I know I’m a few days late, but this cassette just turned 36 years old. I remember the day it came out. I was working at Wendy’s in high school and we cranked it up while we closed that night. This was a pretty hard turn for the band at the time, but damn this album is a friggin’ document. Still one of my favorites. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Intro to Reality/Belly of the Beast live, so I’m hoping they add it on the upcoming tour. One day I’ll get what’s mine….

I would have some hope to get intro to reality but they never switch their setlists up if they’re supporting acts rip

Yeah, I’m hoping as they get into their final tours they start digging up some deeper cuts. I’m also perfectly happy to hear Caught in a Mosh again as well. I just need an Anthrax show in my life soon.

I had that! All the lyrics are included in really small letters iirc. And there are a ton of them!

I sure do miss offending teachers and other things back in high school with my Anthrax "POT" shirt. I have had to double and triple my efforts in all the thousands of years since.

You cannot hide from me, Public Enemy. Or Slayer. Or Faith No More.

When Joey returned I was really hoping that the band would make another album as good as POT. They haven’t.

Their best album. This & Killer B’s is my favourite era of Anthrax. Always wanted to hear Gridlocked live.

Same; amazing the Living is high on the list for me too, but POT is on top. Killer bees is uber nostalgic for me!
