State of Euphoria by Anthrax
State of Euphoria is an album by Anthrax, released in 1988. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Anti-Social”, on 1 list with a best position of #422.
State of Euphoria, Anthrax's fourth studio album, came out on Megaforce/Island on September 19, 1988, with Mark Dodson producing, and it had the unenviable job of following Among the Living, the record that finally broke the New York thrashers. Joey Belladonna sings, with Scott Ian and Dan Spitz on guitars, Frank Bello on bass and Charlie Benante pounding the kit.
It's East Coast thrash at full gallop, crunching riffs and gang-shouted choruses, and "Anti-Social" and "Be All, End All" are the tracks that stuck around. The critics were cooler on it than on its predecessor, but the fans didn't care: it sold even better, and it helped cement Anthrax's place among the most successful bands the genre produced, one of thrash's Big Four.
