1990 is a year to be remembered in the history of heavy metal. And it has to be said that the US Megadeth have made a lot for it with the launch of their cataclysmic opus, Rust In Peace. After three albums of good quality the four guys decided to release a (nuclear) bomb that has become a landmark in the metal world.
Dave Mustaine publicly reveals his genius, accompanied by his old mate Dave Ellefson. For this album, Mustaine has hired a new guitarist, Marty Friedman, and a drummer, Nick Menza. The first impression when you hear this album, is its pure, almost uncontrolled strength, that changes every riff into an earthquake.The guitars are omnipresent, they rhythm, without any moment of weakness, the lyrics, resolutely anti military and full of nuclear apocalypse. In this point of view, the excellent ?Holy wars? is a titanic opening. This track can be considered as a symbol of all the rage and determination that the album contains, as it combines heavy repeating riffs and guitar flights. This only track can justify the purchase of this album. Because it's a boost that allows the other tracks to be linked together with a great fluidity.

The year is 1990, and the 80's thrash scene will soon fade into the backdrop. There seems to be no hope for this genre beyond but a few bands, but only one of these bands was needed; Megadeth. Since the last album, Dave have ousted Chuck Behler and Jeff Young, and replaced them with Nick Menza and Guitar Giant Marty Friedman. With Political and Societal themes ready to launch, Megadeth was ready to make their fans Rust in Peace.

No bullshit this album is fantastic. Fast, well played, awesome tracks, and awesome writing. Megadeth deserve the die hard legion of fans they have now and forever. Many of the riffs on this album just stick with me and pop up at the most random times (which tends to happen with Megadeth riffs.)

Megadeth's signature masterpiece, if you don't own this album then you don't know Thrash Metal.

Ok trolls, don't get pissed but I think Peace Sells AND So Far are much better than this release. Not sure what all the hub-bub is about. A top album of all-time? Not even close...Does anyone else feel this album is a bit overrated?
I agree, I personally consider this to be one of the most overrated albums in all of metal.

Nope, going to have to disagree with you two. We'll just have to accept that we have different tastes because I think this is an exceptionally good album.

Well... all songs are great. But I desagree with the comment above: MoP is better.
I've always liked Hetfield's vocals better than Mustaine's, but musically I'd say Megadeth is more interesting.

Yep. More fast, and most times better guitar solos.
