Listened to the original (1988) album years ago, at that time I thought it was boring and had a lousy sound.
This remaster sounds much better (cleaner).
Still don't like "502" and "Anarchy in the U.K" and don't care much about "Into the lungs of hell" though.
The vocals are raspier, rawer, more aggressive than on most Megadeth albums.

"Dave Mustaine's drug problems are documented through out Megadeth's long run as one of the top tier Metal bands in the history of music. Make no mistake, I love this record. It's actually my favorite Megadeth album, and I chose this one because it's probably the most screwed up Dave and his band were at the time. Megadeth just had a price to pay, they had a bullet with everyone's name on it. When it came to politics, no one told you like it was better than Dave Mustaine when it came to big broth"
""Rewrites every story
Every poem that ever was
Eliminates incompetence
And those who break the laws.
Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules
Replacing rights with wrongs
The files and records in the schools
I'm not a fish
I'm a man
Hook in Mouth!"
Upon the success in the late 80's, Megadeth was already one of the standing grounds as one of the biggest Thrash bands around. Already a solid debut, and even better sequel album, the roots of punk rock in contrast of speed and Dav"
