Review: Megadeth at their most compromising but still brilliant stuff!! / The calm before the s***storm!! - Hardcore thrash and Megadeth fans might grimace at the very uttering of the title of this album, as although this isn't their first foray out of the thrash spectrum ('Countdown' and 'Youthanasia' pretty much went down this road too) it was probably the most radio - friendly yet of their albums and, as with Metallica's 'Black Album' cost Megadeth as much old fans as it did recruit new ones. This is Megadeth and their most stripped down and, you can almost say most simple, well, as simple as Megadeth can get I suppose - there's nothing here that bothers the bonkers, technical speed metal soloing or riffage of 'Hangar 18' on 'Rust In Piece' for example. But what there is, is a collection of very good songs and that's how in my opinion it should be judged. 'Trust,' 'Almost Honest,' ' Use the Man,' 'She Wolf,' still pop up occasionally on their live setlist and with good reason - they are kick ass songs. There are many other highlights here including the odd foray back to their thrash roots. Mustaine sings more than he sneers on this album as well. The Pros very much outweigh the Cons and is a much stronger album than 'Youthanasia' and Megadeth's last really great album until 'Endgame.' A good starting point for anyone new to Megadeth or thrash / metal in general as well. A great album if you listen to it on its without comparing to previous efforts. Narrow minded metal heads : Avoid! Fans of great rock / metal music : Apply!
Review: Good value great band - Not their best album.There are a few great songs.But it's still megadeth, which are brilliant.

Not their best album.There are a few great songs.But it's still megadeth, which are brilliant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine piece of work !
*by M***H on 1 December 2020*

Not as fast as previous Megadeth albums, but certainly my favourite style of production. Fitting follow up to the direction of Youthanasia (similar sort of production).
