Untitled

The Island Years is Anthrax's first full-length live album. The album was released in 1994 by Megaforce Worldwide/Island Entertainment. As it is a live album, there were no new singles. The album features vocalist Joey Belladonna, who had been replaced in the band two years earlier by John Bush.

Tracks one to eight were recorded at Irvine Meadows, California on October 19, 1991. Tracks nine to twelve were recorded at the Electric Lady Studio, on January 28, 1992.

The rendition of "Bring the Noise" on this album features both Anthrax and Public Enemy, and starts out with Flavor Flav doing most of his song "Too Much Posse", to a beat by Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante.

As of 2006, The Island Years had sold over 42,000 copies in the U.S.[1]
