Summary

We are back with another episode of Explore The Big Four! This time around, we listen through one of Ethan's favorite Anthrax records, 'State of Euphoria.' Coming out just a couple weeks before Metallica's '...And Justice For All,' this Anthrax release did not exceed what previous albums did, but it produced a few of their now classic songs, they toured the record a ton and even opened up on the Damaged Justice Tour in 1989. We also get into some good discussion in the email corner, chat about the passing of cassette inventor Lou Ottens, revisit Ethan's exoneration and hit some State of Euphoria facts before diving into the record.
