Career Retrospective,Live In Studio,W/New Singer,John Bush.

Anthrax: John Bush (vocals); Scott Ian (guitar, background vocals); Rob Caggiano (guitar); Frank Bello (bass guitar, background vocals); Charlie Benante (drums).
"These are your favorite Anthrax songs from the Turbin/Belladonna era Anthrax. You voted and we listened." So writes Scott Ian in the liners to The Greater of Two Evils, Anthrax's tribute to their past, their fans, and their present tense. Message board voters built the track list, and they did well, hitting on a mix of classics and fan favorites from the group's first five albums. But Two Evils also unites the band's early creative zenith with the resurgent promise of 2003's We've Come for You All. That album wasn't a comeback, since Anthrax had never really left. But it was definitely a return to form after a few years spent casting around for direction. Hearing the 2004 lineup of Ian, John Bush, Charlie Benante, Frank Bello, and Rob Caggiano absolutely rip into cuts like "Metal Thrashing Mad" and "Caught in a Mosh" -- and have their passion matched by raw and thumping production -- combines the thrill of returning to a great old album with knowing that the band's loving it just as much as you. Bush is particularly engaged for "Indians," and Caggiano's frenetic soloing to open "A.I.R." is a perfect foil to the track's near-hardcore bottom end. The beginning of "Madhouse" sounds like magnets ripping away iron plating, and "I Am the Law" and "Gung-Ho" are still clinics on thrash. Anthrax fans are sure to love The Greater of Two Evils, especially since they picked the tracks. But what's even better about the set is how vital it makes the band itself sound. ~ Johnny Loftus
If any group deserves to be renowned as "the people's metal band" it is surely Anthrax. With the exciting notion of re-recording a set of their 1980s-era material (when the lineup featured frontman Neil Turbin, followed by longtime singer Joey Belladonna), New York thrash-scene veterans turned to the fans to vote for the songs they wanted to hear interpreted by Anthrax 2004. Taking this ideal of metal democracy even further, Anthrax invited lucky contest winners to join the group as spectators for the sessions.
The result, THE GREATER OF TWO EVILS, is a live-to-tape performance, equally raw and refined, with very few tweaks to the original arrangements. Inspiring versions of "Caught in a Mosh," "Madhouse," and "I Am the Law" attest to the enduring appeal of Anthrax's early material. Diehard fans will love the cleverly tagged main riff from "Time" (PERSISTENCE OF TIME), used at the end of "N.F.L.," and the hidden bonus track "Lone Justice" that follows "Gung-Ho." For these same lifer fans, TWO EVILS leaves one bittersweet pang; originally joining the fold at the same time as Belladonna, bassist Frank Bello exited Anthrax to tour with the reformed Helmet, making TWO EVILS his last album after nearly 20 years with the group.

4 stars Hardcore Anthrax!
This CD is incredible. Never before have I heard Anthrax sound so good. I can't get enough of it. Yes the songs are old ones that were done over, but they were done in such a raw manner at blistering speeds that will make your head spin. Outstanding.

Classics rerecorded and with a lot more balls! Sounds better and is better than before. I still like the originals but this kicks.

5 stars If you like Bush AND old 'Thrax, this is for you
First off, John Bush is the man in my book. I've loved Armored Saint and my love for Anthrax went a hundredfold when he stepped on board. Now, I always liked the old Anthrax but ever since the Bushman entered the picture, I rarely listened to their old albums. Enter the solution! The great songs of years ago redone with The Voice along with some killer changes from Ian, Benante, and crew. These remakes are awesome! I think the only weaker version is Keep It In the Family; all of the rest blow the origs away! Even the backup vocals on Caught in a Mosh are better - I can just picture Scotty screaming his head off! Very recommended!

3 stars Great idea, but the results were not up to par
I think that it is cool to have John Bush sing some of the classic songs by Anthrax. It's also good that they finally got another guitarist to perform the leads instead of having random people to come in and perform them. Frank's bass sounds excellent. I like all three of the singers that Anthrax has had. The band also puts a few fresh touches on a couple of the songs. Now for the bad. Most of the songs sound like they have been slowed down(in a bad way). "Panic" is the only song on here that sounds better than the original. Hidden track "Lone Justice", "Caught in a Mosh", "Metal Thrashing Mad" sound good too. The production sounds very flat. The mixing of the solos sound bad as well because you can hardly hear them. Great, but could have been better. Look on the bright side, this band could have done covers of songs by boy bands and divas such as 'NSYNC, Britney Spears, Christina Anguilera, Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, 98 degrees and others(and they just might too!).
