A savage Anthrax album; and a worthy addition to any metal collection. Stomp 442 is a brutal hard rock album with a metal edge, full to the brim of very `Scott Ian trademark,' riffs; awesome guitar solos and very funky, head bang-able breakdowns. For ages I had written this album off, I listened to it about four times and gave up on it... but recently I came back to try it and realised how very good it is, its now one of my favourite albums. The production is great, the riffs are plentiful and the vocals are awesome; there's even appearances by Dimebag Darrel! Songs like `Random Acts Of Senseless Violence,' `Tester,' and `American Pompeii,' are pure class. The album is wonderful, but was under promoted and ignored by record company politics; on quality alone it deserves to be huge.
