i like the instruments but i dont like his voice leg bounce heaven
Chun-chun-chun-chunnnnnng! For an hour. No.
Guitar work on this record is incredible!! 4/5
Another solid and pinnacle metal album Huge hits and huge licks. Dave Mustaine’s post Metallica project east triumph and this album is one of his best 4.5
Yep, classic Dave.
One of my all time favorite albums. These songs are incredibly tight and inspiringly composed. So complex and technical - fantastic!
I was a fan of metal in the 70s then got more interested in other things. Hadn't listened to any metal that came out post-1980, until this site. Had Metallica and Slayer earlier, so I was glad to see this come up. Disappointed. Vocals sounded like a million shitty 70s bands.
supaboring
Mon album préféré jusqu'ici. Je vais le voir au Hellfest !!! Tornado of souls <3 + Le Dave Mustaine des 90's 🤌🥵
Pas trop mon truc, mais en vrai c'était bien. J'ai exagéré.
Album shreds start to finish. Marty Friedman kills it.
Metal at it‘s best…but not kind of music!
Rusty metal
RIFFAGE! RIFFAGE! RIFFAGE! You can tell why this is the blueprint for so many metal bands. Lotsa tempo and key changes. Sledgehammer rhythm. Awesome solos. Would I want to listen to Mustaine and crew every day? Probably not. Is this classic peel-your-face-off evolution of Iron Maiden? You betcha. Unexpected banger: Poison Was The Cure/Tornado of Souls.
Toi aggressive for my liking but had some good old school metal vibes
Some nice sounds but save yourself some cash n play an old Rainbow album at 45rpm. Same result
Fit perfectly
Solid trash
Lekker album, geen slechte nummers, veel goede.
I don't think I like it
Enjoyed this. Very energetic way to start the day, loved the heavy guitar and drums. My Creation was my favorite from the album, though pretty short. Overall great album.
I quite liked this album, it was very heavy metal, w8th many Electric guitar solos, 'violent' sounding drums which I found nice to listen to. The singer in the band (who is an ex metallica member) I feel has a very unique voice, which I find quite important when distinguishing different vocalists.
Pretty good album - How many Megadeth albums are on this list, though? 4/5
The vocals ruin it but I’ll give it 2 ⭐️ because the music is good for what it is.
Would be higher rated if Dave’s voice didn’t bug me so much
Finally, A good metal album. Not a cube star due the Dave's whiny voice and the fact that this isn't the original non remixed version.
This album is kind of just noise to me, with no individual standouts, yet it is a sound I really enjoy and would choose to play again. It isn’t my favorite metal, nor the most memorable, but it is solid.
Amazing, one of my faves
what a banger right after metallica. to be fair, it does sound like metallica, but dialed up to 15. instrumentals and solos are insane, not a big fan of vocals, but they are a-okay. just knockout good ol metal that sounds fresh, technical and interesting. special shoutout to hangar 18, this song is crazy Significant 29/79 Liked 14/79 Added 4/79 YYY
Love this album. Will I listen to again: 100%
Classicness
I wouldn't call myself a fan of metal but goddamn
guitarras e tals
Of the big 4, my favorite was always Slayer. And I usually think of Megadeth as the scrappy little brother due to Dave's relationship with Metallica. Which is all to say that while I like Megadeth okay, they are not my favorite. This record slaps though. It's a little cheesy, but that's more age than anything. The vocal is still a whiny mess.
Not a huge fan of 80s/90s metal but this is a very solid album.
Cool album art. I got bored after track 3 for some reason. Will take the word of the Wikipedia article and associated references as being an important album for thrash metal. Overall: 4/10
While I can tolerate some off-the-wall vocals (my favorite singer might be Peter Hammill from Van der Graaf Generator), Dave Mustaine's vocals are absolutely atrocious. However, all the music is excellently performed and recorded.
Not even that heavy, pussies. Actually, was a good energy for the morning at work
Good clean fat riffage, perfect juice up tunes.
The difference between Metallica and Megadeth is their methods of constructing songs. ‘Tallica have very carefully constructed songs that rise naturally and make for a really satisfying listen in the same way that a well built pop song does. Megadeth smash a load of great fucking riffs together and then spend half the song soloing over them. There are benefits to each method. I personally prefer Metallica for that itch scratching effect, but sometimes you need to listen to something that makes you want to run five miles, and kick every cop you see on the way
There's something about five-minute thrash burners; No one can accuse Megadeth of sneaking up. Rust is tighter thematically than Peace, has the same relentless forward momentum. Drum tone gets plenty of space near the end, which is a win for every genre.
I hate this kind of music. But, the playing is very precise, which isn’t easy to do at these tempos. 2.6
I mean, sure. If you're into that sort of thing. 2.4
It was metal
CD
Really? 1001 best albums and then this 1.000.000.0001th best album in the world? Fortunately Narah Fateh Ali Khan, Sparks and Guided by Voices on my 'to listen to' list.
Great
Soft spot for Dave's lads here, wasn't sure the whole album would be as good as the main singles but it's close
Heavy metal fan and can cope with the non thrash Metallica era. But I don't get this ...
really good
This is really not for me. I can recognize the considerable talent of the band members (except for maybe the vocalist), but the whole thing feels like a dick waggling contest between four men who are desperately cosplaying as masculine badasses. And the longer it went on, the more I cringed and the more I wanted it to stop. I’ve written about this before, but there is something I find so off putting about music that is trying to make you think that they are so hardcore. It feels so… dorky. Take, for example, the following lyrics from “Take No Prisoners”: “Got one chance, infiltrate them Get it right, terminate them The Panzers will, permeate them Break their pride, denigrate them.” These lyrics sound awesome if you’re in middle school. But I’m not in middle school. And neither are they.
Plain and simple. This album fucks. I'm not the biggest fan of the vocalist though it's certainly not a turn off, just minor points off. Start to finish the album rocks at 11.
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah I liked this one, amazing vocal and riffs Favourite song: Track 9 - Rust in peace…Polaris
Didn’t quite do it for me, felt like it was lacking an edge 5/10
Bought an old copy of The Magic Roundabout board game to this album. Pretty radical.
gubica 🤘

Fir what it is
My first ever listen. This is amazing! Consider me a fan!
Not my kind of music, but some of it is fine.
Not my genre. I can see how it is important though.
Don't tell me. Fourth studio album? Damn! I am good. I like the album cover. And as far as heavy metal goes, it's pretty decent.
Hard and fast, and Dave Mustaine's voice does work for me. Unfortunately, the songs are generally just OK... Hangar 18 and Tornado of Souls are the only tracks that stand out.. .though I also like the speed of Poison Was the Cure.
Nakon prvog slušanja se čini jednolično, ali HC. Dobar album za nabrijati se.
ROCK THE FUCK ON OUGH
tremendo opener rust in peace buen metal 5 estrellas
Some good, some boring
Not really my style. Some of it is fun.
“Y’all better hurry up and finish the album before your mom gets here to pick you up.” — overheard from the engineer’s booth at guitar center during the making of this record. It’s fine. Competent. 2/5
already heard but its alright
Meh!
Geiler Thrash.
"Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall" I'm slowly realizing that I enjoy metal music a lot more than I let on (both to myself and to others). In my mind, megadeth was this death metal band with incomprehensible screams and muddled guitar riffs played over crazy time signature drums. In actuality, it's (metal is) just a step up from hard rock music, on the level of metallica. There were a bunch of cool musical ideas in this album, particularly in the form of the underlying guitar/bass riff that repeats. I think I would've preferred the vocals to be a little bit harsher, but I suppose that's part of the appeal of this "level" of metal music. Cool stuff, especially T1-"Holy Wars..." and T7 "Tornado of Souls" (playlist track). 3/5
too rowdy for me
The album cover fucks! Severely! The extent of my knowledge of metal is Enter Sandman tbh so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is pretty fuckin sick. Banger after banger, I think I'll add this to my general rotation.
Favorite songs: Holy Wars The album was pretty standard metal. It was good to listen the whole album.
Again. Just no.
not my thing
Surprisingly good and not too cheesy
Exactly how you think it will sound, pretty good for the genre
I'm not a big metal head, but Megadeth is pretty great. I'd put them up there with Metallica. This album is a 40-minute gut punch.
AMAZING. so fun to listen to.
Wow. This was…something. I’m not sure what, but it sure was. Not for me, but I can see the appeal. I’m hoping this is the only Megadeath album I’ll need to hear, but I fear not.
THE WARHEADS WILL ALL RUST IN PEACE this is the only Megadeth album I really like
Finally some Metal!!! Liked most of it. The lyrics are so cheesy but it adds to the charm. Song titles are also hilariously metal
I recognize the shredding talent, but good lord I just can’t. At least not alone in my house. I could see this being fun live.
Never thought I’d like more thrash metal than Metallica, but this is great. The vocals get a little annoying but so much fun to listen to and even more fun to notice their technical skill.
Awesome album. Megadeth was always hit or miss for me, but then they crushed it when I saw them live. So I'm forever biased. The guitar and drum work are just so fun to listen to throughout the album. It feels like grooves and metal shouldn't go together, but that's the exact feeling I got each track. That's just what happens when the instrumentals are so tight. Favorite track: Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
Not just noise. I was not really into metal especially trash. I like Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath but this… is just so much more with those riffs, this voice. I must remember Mustaine as one of the best guitarist I’ve heard. The cover is also really beautiful. Nice discovery
I think this barely squeaks out a 4. I found the songwriting to be actually quite good, including the lyrics which is weird to say about an 80's metal record. The guitar solos are AWESOME and the guitar work in general is really inventive and TIGHT TIGHT. The vocal delivery is not my favourite, but I enjoyed this a bit more than I typically do Metallica releases. I think it's possible I wouldn't like anything else from Megadeth but this one really did it for me.
Well this was definitely noise! And loud! Not totally sure if i’d consider it influential? Maybe a template of what to stray away from? Not quite sure!
This is not my jam but wasn't nearly as bad to revisit as I'd feared. For one, they're not Metallica and for that we can be grateful - I've of course always lumped them together (and thrown them away) as Dave Mustaine was a former member, but this has far more interesting melodic turns for me. Seems odd to say about a thrash metal album but hey that's why we're doing this. I don't like the vocals - surprise surprise - but he's far more palatable than James Hetfield's ridiculous growl-bark-in-E-minor. Essentially he's easier to ignore; maybe some of that is how he's mixed - just a bit lower in the mix, giving the music more power. Obviously the musicianship is quite incredible. Anyways even though I'm not gonna be reaching for it anytime soon, I have to admit I liked it more than I'd expected (especially with how low I view Dave Mustaine as a human). 5/10 3 stars.
Holy Wars is one of the iconic guitar riffs. Poison Was The Cure has a cool opening bass line. Tornado Of Souls is killer. If I am in a heavy metal mood, this album should be in rotation.
Bad
- Never listened to Megadeth before - Didn't think I'd like it but I loved it - Another album that makes me glad that I'm using this website, would've never listened to this otherwise - Will need to listen to the rest of their discog and other similar stuff - Fav songs: Hangar 18, Holy Wars, Rust in Peace
As with all Megadeth albums, the guitar work is great but it’s just not really my vibe. Dave’s voice isn’t actually too annoying on this one either
This brand of speed/thrash I think I could like more if I spend more time listening to it. But the vocal is the weakest point. Plus kind of cringey D&D style lyrics I have somehow outgrown. But Tornado of Souls totally rocks. Fell in love with the guitar solo at first listen and I had to rewind to listen to again. This has not happened to me for a while.
Knew this wasn’t for me when I looked at the track listing to see how long there was left to go and discovered I was only on track 2. Dave Mustaine wanted to be harder and faster than Metallica and he succeeded. I prefer something a bit more melodic myself. They’re a tight unit though so I’ll give them that
I'd have a better chance at enjoying this if I listened to one song instead of 9. Got worse the longer it went
If I had to listen to Megadeth I suppose I would want to listen to this album. But it still was terrible. 1.5/5
this really shreds
Прва песна топ
Genres: Thrash metal Formed: L.A., U.S. in 1983 Run time: 13 songs, 57 min, 20 sec The fourth studio album by the American thrash metal band. Spotify: Least popular song: 2.1M Most popular song: almost 130M plays. The subject matter of the lyrics is quite heavy and dark: war, religion, control and aliens. They are, however, well written and imaginative. Musically, it is much heavier than the Rock music I enjoy. Although it is not my taste, I can appreciate the quality of the album, hence 4*. Listen Again?: No My Rating: ****
It's not what I usually listen to but it does make you feel a little cool when you listen to it while doing ordinary things. I quite liked Lucretia and Take No Prisoners in particular.
Bueno, por el guitarreo ... como se acompañan y tal... Pero me ha gustado más la siguiente canción que me ha puesto Deezer después de terminar el disco (Voice of the Soul · Death)
If you're looking for an album that's all about hanging and banging to killer guitar riffs, "Rust In Peace" by Megadeth is your ticket! "Rust In Peace" isn't just music – it's a workout for your senses. Imagine yourself in a gym, pumping iron with the most adrenaline-pumping tunes blasting through your headphones – that's the kind of energy we're talking about here. The killer guitar riffs on this album are like sonic grenades exploding in your ears. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman tag-team their axes, delivering a barrage of intense, mind-bending solos that will leave your air guitar skills in awe. "Hangar 18" is a prime example of this shredding goodness that demands to be cranked up to 11. "Rust In Peace" stands as a testament to the power of genuine metal. With its killer guitar riffs, workout music vibes, and the feeling of early '90s high school football, this album is a sonic time machine that captures the essence of a bygone era.
Shreds 🤘
Here we go again with what literally sounds like vocals by The Crypt Keeper. Other than that, it's actually kinda good.
I thought this was just ok. I listened to it loud.
I could stand one song, utterly horrible.
Pretty cool
The songs kind of all sounded similar.
I tried. I did. I even like an occasional thrash metal song. But not often and not more than one.
Great guitars, ok vocals. Good overall.
idk
Hanger 18 baby B^)
Most enjoyable metal album I’ve heard in awhile. Some cool stuff here.
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (1) 2 - Rust In Peace - Polaris (9) 3 - Poison Was the Cure (5)
Pretty great guitar throughout, definitely my favorite type in the 'metal' arena
Surprisingly delicate in places, but mostly like being plugged into the mains.
I wasn't in the mood for this when it came up, but hoo boy, is this great. A wickedly good thrash album by Megadeath, with searing guitars and a heavy as hell rhythm section. It's a really rich, weighty sound. And I have to give credit to Dave Mustaine and Mike Clink for really knowing how to put together a cohesive album that feels carefully crafted without sounding over-produced. The one weak point I would mention is Mustaine's vocals, which are somewhat uneven across the board. Fave Songs: Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, Rust in Peace... Polaris, Hangar 18, Take No Prisoners, Poison Was the Cure
best mixed megadeth album by far, but like a lot of their albums is just a little too silly to take the subject matter seriously somtimes
Couldn’t finish it, noisy and boring at the same time
just not my genre. Didn't think that it was bad neither did I love it so... 3
Another one. Same thoughts as maiden. Great riffs but shit singer. Amd I like off beat singers. People who aren't the norm is my jam but no Thanks. Oldschoolers you hit it but not for me 2*
Hell no!
I just do not like Dave mustaine. I like some Megadeth music but I always despised his singing
For metal to work for me, I think I need it to be quite... outstanding. And this album wasn't that for me. It's not enough to just dish out lots of notes in fast order to get my blood pumping. It should have nothing to do with the music, but it might also get dragged down by my view of Dave Mustaine as a whiny child about getting kicked out of Metallica for a being a drunk and general douche.
I mean it's a decent thrash album. I wouldn't recommend it over Metallica from the same era though. Not quite a four but a very strong 3 star from me. If you enjoy thrash it is worth a shot.
This was surprisingly incredible. I just avoided this kind of thing when I was younger because I heard enough bad examples of it to give up. This thing really hit me though. Guitar work is insane and the lyrics and singing, while dated and cringy in some places, were powerful and interesting for the most part. Really surprised myself to give this 5 stars but here we are.
-4
Run of the mill Metallica B-Sides
This is the kind of metal I can get into, though the tracks did feel a little same-y toward the end of the album
This album's reputation is well deserved.
I’m so torn.On one hand this album has some of the best metal songs of all time.But also mustaines vocals are so bad and there’s large parts of the album of uninteresting guitar noodling.Marty friedmans solos can be godlike but can also be really boring sometimes.Also I don’t like dawn patrol at all.I’ll give it a five because I’m nice.
A top genre album - definitely one of the trash metal classics - immediately hit me even if it was actually the first time I sat down and listened to it end to end. Maybe not as strong as Reign in Blood or Master of Puppets and it does kind of taper towards the end.
Only 1 star off bc I'm not super into metal (yet). This was really fun. The lyrics sounded kinda stupid sometimes, but other times they were so edgy they looped back or actually good. The instrumentals were still way better than any of that, consistently impressive. Track 7 is the best.
Best Song: Hangar 18. This song was in either a Guitar Hero or Rock Band, and the memories of being a pretend musician really amplifies the nostalgia. I might as well have written this song myself. Worst Song: Dawn Patrol. Who asked for this weirdly whispered vocal fry? Overall: A totally mediocre metal album whose listening experience was greatly influenced by my having just finished listening to Napalm Death. Sits firmly on the "boring" shelf of classic metal.
Cutting edge metal for the time. Ages well
Not bad, just not my thing
I've never been a big fan of heavy metal, especially some of the recommendations for it I've gotten here, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. I loved the melodies, voice inflictions, vocals, lyrics, and the sudden changes in pace of the songs. The longer songs were some of my favorites, too, which is not usually the case. Amazing album.
I have quite a lot to say about this album, especially as a young and easily impressionable person I was listening to thrash metal (as a way to be independent, "free-thinking" soul). As a Thrash fan, I was listening to bands like Metallica and Slayer, so the rules said I had to hate the other two Anthrax and Megadeth. Who came up with those rules, I have no idea, but my group of friends was really "true" in this sense. Finally, after some growing up I did, the song "Hangar 18" completely changed my opinion about Megadeth. One thing being constant, I still despised Mustaine's voice and vocal, but I finally could appreciate his song writing skills. Awesome solos, riffs and speed, this song is definitely up there on the 80s/90s thrash pantheon. The rest of the album is sometimes good, sometimes bad, so I wouldn't feel comfortable giving it a highest praise, but for this single song, and massive amount of nostalgia that goes with it, I will give it 4 stars. I can't listen to this genre anymore now, but few exceptions like this are always welcome.
Mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso. Non sono un ascoltatore di metal ma questo album devo dire che potrei riascoltarlo, quando ho voglia di qualcosa di pesante. Detto questo, rimane un genere che non mi garba
Absolutely nothing wrong with thrash metal you can dance to. Reminded me of being a teenager in mostly good ways. Fun nostalgic listen.
Well they work Hard and I can not say its bad but it is not my cup of tee.
3/5. Honestly, not as enjoyable as their first. It’s got some great songs but as an album, it doesn’t flow that nicely. The guitar is fantastic, don’t get me wrong, but the songs themselves could use some work. Still rocks hard.
Kinda sounded like one 45 minute-long song, but I got through it. Now, I would probably never play any Megadeath on purpose in my car, but if I had a friend who was like a die-hard metal fan and was into this, I wouldn't ask him (no girl is listening to this shit) to turn it off! It has a time and place. Unfortunately for them, it will likely never be the time nor place when I'm on aux.
"we've got Metallica at home"
Jävla kingalbum
Classic metal, some lovely guitar wankery
Hanger 18 is amazing. This is metal I can get behind, not offputting at all
I was never into this style of metal, it always sounded cheap and ridiculous to me. This album however may be the best thing I've ever heard that sounds like this. I enjoyed a few songs, didn't skip any, it never annoyed me, didn't feel redundant, the band sounds skilled. I still don't like this music, but I can definitely hear that Rust In Peace is at the top of its game.
This is not at all my type of music and I wasn't really looking forward to listening to it. Honestly though, it was better than I expected. It's still not really my music and I don't see myself listening to it again, but the band is clearly super talented and the guitars and drums are pretty impressive throughout. Just not really aligned with what I like, but I respect it. Favorite song: Rust in Peace...Polaris (Honestly they all kind of sound pretty similar to me, this is the last song on the album and it closed things out strong)
I have gotten a bunch of metal albums so far and it's my 3rd lowest rated genre so I haven't had a good track record with them. I've heard of the band before and given the description I was expecting something very different than what I got. It was great fun. Not something I'd listen to all that often but it was really enjoyable. Shame about how the album cover is absolute dogshit. 4.5/5
it was fine 2/5
It's good. Better than most thrash metal. But even the hits don't grab me. I can list 20 Metallica songs I would rather hear and at least a few Megadeth songs as well, but that's the thing with Megadeth: a lot of their stuff is good but not great. A lot of their stuff doesn't grab you. It just sounds good, not great. 4 stars.
Strap in, hold tight and make sure your medical insurance is current. This is fast tempo stuff. Not for the faint-hearted. No sugar required.
This was just painful to listen to. Not my jam. All songs sounded exactly the same and why did they all have to be so long??
J'avais la tête ailleurs, et c'est tant mieux
allez petite fleur en vrai c'était pas entièrement inécoutable
Honestly, I don't know what to think about this album. It has its moments, and it has the original taste, but I think there is not so high production value, like e.g. Metallica, etc.
10/10 gracias por poner este disco estuvo D+
3.5/5
Good
Rust In Peace represents the crossing point of Metallica's decline of quality music and Megadeth's rising pace of good thrash metal. I know I'm glad Dave Mustaine got fired, it gave him the opportunity to make this. 4/5.
3.5
1. Got tired of it while still on the second song.
YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!!! HERE WE GO!!! Almost as good as my morning coffee! I feel like this will get old really fast but right now it's fantastic!! The singing is unnecessary! It's growing on me, starting to enjoy the singing
Really liked the guitar and solos on Hangar 18. Easily my favourite track of the bunch and made listening to this album worthwhile. Politically infused lyrics too... "I've seen too much, I know too much" Overall as an album, it had that standard heavy metal sound. Maybe that comment is a reflection on how little I listen to heavy metal. Aside form Hangar18, nothing really distinguished the album from being a generic heavy album. I really like the political lyrics and album cover though. Looking through their discography, their album art is quite fascinating. Musicwise, I think I'd need to listen to more heavy metal (and more of this album) to fully 'get' it. Based on what I heard today, it was alright.
Sounds very aged but hey it was listenable.
Not really my thing but enjoyed it more than I expected.
Certainly not one for everyone but a great soundtrack to a school shooting for sure
Some bangers, but too many widdles
Tellement pas mon truc
Honestly surprisingly good metal record. Love the chunky guitar riffs and insane solos. Vocals are not my favorite though.
Fuck yeah, sick cunt
I like it
Not totally my bag but there’s some great guitar work in here and definitely better than I expected
Pas por moi
I liked this far more than expected. Bands like Megadeth are right on the edge of what I enjoy; I love hard rock (AC/DC is one of my favorite bands) and love me some quality guitar playing, but metal often crosses the line from enjoyable badassery to unpleasant dissonance with grating vocals closer to growling or screaming than singing. Knowing Megadeth by reputation only (and the odd album cover), I fully expected "Rust in Peace" to fall into the latter group, but I was pleased to discover that it just squeaked in on the right side of that line. I found Marty Friedman's guitar solos particularly enjoyable (especially the ones on "Poison was the Cure" and "Tornado of Souls"). That dude can fucking shred. All told, this was precisely the kind of pleasant surprise I always hope to discover when listening to my album of the day. 🤘🤘
I started listening to Megadeth a few years ago when I rediscovered metal, and I'm glad I did. They're fast, their loud, their lyrics are poignant, and it's entertaining as hell...let's also not forget about Eddie. I really need to sit down & have a Megadeth marathon because this band is that good
Probably my absolute favourite Megadeth album. Solid from start to finish.
I feel empty. This band is so dumb.
Haven't listened to this all the way through in years. Expected to give a 4 (or higher), but it wasn't as great as I remember. 1 - bad 2 - average 3 - good 4 - great 5 - outstanding
Really good fun! Enjoyed the riffing, thought it lost a bit of steam as it went on but I'd be happy hearing any of these at a seedy dive. Three and a half Fave track: Hangar 18
My first exploration into thrash metal or anything kind of resembling this side of the rock genre. For some reason in my head it never seemed that accessible for a newcomer but I got pretty into this. Some really fun listening and honestly really good songwriting. Left me curious to check out more of the band and style - 4 stars. Fave track: Holy Wars…The Punishment Due
Great technical playing and really funny
I was expecting this to be a lot worse than what it was. It was not screaming music in which I couldn't understand it. It was heavy metal, a little heavier than Metallica. I don't think I would listen to it again though.
Very sonically interesting, tho it gets maybe too cliche-macho-metal for my in some places for my tastes. The second side really picks it up tho, and even gets a bit funky
I think I'm always surprised by how clean and smooth so many of the 90's metal records are. I've never listened to Megadeath before, but I came away from this album very impressed. Really thumpy, head-banging tunes. Love how instrumental it is. Great gym music.
A solid metal album, great
Surprised by how much I liked this, despite the guitar wankery
genuinely proper guitars and instrumentation - vocals lack a bit of oopmph for me
Kinda of fun metal, don't mind when it's like this, but it's still in "don't mind" rather than "enjoy"
>>>>>>>>Master of puppets
First of all, there’s something about this album cover that I both love and hate. Like it’s a tacky 80s metal cover but also kinda cool. Regardless, the album is good, fun metal that probably isn’t technically as good as Metallica but is still enjoyable to listen to. It’s still not my favorite genre ever but it was still a nice 40 minutes while I played far cry. Definitely a low 4
I love this album, very biased, the only knock I have on it are the shorter songs (interludes?) are a bit tough to listen to, but still a favorite that gets played frequently.
i didn’t listen to this because i’m confident it’s going to be shit
I enjoyed this record far more than I thought I would. I prefer the slower, more melodic sections, but some of the foot to the pedal stuff is highly engaging. I don’t know if I’d listen to it again, but the generator has given me Metallica and Megadeth in my first 30 selections, both albums I would never have listened to by choice, and I’ve enjoyed both.
I didn't think I was going to like this one, but I gave it a listen. 40 minutes later... It turns out I was right. I didn't get anything out of it. I was wishing I had it on a 78 turntable so it would end sooner. Next album please.
After a long long day I was exhausted and not really feeling like thrashing. Decided to go for a run and used this album as a soundtrack. I realized pretty much right away that I had to know what it sounded like in all its glory. Ended up finishing my run early to listen in HiFi on the speakers. In a single sentence: this album is like if Rush made a heavy metal album. I think my only issue with the album is that I could take or leave Dave's vocals in some songs. Sometimes he sounds a little like Layne Staley, other times it's a little TOO "Rock God"-y. But then again, if I just think about it from a more tongue-in-cheek perspective I can just kinda laugh with him. By the time we got past "Five Magics" to "Dawn Patrol" I realized this dude is kinda silly. Anyway I'm going to just paste the listening notes I jotted down. 4/5 btw. "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" this track is epic. I have no idea how to otherwise describe it. Political. The SHRED. "Hangar 18" 2.5 minutes of soloing and instrumentals. I have nothing more to say other than aliens are real and shredding is aliens. "Take No Prisoners" I got goosebumps from this intro riff. THE BASS SOLO AT AROUND 1:45 COME ON YES. Take no prisoners, take no shit. Hell yes, brother. "Five Magics" mysterious Dungeons & Dragons bass solo. Pretty sure they start playing in 5/4 at one point. 5 magics / 4 shreds. Nothing but devil's horns on this outro guitar solo holy COW. "Poison Was the Cure" quick and dirty. "Lucretia" has a sick nasty intro. Rhythmically jazzy. I love that the chorus is just a banger of a riff. Holy cow another WILD solo. Dude HOW!? "Tornado of Souls" heavy metal breakup song. This solo wow. WOW. WOW!!! THE FRETBOARD IS ON FIRE. I AM ON FIRE. MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE. "Dawn Patrol" oh yeah here we go. This bass intro reminds me of DOOM. "Rust in Peace...Polaris" drum solo intro was perfect. The second half of this song. God damn. POLARISSSSSSSS. My hair is burning off, my face is melting, I am riding a nuclear bomb into the ground and laughing all the way.
I’m not a big metal guy, but I was jammin
🤘🗿🤘
Instant 5!!! This is the album that got me into metal. I finally got what everyone was talking about. It's so pleasing, it's so hilarious, it's so over the top, it's amazing. Fun metal. Fun like a haunted house pinball machine. Crazy that it was made by such a troubled person. It’s really creative. People talk endlessly about the guitar solos but it’s really the songwriting and arrangements that feel inventive to me. 5 stars because if rocked my world when I first listened to it last year. 5/5
i ❤️ degameth
It's pretty cool. It's just not quite my vibe, which is odd as I do like Disturbed. I don't like the guy's voice too much and a lot of the tracks seem too similar. Standout Track: Dawn Patrol
Me niego a esuchar megadeth de nuevo
Fajne
YES. MORE. \m/
From start to finish, Rust in Peace is just an exercise in how pulverizing, hard-hitting, breakneck and relentless one of the big 4 of thrash metal can get. Approaching a sweet spot at forty minutes, it also never overstays its welcome and can be a welcome respite from all the other ponderous metal records of the time. Classic thrash, classic Megadeth, classic album.
Great guitar riffs. Very great rock album
Marty Friedman is an absolute dynamo. A sterling guitarist who has magical fingers. He's the strength of this album. There's something about Dave Mustaine that really bothers me. He seems really toxic and his voice grates on me. Some great songs but too much filler.
Quintessential Metal !
marty friedman five star
Megadeath was a mega no
In my opinion this is Megadeths best album.
As good as thrash metal is going to get.
Not worth the time.
James Hetfield is a singer who plays guitar. Dave Mustaine is a guitarist who sings.
Thrash Metal is sometimes almost comical to me. This is pretty Thrash Metal. Obviously some great technique and playing on this album but it's like the cotton candy of metal. Quickly melts after consumption and just a transient experience.
Listen
Ears are tired after this one.
So bad. 1/10
Mis gibi albüm. Farklı tiplerde metal dinledikçe önyargılarım gittikçe kırılıyor galiba. Gerçekten tam murderous rampage yapmalık müzik. Otobanda ölümüne gazlamalık da olabilir. Bazı yerleri biraz kuru ama bu kısımlar kulakların göreceli olarak dinlenmesini sağlıyor. Adrenalini hissettirip kulağı doyuran bir albüm. (7/10)
SONUNDA düzgün bir albüm. Genel olarak güzel bir albümdü, oldukça upbeat olması hoşuma gitti, bir yerden sonra biraz fazla gürültülü ve rahatsız edici hale geldi ama olsun. Albümün ya da grubun genel olarak mesajını, lyricleri falan anladığımı söyleyemem ama bir albümde gitar varsa ve şekil a.daki (Rust in peace) gibi KONUSTURULUYORSA dinlenir. Gitarlar enfesti. Ayrıca ilk şarkılarda oriental olarak tanımlayabileceğim (?) küçük, böyle araya yerleştirilmiş ezgiler vardı, mmm harika. Çok harika ötesi bir albüm değildi ama böyle bir şey dinlemeye ihtiyacım olduğu için reviewumuz pozitif olacak. Overall: 7.5/10
Decent album. A little same-y throughout though.
What is thrash metal? This. This is thrash metal.
Strong, great choice for an opening song. Head bopping stuff. Three songs in. Solid first 3. Can’t give any half stars on the website, so it’s gotta be a 5/5 because it’s sure better than 4/5. Fantastic catchy album. Probably a good start for someone like me to get into Megadeth.
favorite megadeth album. solid 4/5. Holy Wars has some of the best guitar in any song ever
Rust in Peace made my ears bleed. I'm glad I stopped after the 4th song because it likely would have made me Megadeaf.
So far... I can feel a slight headache coming on. At the same time, I feel rage and power! My favorite part of these songs is when they slow down and chill out for the "breakdown" moments. Finally, a moment to catch my breath. Lucretia is fuckin rad. Ahhh. It’s finally over. 2/5.
Where most thrash metal loses me is when the have this non-conducive solo sections and screaming that just throw me out of the groove. Rust In Peace is fast paced, expertly executed, crisp and fun. Megadeath has legit earned another fan on this. Fuck me up, this album rocks.
That artwork is sick. Kinda gets repetitive if you dont have an ear for it. Five magics was my favorite. Made me feel like I was playing DND in the 80s. Hangar 18 is pretty bangin too though. I'm trying to think where else I would like to listen to this at. And I think my answer is at a monster truck rally
I can’t think of a worse professional singer offhand than Dave Mustaine.
Good metal with enough variety across the album to make it not feel the same every track.
3.5
Definitely more melodic than I expected for a thrash metal album. I can see it being great if you were into the genre but most of it didn’t do much for me. 4/10
I've never been crazy about Megadeath, but I do enjoy this album. The musicianship is off the charts. A total classic.
There's a reason hair metal died.
Loves the rock!
6/10 not bad, but sorta mid
Energetic AF. I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics because the electric guitars stole the show.
Classic, killer, thrash. Nothing overbearing or too overtop, just tasty metal
Not my favorite version of Megadeth, but some classics are on this one.
It's been a few days since I listened to this, and I find myself having to re-listen to remember what it's like. I mean, it's good. Not my genre. The imagery of it is quite hilariously "teen boy" and you can imagine the stench of unwashed leather and denim at their concerts. That saying, the whole thing is tighter than a tight thing and it does exactly what it sets out to do - with aplomb. Probably going to have to be 5 stars, isn't it?
I had to go back and check but apparently there were multiple songs on this album. They fit all the notes in though — all of them.
I remember when I first discovered Megadeth.. I had just gotten big into Metallica and learned about their connected histories with Dave Mustaine leaving Metallica to start Megadeth. I was blown away by what I was hearing.. Megadeth is clearly more committed to the thrash metal scene for the long haul unlike metallica who moved on from it after an album or two. Dave Mustaine is a riff wizard. He is not a great singer, but it's impressive that he maintains both lead singer and lead guitar.
Easy 4. I didn't realize.
Rifftastic!
I really like the album cover here much more than the music. Some of the guitar work is really cool, but the vocals are absolutely awful. Very high energy though.
Omslaget, namnet, genrebeskrivningen "thrash metal". Hela estetiken gjorde mig rädd att ta mig an detta album. Det kändes inte som något för mig. Och det var det inte heller. MEN, det var inte så dåligt som jag var rädd för. Lite cred ska de ha, coola riffs och sånt ibland. Känner ändå att det mesta flyter ihop, efter ett par låtar tappar jag intresset och glömmer lyssna. Jag kan förstå att det finns något här. Många låtar har ett fint, långsamt intro som förstörs när tempot ökas. Det är hårt, men ändå inte så pass hårt att melodierna inte går att urskilja. Det är melodiöst, och uppenbart väldigt skickligt hantverksmässigt. Det är bara, helt enkelt, ingenting för mig. Det kommer bli en etta, men det var ändå inte USELT. Albumen jag ger tvåor håller generellt högre klass än det här, men det hade kunna varit mycket värre. Bästa låt: Fick mest känslor för 'Hangar 18' och 'Five Magics' efter en genomlyssning, så någon av dem.
Thrash metal. Ni fu ni fa.
Rules
love the riffs i feel like a star, very long though fav songs: hangar 18, five magics, tornado of souls
Love Metallica and Slayer, but wasn’t too familiar with Megadeth. This album is awesome. Riffs are great, drumming is impeccable, this is an awesome thrash record. Will definitely be checking out more of their discography.
Expected not to like and was pleasantly surprised. Pleasantly and Megadeth work well together don't they?
Not really something I would seek out but damn if I didn't have fun listening.
Billl
This gets better for every other thrash metal album I listen to.🐐
Inte för mig
Great instrument work, but found it hard to understand the lyrics clearly so lessened the enjoyment overall. Had moments of sounding like their cotemporaries like Metallica and Guns and Roses Favourite Tracks Poison was the cure, Lucretia
Inderdaad, dit zijn gillende gitaren. Helemaal volgens het boekje keurig binnen de brave metal-lijntjes gekleurd. Lekker stampend en met de gebruikelijke vieze woorden om hun oude moedertjes te laten schrikken. Maar goed, bij mij wreekt zich dan dat dit echt mijn genre niet is. Het klinkt nog het aardigst wanneer het instrumentaal is. Zodra ze hun schreeuwende smoel opentrekken, haak ik weer af.
Dit ken ik van een grijsgedraaid tapeje van een oud vriendje van me. En dan ook nog uit zijn kinder-stereotoren. Vond het toen verschrikkelijk. Maar dat lag natuurlijk aan dat doffe geluid. Nu via een geremasterde link van Spotify klinkt het ineens vol en zijn de instrumenten duidelijk te onderscheiden. En dan blijkt het toch wel erg lekker. Lekker tempo, behoorlijk gevarieerd binnen het genre en een heerlijk stevig geluid. Maar niet te stevig. Want Spotify laat het opvolgen door wat andere grote metal-platen met vooral veel onverstaanbaar geschreeuw. Nee, dan speel ik liever deze plaat opnieuw.
1001 gitaarsolo's in 1 album gepropt, op een achtergrond van distorted riffs en rauwe thrash metal drums. Over de zang moeten we verder maar niet praten en om de teksten zal het vermoedelijk ook niet gaan. Ik luister dit soort muziek met name voor de gitaren. En die gaan helemaal los. Ik had toevallig pas geleden dit album opgezet, omdat maat André dit als huiswerk kreeg. Dus ik heb nu het integrale live concert uit 2010 opgezet. Potdikkie, die mannen kunnen wel een potje spelen hoor.
Highlights: Poison Was The Cure, Tornado Of Souls
Dużo lepszy niż poprzedni Megadeth 4 na szynach
Two monster tunes (Hanger 18 and Tornado of Souls) and a great balance of shred and tune. Not my type of music necessarily, but I've enjoyed listening to this.
That album was so important to me in my discovery of metal music. I still think it's an absolute masterpiece to this day. It has a punky and nasty vibe that the rest of the Big Four never had. We can feel that Dave was pissed off and he made the most raging record of his career. Better than anything Metallica has recorded, in my opinion.
A pillar of the Trash Metal genre. Makes me glad Mustaine left Metallica
Musicians on point - energy at the top. 5 STARS *****
This is without the shadow of a doubt one of the best thrash metal album ever made and the best that we'll ever get from Megadeth. In Rust in Peace, we can feel another kind of anger, lead by inimitable guitar works, killer drum parts and intoxicating vocals.
This is... not bad?!? Surprised me a bit, but still not crazy about the singing. 2.5
I just can't get into Megadeth. It may be the Thrash Metal genre as a whole, but I find Dave Mustaine's vocals especially annoying. Music and riffs are fine, but nothing to write home about. 3/5
It does what it does
released on September 24, 1990 LUKI SPOTIFYSSAÄ ETTÄ JANUARY 1..... huoh .huoh huoho houh... no albumista sitten. että olin kujnnellut aikasemmin ja en tykännyt kovin paljon ja nyt uudestaan uusikuuntelulla oli aika hyväkin vituttaa yhä vokalisti baby metal type beat ja totanoin joo paitsi biisissä dawn patrol haha i got such a sexy voice, this is my real voice,, its sexy i know... kitaratyöskentely rumputyöskentely bassotyöskentely kuitenkin vie albumin pitkälle ekalla kertaa oli take no prisoners paras nyt hangar 18 (mainstream FUCK FUKC UFKC)
Definitely not my cup of tea. I can see how some would enjoy this album but I didn't care for the wailing guitars and doomsday lyrics
Great recommendation. Has heard some songs before but definitely one of the best (of not the best) metal albums of all time
Front half of the album is awesome. Back half lost me a bit. I’m enjoying it as a guilty pleasure but would hate to think this is earnest, serious lyrically.
Favourite song: Lucretia
Phenomenal
It's okay
Music was top tier. I was always keeping up with the bassist, attentive to the guitarist, and driven by the drummer. I don't think I like the classic metal tenor for the vocalist though. I'm between 3-4, but based on my past rankings we're going with 3
Well it definitely ain't Minideth.
Sonzeira, curto das antigas já
I enjoyed the technical complexity of the guitar work. Overall a great thrash metal album.
Megadeath? Wouldn’t of imagined it would be on the list. OK nothing special
Är inte bra någonstans. 🤮
It’s thrash alright. Mustaine and the boys bring it. So much energy and just enough bitterness to make any thrash fan very happy. Premiere ‘80s thrash reminiscent of Mustaines former band
Never been a thrash metal fan - but was really won over with this album - soaring guitar solos, magnificent guitar harmonies, driving bass and some amazing drumming - let down by frankly silly vocals unfortunately
I listened to this album in the 90s in high school when I was really into heavy metal and I wasn’t a huge fan. Not much has changed.
