Anthrax - Spreading the Disease (1985) - Please look after Mister Brown - 96% (02/02/15)

"Young and free, something you'll never be!". The first lines of Anthrax's sophomore output resume the band's spirit back in the days very well. The East Coast thrash metal legend performs carefree songs full of enthusiasm without any compromises. Stylistically,...
