Ok I have waited a week and tallied all the numbers up and the poll was a
great success, my thanks to everyone  who responded.  I had a little over 30
responses much more than I expected and it's cool to know there are few fans of
the thrax out there.  Well enough the with the B.S. here it goes.

Euphoria is pretty boring, it has a few good songs.  Among the living is their
best album according to the majority.  Killer B's Ok but it really wasn't them
the rap does get old.

...but I think John Bush will be a good replacement	


Other notes

The new album is being made as you read this.  They started recording in
October.  It is supposed to be the heaviest yet, and Scott Ian isn't the only
one writing the songs now (John Bush is helping alot) so maybe all the songs
won't be so political.  Scott Ian said that Bush has such a heavier voice they
are now able to write heavier riffs and not have to worry how the voice sounds
over them.  The album should be out April-June 1993

They also made a live album from the Bring the Noize tour, kind of a tribute to
Joey thing, along with a few studio tracks.  It won't be out till late 1993 on
their old label Island.

Also I got a post saying that Joey is busy at work on his own album possibly
out in Feb 1993.

I've got a bootleg "Axe the Odeon Down" it's really good Pre A.T.L. stuff if
anyone wants a recording e-mail me and we'll arrange something.  Also if anyone
has different bootlegs please e-mail me cause I want a recording!!!

Well that's about it.  Once again thanks to everyone who responded and Happy
Holidays to everyone.
