ANTHRAX - WE'VE COME FOR YOU ALL
SAFE ROCK
In the 90's Anthrax struggled and a lot of the old fans were dissappointed in the more rock oriented direction that Anthrax took with John Bush as their vocalist.
After being somewhat quiet since 1998 Anthrax released 'We've Come for You All' in 2003 after five long years. But it wasn't the big comeback that the old fans had hoped for. This is still something of an alternative rock album but perhaps it's slightly better than the rather horrible Stomp 442 and Volume 8.
New to the lineup was Rob Caggiano who didn't really replace anyone but was more added as a fifth member. There were some rather legendary guest musicians on this album or what about Roger Daltrey from The Who and Dimebag Darrell of Pantera. Dimebag was almost a member of the band at this point due to him being a guest musician for the third time.
Safe Home was a rather big hit from this record if I wasn't aware of it and somebody said that it was a Foo Fighters song, then I might have believed them. Because this is more of an alternative punkrock album than a thrash metal record.
CIf you compare this record to what the other big four were doing at the time, it might be the best record in comparison to Metallica's "St.Anger", Slayer's "God Hates Us All" and Megadeth's "The World Needs A Hero". Albums that were all was released in the early 2000's. But being the best amongst garbage isn't anything to be proud over. I think that 'We've Come For You All' is modern, cheesy and utterly forgettable.
