We’ve Come for You All

We've Come for You All is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Anthrax. It included the singles "What Doesn't Die", "Safe Home" and "Taking the Music Back". It is considered a comeback album for the band after lackluster commercial success of their previous two records. Despite this, the album only reached No. 122 on the Billboard 200 charts. It is also the first Anthrax record featuring Rob Caggiano on lead guitar and the last to date to feature original material with John Bush on vocals.
The album's cover art was painted by comic book artist Alex Ross.
The Who vocalist Roger Daltrey and Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott made guest appearances on the album.
We've Come for You All received largely positive reviews upon release. Allmusic reviewer Johnny Loftus described the album as having "pile-driving thrash and carefree rock forays". Loftus went on to say that We've Come for You All is "a typical thrash metal album, in an age where such a thing no longer exists", and gave the album a four out of five star rating.
Metal Review reviewer Gregory Bradley stopped short of calling the album a "return to form" but instead claimed that the album is "an acceptable release." Bradley did, however, credit the album for having some "very metal songs", mentioning "What Doesn't Die" and "Black Dahlia" in particular. Bradley gave the album a 6.9/10 rating.
Vik Bansal, of MusicOMH, summarized We've Come for You All as "a bold, sleek and raucous slab of modern metal that stomps all over a lot of what passes for heavy music these days." Bansal cited "What Doesn't Die" for particular praise, noting the "razor-sharp" riffs present. Bansal further described "Cadillac Rock Box" as sounding like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath jamming together. Bansal summed up his review by stating that We've Come for You All is a "mighty album from a still mighty band."
However there has been some criticism, also. When reviewing Anthrax's eventual followup album, 2011's Worship Music, A.V. Club reviewer Jason Heller criticized We've Come for You All as having a "nü-metal stench" whilst comparing the two albums.
"Strap It On" and "Cadillac Rock Box" both feature guitar solos by "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. A hidden track is also featured on the album; one minute after the last song ends, one can hear a percussion outtake which was not used because Charlie Benante was unaware he was humming.
"Safe Home," which won a 2003 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for Song of the Year, received a music video which featured film actor Keanu Reeves. The video aired heavily on Uranium upon its release. In contrast, "What Doesn't Die" features a much darker musical tone and lyrics with a notably heavier style.
"We're a Happy Family" was originally recorded by the Ramones in 1977 on Rocket to Russia.
