Anthrax's State of Euphoria (1988) is the album the band has spent decades apologizing for, rushed by label pressure, recorded on a brutal timeline and forever overshadowed by the masterpiece that came before it. But is the reputation fair? In this episode of the Anthrax discography series, we dig into the chaotic recording sessions at Quadradial Studios in Miami, the songs that made it work anyway, and why time has been surprisingly kind to a record the band itself couldn't wait to move past.
Part of an ongoing Anthrax discography series. Previous episodes covered Fistful of Metal, Spreading the Disease, S.O.D.'s Speak English or Die, Among the Living, and the I'm the Man EP.
