1988's STATE OF EUPHORIA became Anthrax's first gold-certified full-length album shortly after its release, as the band was introduced to a wide new audience by opening up a stateside tour for Ozzy Osbourne. But although the band picked up new fans, many of Anthrax's old guard felt that this sixth overall release pushed the band in a less-than-savory commercial direction. Though not as strong as 1986's AMONG THE LIVING, STATE OF EUPHORIA still proved to be a much-needed alternative to much of the soft glam metal being proliferated by MTV and pop radio at the time.

In keeping with the band's past couple of releases, Scott Ian's lyrics are quite thought-provoking and imaginative. "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" addresses the ripping of older bands by startup metal outfits; "Make Me Laugh" is about two-faced televangelists; and "Now It's Dark" goes inside the mind of the deranged character Frank Booth from the movie BLUE VELVET. The album's best-known song however, is the anthemic cover of Trust's "Antisocial," which spawned a popular MTV video. But Anthrax showed that it retained its lighthearted side with the final two songs, "13" and "Finale."

5 stars State Of Euphoria , Anthrax
I loved this album when I was younger. For years never once bought a copy of this album for myself until just last month or so on cd . This is an excellent album to have in any rock music / heavy metal / or thrash metal collection . I love the entire album . My favorite songs are "Now It's Dark" "Make Me Laugh" and "Be All , End All" . This album brought back wonderful , great memories of my youth . A MUST have for any general music fan . And a great starter album for those fans new to being Anthrax fans of this cool, great popular thrash metal group from the 1980's . I give this album 5+++++++++ STARS!

4 stars Nice!
This was the first Anthrax CD I bought, and at the time I knew nothing about them, other than the fact that they were considered one of "The Big Four" in Thrash Metal. And I'm glad I decided to buy it. "Be All, End All", "Antisocial", "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". All great tracks. Everything else is pretty good too.

4 stars A very good album!
This is definitely not their best, but outstanding tracks like Be All, End All, Antisocial, and Finale make this one wicked good album! The fourth best album in the 80s.
