It is the band's the first album with ex-[[Armored Saint]] vocalist [[John Bush (singer)|John Bush]], and also their last studio album to date with guitarist [[Dan Spitz]]. The band and [[Dave Jerden]] produced the album, which includes the singles, [[Only (Anthrax song)|"Only" ]],"[[Black Lodge]]", "Room for One More" and "Hy Pro Glo". This album marked a change in the sound of the band, mixing the old [[thrash metal]] with new [[grunge]] references (Dave Jerden was the producer of [[Alice in Chains]]) and the album got Anthrax's highest ever chart position, debuting at #7 on the [[Billboard 200]] charts, with "Only" and "Room For One More" in particular becoming major rock radio hits at their time. ''Sound of White Noise'' was certified gold by the RIAA. Anthrax also contributed a song from these sessions called "Poison My Eyes" 7:05 to the [[Last Action Hero]] soundtrack. The title "C<sub>11</sub>H<sub>17</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S Na" is the [[chemical formula]] for [[Sodium thiopental|sodium pentathol]]. The closing of the album, which appears at the end of the song "This Is Not an Exit" includes a sample from the 1991 movie [[My Girl (film)|"My Girl"]]. A [[music video]] was produced for "Black Lodge", which features [[Jenna Elfman]] as the lead role in one of her first film appearances. The ''Black Lodge'' is a fictional place from the television series ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', which ''Twin Peaks'''s [[Film score|score]] conductor [[Angelo Badalamenti]] helped write. This was released on LP in Europe (Catalog Number 7559-61430-1). The song "Black Lodge" was omitted from this vinyl release due to time. ==Track listing== #"Potter's Field" ([[Frank Bello]], [[Charlie Benante]], [[John Bush (singer)|John Bush]], [[Scott Ian]]) – 5:00 #[[Only (Anthrax song)|"Only" ]], (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 4:56 #"Room for One More" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 4:54 #"Packaged Rebellion" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 6:18 #"Hy Pro Glo" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 4:30 #"Invisible" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 6:09 #"1000 Points of Hate" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 5:00 #"Black Lodge" ([[Angelo Badalamenti]], Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 5:22 #"[[Sodium thiopental|C<sub>11</sub>H<sub>17</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S Na]]" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 4:24 #"Burst" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 3:35 #"This Is Not an Exit" (Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 6:49 ===Bonus tracks (2001 remaster)=== #<li value=12>"Auf Wiedersehen" ([[Rick Nielsen]], [[Tom Petersson]]) – 3:33 #*[[Cheap Trick]] cover #"Cowboy Song" ([[Phil Lynott]], [[Brian Downey (drummer)|Brian Downey]]) – 5:06 #*[[Thin Lizzy]] cover #"London" ([[Morrisey]], [[Johnny Marr]]) – 2:54 #*[[The Smiths]] cover #"Black Lodge" (Strings Mix) (Badalamenti, Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian) – 5:21 ===Bonus CD (Japanese edition)=== #"Noisegate" – 4:25 #"Cowboy Song" (Lynott, Downey) – 5:06 #*[[Thin Lizzy]] cover #"Auf Wiedersehen" (Nielsen, Petersson) – 3:33 #*[[Cheap Trick]] cover #"Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" ([[Michael Diamond]], Matt Dike, [[Adam Horovitz]], [[John King]], [[Mike Simpson]], [[Adam Yauch]]) – 3:10 #*[[Beastie Boys]] cover ==Personnel== *[[John Bush (singer)|John Bush]] – [[Singer|Lead Vocals]] *[[Dan Spitz]] – [[Lead guitar|Lead Guitar]] *[[Scott Ian]] – [[Rhythm guitar|Rhythm Guitar]], Lead Guitar on "Burst", Lead Guitar and [[Harmony]] [[Guitar]] on "Black Lodge" and "Packaged Rebellion", [[Bass guitar|Six string Bass]], Backing Vocals *[[Frank Bello]] – [[Bass Guitar]], Backing Vocals *[[Charlie Benante]] – [[drum kit|Drums]], [[Harmony]] [[Guitar]] on "Black Lodge" {{Anthrax}} [[Category:Anthrax albums]] [[Category:1993 albums]] [[Category:Albums produced by Dave Jerden]] [[de:Sound of White Noise]] [[it:Sound of White Noise]] [[pl:Sound of White Noise]] [[pt:Sound of White Noise]] [[fi:Sound of White Noise]]
