Worship Music is a rebuttal to the attitude prevalent amongst neo-thrash upstarts and 80's reunion bands alike: modern thrash should be tempered with updated, heavier accoutrements, preferably raspier vocals. Nay! Anthrax didn't hurdle all these obstacles in getting the classic lineup back together just to have the resultant studio album diluted by trend chasing. Actually, it's almost eerie how anachronistic some of these songs sound: "Fight 'Em Til You Can't" isn't the most sophisticated song in the Anthrax playbook, but there is an encyclopedic command of classic riff writing in the AtL vein that betrays no rust; "The Giant" sports the kind of propulsive, playful rhythms that made 80's East Coast thrash so effusive and infectious compared to its more somber Bay Area counterpart (Exodus notably excepted).
