All I know is that I feel like putting it back on.The first thing you will notice about the Thrash Metal masterpiece Rust In Peace (R.I.P.) is the high complexity of its compositions when compared to Megadeth’s previous records. I’m still willing to compromise for 5 stars and accept that Dave has always had his foot in his mouth (we wouldn’t have “Holy Wars” if he didn’t say some particularly insensitive shit, for instance), and Junior’s creepy behavior is a seemingly more recent development.

I don’t think that I can give this a full A due to Dave’s politics and Junior’s recent problems. And I’ll always go to bat for “Dawn Patrol”, which is a neat little interlude before the deadly finish.

And even if I ever have to sell off my collection, there is no way that I would part with my 1990 first edition- the remaster that reverbs Dave’s vocals is just not it.īut this sounds as technically perfect as ever, even the (likely deliberate) imperfect moments. The former because this is one of the first metal CDs I got and fell in love with. The latter because IMO this was so good that this is why thrash had to fade out, there was no topping Dave’s new crew’s chemistry and his ability to balance harmony and anger. RIP will always hold a special place in my heart, as well as metal history. I did not expect a topical, comprehensible, melodic, technical, downright fun listen. I went from dreading this listen to listening to RUST IN PEACE four times through already. I'm sitting here with my hair blown back and a huge smile on my face. Cool! Takes me back to my youth until I realize there are still nuclear missiles pointed at most of us today.may they all rust in peace.įeel like I'm getting a little Halloween treat as "My Creation" treats us to some Dr. “Rust in Peace… Polaris” is sung from the perspective of a nuclear missile. Who knew to go to Megadeth for environmental action songs? It is more frighteningly applicable today than when it was created. “Dawn Patrol” switches to a more ominous tone and much slower pace quite suitable to the seriousness of the lyrics. Then the guitar solo… holy crap! Wow wow wow! “Tornado of Souls” rocks! Incredible song. I love the witch cackle kicking off “Lucretia” and its lyrics. Even if you hate this stuff you're delusional if you can't recognize the talent behind it. "Poison Was The Cure" opens ominously and then explodes into Megadeth's high-speed thrills. Typical of their songs there are several killer guitar solos, not what I typically think of as my thing but man these are good. "Five Magics" takes things down a notch and makes me want to get back into Dungeons & Dragons.

Fantastic stuff! The lyrics come in and… wow! If thrash metal has hooks Megadeth knows how to write them. The guitar streaks through the opening and locks in on the melody as the drum starts kicking its ass. "Take No Prisoners" takes off like a rocket. can repeated exposure to metal bands in this project turn me into a metal-head?

On to "Hangar 18" and I'm really digging it. The lyrics were melodious expressing sentiments I could agree with. The Punishment Due" started and I was liking what I was hearing in the opening guitar. When this came up I was not thrilled about more metal.
