Hidden Treasure is the title of this small album of 8 tracks, 29 and a half minutes short. The title is self-explanatory because the hidden treasures it contains are all original soundtracks from movies, tribute songs or previously unreleased tracks. For very few people this album was available included as bonus cd on the 'Youthanasia' album, if I'm not mistaken for 6666 people in whole Europe.

A real 'nice' track to start off with is 'No More Mr. Nice Guy', a cover the famous Alice Cooper song, which I like better than the original because of the very suiting heavy riffs on it.
Song number two 'Breakpoint' from the 'Super Mario Bros' soundtrack is good, too.
Number three 'Go to hell' from 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey falls off, a bit too static and boring. Great is track number four from 'Last Action Hero' called 'Angry Again', a feeling extraordinarily emphasized by the voice of Dave Mustaine that really suits Arnold Schwarzenegger's moods (if you've seen that movie, too!). '99 Ways To Die' is from 'The Beavis And Butthead Experience', it's good but not the best, though it might have fitted on Youthanasia, too? anyway it has interesting acoustic licks in it. A real highlight is 'Paranoid' yet another cover song and a real odd one, from the 'Nativity In Black - A Tribute To Black Sabbath' album, way too cool for the likes of me, just felt like saying this because once again I find this better than the original. 'Diadems', a track from 'Tales From The Crypt Presents The Demon Knight', I don't like it too much, it feels like it gets stuck somehow when changing from the low tempo to the up tempo part, something gets really lost there.
The last track 'Problems' is a previosly unreleased one, but it's good that with Megadeth this case has been opened and released. It is a cover from the Sexpistols, I don't know the original, but I bet it does not sound like this!

To have or not to have, this is the question. If you got a problem, the problem is you!
