}} ''State of Euphoria'' is the fourth studio album by the American thrash metal band Anthrax. It was released on September 19, 1988 through Megaforce/Island Records. ==Album information== The album was produced by Anthrax and Mark Dodson, with Alex Perialas engineering. The album reached No. 30 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart in late 1988 and was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 8, 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= RIAA Gold and Platinum Search Results )〕 The songs "Who Cares Wins", dealing with the plight of the homeless, and "Antisocial" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. The song "Misery Loves Company" is based on the Stephen King novel ''Misery'', while "Now It's Dark" was inspired by the David Lynch film ''Blue Velvet'', specifically the behavior of the sexually depraved, self-asphyxiating, murderous sociopath Frank Booth, as played by Dennis Hopper. The song was years later made into simlish for the radio on the ''The Sims'' PC game. The song "Make Me Laugh" is critical of Televangelism, specifically of Jim and Tammy Fae Bakker, a popular target of thrash metal bands of that period. The song specifically mentioned minutiae such as the air-conditioned doghouse and Christian amusement park. The majority of the album's music was composed by drummer Charlie Benante while lyrics were composed by rhythm guitarist Scott Ian. The back cover of the album contains a parody picture of the band drawn by Mort Drucker, a caricaturist best known for his artwork in the magazine ''Mad''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「State of Euphoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
