Anthrax and... What?.......2006-01-27

I saw this CD in the store today and decided to check out the tracklist. Not only did I not see a single song performed by Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer (the other three members of the Four Horsemen of Thrash), but I recognized some industrial artists such as OhGr and Razed in Black. There were covers of Metallica songs, but the covers weren't necessarily of thrash-era Metallica.

And, though Amazon does not label an artist for "Nothing Else Matters," the CD cover claims the artist to be "Apoplygma Berzerk," which I can only assume to be "Apoptygma Berzerk," a band that had covered Fade to Black.

While I haven't listened to the CD, I cannot judge the quality of the music. However, based on the track list alone, I can guarantee that the compilation is WAY off target and should not be purchase by those interested in 80's thrash. As well, based on the fact that Artists and Titles have been mixed around or misspelled, it is easy to conclude that the compilation was rushed, likely further reducing its quality.

If you're interested in thrash, purchase any of the 80's albums from Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, or even Anthrax. In fact, it'd be safe to go in that order.

History of (Weak) Thrash.......2004-08-09

This album could have been great. I saw the title and got pretty excited, but then i saw "Nothing Else Matters." Where is Exodus? Death Angel? Megadeth even? This is the weakest thrash metal available and hardly a history of the genre.

I thought I knew Thrash history well...until this..........2004-05-15

I was expecting a few good metal covers glancing at the cover when i bought it. Instead I get hard house remixes ...it is truely blasphemy what these people have done! Do not waste your money. Who ever put this album together doesn't even know the difference between the bands and song titles...spot the mistakes on back cover. They obviously have no clue about thrash metal. Only one or two chunky tunes. Why Anthrax would put their name to this I dont know. No wonder the guy in the shop smiled at me when I bought it, I will be using it as a coffee mat!

WHAT THE HELL.......2004-02-29

What is this steaming pile of crap? Why are there "techno" covers of metal/rock songs on here? This is the worse thing I've ever wasted my money on. I love Anthrax, but wtf is this?

WHAT THE????.......2004-02-12

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? If I read it right it said HISTORY OF THRASH METAL!!! HOW DID NOTHING ELSE MATTERS GET IN THERE?

REALLY BAD IDEA FOLKS, REALLY.
