Persistence of Time

这不是一张标准的thrash专辑，似乎带点硬核的感觉，和弦下去以后迅速用右手制音，制造一种跳跃的节奏感，比较典型的是in my world的开篇，riff的感觉也不是标准thrash那种带有强烈的压迫感，但这张专辑不乏沉重和压迫，这种感觉更多的来自歌词及乐队所要表达的思想。

Persistence of Time rivals Among the Living as Anthrax's best album and might even be a clear-cut favorite if some of the songs had been trimmed a bit. The more cartoonish side of the band is missing here, trimmed in favor of a dark, uncompromising examination of society's dirty underbelly -- nearly every song rails against hatred and prejudice, but without an excess of optimism. The standout track is, once again, a cover -- Joe Jackson's "Got the Time" -- but the rest of the album is strong enough to hold its own. This is the album for those who want Anthrax's serious side without any of the pop culture references and tributes; others might miss those elements, particularly since there has always been a sort of clumsiness to some of the more intellectual lyrics. However, Persistence of Time is their most lyrically consistent album, and the music simply rages.
