Free Music Review: Megadeth's Greatest Work........By Far
Hit: 5 Stars
Rust in Peace is one of those albums where everything comes together: songwriting, performance and recording. This is by far the best Megadeth has to offer. I've heard every Megadeth album multiple times, but I always find myself coming back to this one.
First, the playing here is top-notch. The addition of Friedman gives Megadeth a completely new dimension in terms of sound. From his modal guitar solos to his mechanic speed-picking, this album cooks from first to last note.
Second, the songwriting and lyrics. Great and...great. Song structures are tight, lyrics are melodic and have meaning, really not a bad song on the entire album. No fillers here.
Lastly, the recording is so clear and crisp, you would never know that is was recorded in 1990. A great sonic achievement.
In closing, if you are just getting into Megadeth, this is the album to start with. Great thrash, unbelievable playing, and one of the best sounding metal records of all time.
Favorite Tracks: Holy Wars, Hangar 18, and Rust in Peace.
Rust in Peace Poster
With Rust in Peace, Megadeth reached musical maturity. While not as slick and stripped-down as their later releases, it does bring the style developed on their earlier albums-basically, high-speed progressive metal-to a high point. Guitarist and singer Dave Mustaine and guitarist Marty Friedman are in fine form here, making technically complex passages sound easy. The lyrics aren't as smooth, but it's almost not worth quibbling over when the music is so good. It's all gut-wrenchingly aggressive, from "Holy Wars" to "Lucretia" to "Five Magics" to "Dawn Patrol," but "Hangar 18" and the title track are two high points, standing above the rest on what is already a fine album. --Genevieve WilliamsPop Music CDs
