probly 4 months in teen time). In fact, my first real exposure to anything metal was when a kid in my 8th grade science class loaned me Anthrax's I'm the Man. Several anthrax albums are hugely important to me mainly due to nostalgia but I still believe that it was quality music. Anyway, songs on Among the Living can still move me and I agree with your analysis of Belladonna and thrash vocals in general. I'd love to talk more about Mustaine's vocals too but maybe in the other thread.

Anyway
Here is a recent download (and I dig it too)

It is a fantastic and classic metal album. A strong case could be made for Spreading the Disease and Persistence of Time too
