To be honest I've listened much more to Metallica than to Megadeth. But this is a good and solid album if you like this kind of things; apart from his attitude of Mustaine, he is actually a really skilled guitarist and the album is the right length; too long and it could have been boring.
It’s said not to judge a book by its cover, but in this case this album does exactly what it says on the tin. From the parental advisor warning to the Iron Maiden style apocalyptic zombie thing, it’s clear that this is good old-fashioned thrash metal with pounding drums, galloping bass, growling vocals and lots of fast, twiddly guitar. It’s a brisk 36 minutes in length with songs about war, death and the occult, and not a lot else. It certainly kept me awake on a dull drive back from the office today. Thanks Megadeth!
