I 100% understand why this is a bottom 10 album (10 at the time of writing) on this list. Reviews like "what the actual fuck" and "Sounds like drums beating saxophones" are 100% accurate, and made me laugh. Funnily enough, I, going in blind, decided to listen to this album (of all the ones to pick) while trying to lay down to start to go to sleep. I will say though, maybe it caught me on a good day, and especially after 10-15 straight albums of middling of the pack psychedelic albums, one off 2000's pop albums (Looking at you Ceelo) or British wannabes from different eras, trying to emulate Oasis, Blur, The Beatles, or even Radiohead. (Not to say there aren't great versions of these things listed) but this was incredibly refreshing to hear, even if sonically, it wasn't nearly as accessible. This is by far my biggest positive stray from the pack in terms of rating, and after all, is that not what this project is for?

4/5
Split between giving a genuine review and making a “Me when I see the horse of wisdom” joke due to Pagan Poetry.

Admittedly, I don't think this is their best (see Rust in Peace), and may not be as much as a 5 as others I have rated, but I have a soft spot for Megadeth, and taking them at face value, it's a pretty great album. I'm not listening to get introspective, or take a lesson (not that you couldn't) the experience of Friedman shredding, and Mustaine's one of a kind vocals (whether that's good or bad) is the fun in it.
