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. Read more ›› |

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. Read more ›› |

Exactly 30 years ago, on September 24th, Rust In Peace was unleashed upon the world and had the impact of an atomic bomb. Just before thrash metal's demise, Megadeth released a magnificent masterpiece that was at the same time so aggressive yet dexterous, so catchy yet progressive, so melodic yet gritty, that it would be considered groundbreaking even if it was released today. Alongside the two Daves, Rust in Peace was the first Megadeth album to feature lead guitarist Marty Friedman and the late Nick Menza on drums, thus undoubtedly forming the most talented line-up the band ever had. Titles like "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", "Hangar 18", and "Tornado Of Souls" are carved with golden letters on the Book of Thrash's Legendary Tracks. To be consumed incessantly and irresponsibly until nuclear warfare wipes us off the face of this planet. nikarg's picks | More picks ›› |

Written by Auntie Sahar on 27.09.2020 at 15:16 The album is not overrated, is obvious that you love thrash metal more than metal in general and I can see why you don't appreciate RIP as a whole, is just because this record is so much more than Thrash like Peace Sells or Killing Is My Business, Rust In Peace take Thrash beyond its borders, mixing it with more melodic, versatile stuff even jazz elements, sometimes RIP takes his time, and not all the time is aggressive, things that not thrash fans can understand!!

Written by Mauricio5555 on 20.12.2023 at 07:32 Yes, Sahar only cares about thrash metal, and nothing else in metal! He hates innovation, only raw, old-school thrash. Yup, that's the Sahar I know. Definitely. Totally.

Written by Mauricio5555 on 20.12.2023 at 07:32 I’m partial to black metal, doom, drone, and industrial far more so than thrash, actually, but OK. Anywho, my margin of error for RIP vs the other two I mentioned is slim anyway. For me, I’d say RIP gets a 9, KIMB a 9.5. Peace Sells is an easy 10.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 21.12.2023 at 23:43 "I Ain't Superstitious" is the only thing that brings Peace Sells down for me as a whole. I often say that Rust In Peace is the best album ever, but Peace Sells is the best Megadeth album ever -- if that makes sense, lol.

Technically brilliant where especially some solos are truly facemelting. I would like to give it higher rating since both Hangar 18 and Tornado of Souls are out of this world. Hangar 18 might be my favourite Megadeth track, the set of solos always impress me along with the catchy riffs. At the same time there's some songs that don't do that much for me like Lucretia, Five Magics and Dawn Patrol.

Five Magics is one of the best songs on the album. That bass intro alone is better than a lot of the stuff on here. If there’s any bad ones it’s either Lucretia or Take No Prisoners (Everyone likes this for some reason but gawd it’s classic cringetastic Dave lyrics that sounds like it would’ve come off an album like United Abominations instead).

I quite like "Five Magics" tbh, for me the weakest track on the album is "Take No Prisoners", and even that's a reasonably good song. "Holy Wars" has always been my favorite ever Megadeth song, but "Hangar 18", "Tornado Of Souls", and "Rust In Peace...Polaris" all aren't far behind that, they're all time thrash metal classics imo.

I can join the pro-Five Magics train, that bassline during the first phase is dope as hell, and I dig what it subsequently transitions into as well. Excluding Dawn Patrol (which isn't really a proper song), the weakest here for me are also Lucretia and Take No Prisoners like Mönkey said, but both are still fine songs
