Among The Living was dedicated to Metallica's bassist, Cliff Burton, who had passed away prior to the release of the album, and was a major influence on Frank Bello's style of play, and the album was the band's major breakthrough, with the video for Indians having had a large amount of airplay on MTV. So, just how good IS Among the Living, and what's so good about it? During a period where bands such as Slayer and Kreator were playing as fast as humanly possible and Megadeth were experimenting with odd structures and a more technical side of thrash metal, Anthrax were busy reinventing their own brand of thrash. This album takes what makes those other three great and amalgamates them into a perfect example of how the fastest, heaviest, and finest thrash metal is created, but without being inaccessible to a non-thrasher. The ironic behaviour (with great lyrics about politics and society) and the sonic violence are the most important characteristics of their sound and here we have the maximum expression of them. His voice is both melodic and aggressive, something that can only be accredited to such legends as Rob Halford or Dio.The writing is downright fantastic. With all the competition that this entailed, Anthrax was sort of pushed off to the side by more extreme acts such as Slayer in terms of being a revolutionary force, though they did maintain a large following and Scott Ian was wherever the cameras were. I have always believed and will always believe that Anthrax with Joey Belladonna is the only Anthrax there is, and his presence is invaluable on this album.

These albums make up what I call the Thrash Starter Kit. Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer have legions of fans across countries yet undiscovered, while Anthrax has to make do with the smaller, yet entirely more rabid, fanbase they currently have. Like I said, everything just came together. Once again this is an album, worshipped by many and incidentally trivialised by a small group calling themselves thrashers but who were between 0 and 5 years old when this came out.

It all comes down down to personal taste.

The BBC has described the album as "arguably their big breakthrough", and "often cited by fans as their favorite Anthrax album".

Recording information: Co-Produced by Anthrax. However, the band were at their most enjoyable period, in my opinion, upon the release of Among The Living. Everything that is great about this album, about Anthrax, and about thrash in general is put on showcase perfectly here. Few thrash acts could ever claim to be as diverse or as flat-out fun as Anthrax were throughout the 1980's. It's still pretty stellar when you consider the circumstances, and the contrast is very even, something Reign In Blood didn't handle nearly as well.Among the Living, and Anthrax in general, manage something that few thrash bands (especially in the Big Four) have ever done-they actually have a little fun, and deal with some less serious subject matter.

While Fistful of Metal and Spreading the Disease were both great in their own right, it wasn't until their third album Among the Living that New York's Anthrax embraced the crunchy thrash of their prime. Packed full of memorable lyrics and more riffs than you can shake Scott Ian's goatee-thing at, it was easily one of the better thrash albums of 1987.Anthrax made five excellent full-lenght albums in the 80's and a couple of nice EP's as well. Zespół bardzo chciał pracować z producentem Eddiem Kramerem, który na swoim koncie miał współpracę m.in. Scott Ian is one of the "faces" of metal. Music by Ralf & Mithril, except "Drown out the Silent" by Henner, Ralf & Mithril, Lyrics by Henner, except "The Wake" by Ralf.

In some respects it is unfortunate that this ended up happening to the band, but it’s hard to compete with something as brutal as Reign in Blood and the emerging death metal scene it helped inspire without sounding light in comparison.This is the Anthrax true masterpiece to me. Joey Belladonna was at the highpoint of his career, Dan Spitz and Scott Ian were filled with memorable and thrashy riffs, Frank Bello was thinking up some unique things, and Charlie Benante was on fire with fast, thrashy drumming.
