   Hey Vinny,

   Got to give respect to Anthrax. The new record kills. Being a fellow Bronx boy, I may be slightly biased, but they always bring the noise and do it without compromise. I honestly have not heard all the records on this list, but am now looking forward to checking some out. Thanks for the list. Nice work.

   Tokyo Blade
   Thousand Men Strong album is fantastic!
   Dark, rough and heavy with nice guitar solos and great voice of new singer Nick Ruhnow.
   Not a typical TB album but to me…the Best ever!
