Editing Sound of White Noise (section)

==Overview==
The album, produced by the band and Dave Jerden, includes the singles "[[Only (Anthrax song)|Only]]", "Room for One More", "[[Black and White Lodges#"Black Lodge" (song)|Black Lodge]]" and "Hy Pro Glo". This album marked a significant revision in the band's sound, with the departure of lead vocalist [[Joey Belladonna]] and the introduction of [[grunge]] influences. Jerden was known for producing the likes of [[Alice in Chains]] and [[Jane's Addiction]].

With ''Sound of White Noise'', Anthrax moved away from the rapid-fire [[thrash metal]] that had defined their earlier output. Their new sound drew on the more straightforward style of Armored Saint (Bush co-wrote all the songs) and often emphasized more melodic songwriting. ''White Noise'' continued the trend started on 1990's ''[[Persistence of Time]]'' of abandoning the humor of Anthrax's 1980s albums in favor of a more serious or earnest tone. Songs like the walloping "Only" and stuttering, stop-start dynamics of "Hy Pro Glo" maintained a level of aggression on par with anything else the band recorded, but in a different [[alternative metal]] style. Other songs found Anthrax exploring new territory, like the mid-tempo "Room for One More", and the atmospheric "Black Lodge" (inspired by the ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' TV series and featuring keyboardist [[Angelo Badalamenti]]). Bush's lower-pitched, darker vocal style also was a drastic change from Belladona's. During the recording of the album, the band also produced the songs "Poison My Eyes" and a cover of the Smiths song "London" (both would be featured on the soundtracks to the movies ''[[Last Action Hero]]'' and ''[[Airheads]]'', respectively).
