  This is Anthrax’s first new album in, what? Ten years? I am here for it.

  I really appreciate it when a band I like ages gracefully and, at least on the initial listen, that seems to be what the boys are doing here. Is it is as intense as their 1980s/90s stuff? No, but that’s fine--we’re all getting older.

  And that’s what a lot of this album seems to be about: what have we done with our lives, how do we say goodbye to people, what are leaving for the next generation. I’m sure it’s just the age I find myself getting to be, but I wish more bands talked about this stuff.

  Anyway, I like this album a lot.
