Who headbangs wins...
Genre: thrash metal
When this album came out, it was not received with great enthusiasm by the public, because people felt that it did not meet the standard set by the legendary "Among the Living". And "Among the Living" is difficult to top, but, removed from the context of "Among the Living", "State of Euphoria" is actually a very good album with a lot of interesting things one it (I mean, just listen to the opening of the very album). This album also contains all the elements that characterized the Anthrax of the 1980s: the humor, the lightheartedness, the social commentary, the hardcore punk influences, the metal thrashing mad guitar riffs, the vocal melodies, the cover track etc.
This is an underrated album which deserves another chance by those who dismissed it back then. I think it belongs in any thrash metal collection, and, due to the vocal melodies, I think that fans of not-too-cheesy power metal might like "State of Euphoria", too.
