My history with Megadeth pretty much begins and ends with their debut. I bought the highly anticipated Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! upon release, and was very disappointed at the time. Not sure why that was the case, but if memory serves, it all seemed a bit lightweight for 1985. Recently I bought a pile of classic thrash metal CDs for pennies on the dollar, and many were from Megadeth. Except for Killing... so it might be awhile before that puzzle gets solved. I suspect my opinion will have changed greatly.
And so in 1985, I just quit on Megadeth right then and there. Ha! So here we are some 33 years later with their sophomore outing, and I have a bunch of Megadeth to catch up on apparently (which works out, as noted above)... I don't have a whole lot to say here, except this really is the thrash classic others claim. It's very catchy as well. Back in 1986 it seemed to me there was Metallica and then... everyone else.
CD: 2010 Capitol (Argentina)
This is the same release as the 2004 remaster with insights from Mustaine, lyrics, and photos. Excellent reissue.
