10 Most Underrated Metal Albums Of The 2000s

10. Anthrax - We've Come For You All (2003)

The John Bush-era of Anthrax saw the New York natives turn towards more groove metal and alt metal influences, motivated by the groove and grunge styles of the 1990s, Bush's time with Armored Saint, and the band's kinship with Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell. While the collaboration started on a high, with 1993's 'Sound of White Noise', the ensuing follow-ups failed to generate much excitement, or wrestle the spotlight away from the nu metal craze.

For 'We've Come For You All' though, the band's first album in 5 years and their first on Nuclear Blast, a detour down a hard rock path appeared to give Anthrax a fresh guise and a new outlook. With guest appearances by Darrell and The Who's Roger Daltrey no less, the band's ninth studio album turned into a groove metal/hard rock hybrid of jaw-tightening riffs and room-shaking sing-along melodies, thanks to the tandem of Bush and fresh-faced guitarist, Rob Caggiano.

As great as 'We've Come For You All' was, it wasn't enough to save Bush's relationship with the band, as Anthrax would eventually reunite the 'Among the Living'-era line-up, ousting Bush in favour of former vocalist Joey Belladonna. The last hurrah for Bush, and thus far, the last great Anthrax album.
