Now this is a what metal album should be: aggressive, blisteringly fast, and loud as hell. I'm not kidding when I say that this is Megadeth's second best album ever (nothing could ever touch "Rust In Peace"). "Megadave" Mustaine has aged really well, which is to say that he's older, more pissed off than ever before, and channeling all that negative energy into some brilliant thrash metal. Needless to say, it is a step above that which was recently released by another major metal band whose name also begins with "M".
Suggested sample track: "Head Crusher"
Recommendation: download. Crank up on loudest speakers available (the recording is stereotypically loud and compressed, so no point in going hi-fi). Bang head furiously until desired effect is achieved.
