Anthrax was always a band prone to experimentation; in , they appeared on the title track of rap group U. In , they collaborated with pioneering rap artists Public Enemy on a joint version of PE's "Bring the Noise", although Anthrax already did a fusion of rap and heavy metal in the form of "I'm the Man" in Though it was quite a change from their earlier work it was more a "heavy grunge" oriented, especially because of the vocals , White Noise received mostly positive reviews and "Only" was a major hit in the liner notes for Return of the Killer A's, Ian says James Hetfield once told him it was a "perfect song".
Bush's voice lent a gravitas and weight to a collection of well-thought-out and technically excellent tracks. In keeping with the band's now-trademark eye for unlikely collaborations, classical composer Angelo Badalamenti provided music for the track "Black Lodge," a tribute to the TV show "Twin Peaks".
Importantly, the album demonstrated that the band had shed its sometimes cartoonish outlook in favor of mature, thoughtful songwriting, a trend which had begun on their previous studio album Persistence of Time.

Despite the hardships and various legal entanglements regarding who had the rights to certain albums, Anthrax managed to soldier on.
In , new lead guitarist Rob Caggiano joined the band, and the following year the band released We've Come for You All, through Sanctuary Records—an album hailed by the metal press as a long-awaited return to form. On solo-dates of the tours, for the first time ever, they performed the entire classic album Among the Living.
However, Joey Belladonna left the band again after the tour was finished. In addition, former lead guitarist Rob Caggiano has returned to the band as well.
