One of the first metal album's I purchased, Anthrax very different on this debut, bereft of Joey Belladonna, vocal duties more of a typical thrash wail courtesy of Neil Turbin who was booted from the band after this record. Whilst Metallica, Exodus and Slayer hit the ground running with their careers, this mediocre, (if that!) effort didn't do much for Anthrax, a mild speed metal effort notable for it's 'Metal Thrashing Mad' anthem, made even more impressive by Belladonna's tones. 'Fistful..' is a band lacking in crunch and direction but deserves inclusion because of its watery impact it had on me.
5/10
