We've Come for You All

We've Come for You All is the ninth album on which Anthrax, using sharp riffs, bouncing rhythm and John Bush’s powerful singing, powerfully sounds thrash metal’s sure core with a more modern hardness. After the modern experiments of the previous works, it beautifully unites the band’s native aggression and memorable hooks. Even in fast songs, without losing the sure hooks of the choruses, the band’s own playfulness is also firmly kept in places. From the development from the opener “Contact” to “What Doesn’t Die” and the moving ballad “Safe Home,” every song is engaging, while the aggression of “Refuse to Be Denied” and cuts like “Superhero” and “Any Place but Here” convey the work’s fullness. Its gorgeous guest lineup also shines, such as Dimebag Darrell appearing. By weight and lightness coexisting, the work gains varied, rich expression. A momentum-filled, sure reaffirmation that beautifully connected long, rich experience to a new sound. Also one of the last studio albums John Bush regularly participated in. After this, the flagship Belladonna would dramatically return to the band. A powerful, engaging, fulfilling work showing Anthrax’s mature aggression — a record where the band’s ability shines.
