If I was 11, I'd have voted SFSGSW. But Rust In Peace is clearly their best.
"Liar" is about Chris Poland?
Whatever happened to Jeff Young, I wonder?

Yeah, Poland sold Mustaine's gear to but heroin before he was sacked.

Buy, I mean.
Hidden Treasures, the collection of non-album soundtrack and compilation tracks is my favorite. Every fucking song on there is awesome! "Breakpoint" from the Super Mario Bros. movie, "Go To Hell" from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, "Angry Again" from Last Action Hero, "99 ways to die" from Beavis & Butthead--all so, so good. It's weird, none of the full-fledged official Megadeth albums really did anything for me, but I've listened to Hidden Treasures many, many times.

man I waffle between Rust and Peace Sells and then I hear Dave wail "I'm out to destroy you and I will cut you down" and the decision is clear.

honestly though if we're talking post-Rust in Peace, I think Endgame might be my fav. I dunno what it was, but they managed to rekindle something on that album, which they then fumbled away on the two that followed it.

I'm back to Rust now. Peace SElls hasn't really moved re: my love for it, cos it's ferocious, but RIP just gets richer every time I listen to it.
fucking "5 Magics" man.

Youthanasia is enjoyable in a "ok Megadeth isn't interested in scorching the earth but these are some catchy songs" way, even though it def does tend to plod at times.
was my first Megadeth album weirdly enough.

the Chris Poland rant "Liar" is kind of silly
Never heard this bit of trivia! Makes sense in retrospect
BTW I've recently decided that Dave Mustaine's singing voice often sounds like Kim Gordon's (and vice versa)

a fun byproduct of streaming is i can listen to the 2004 remix and the 2011 remaster of peace sells side by side. the reverb completely evaporated from the remix, it's kind of wild (and i feel like the reverb is necessary for the sound of the album, i dislike how the remix feels so cleanly extracted from the production values of '80s thrash)

killing is my business and so far so good underrated here and everywhere. gar samuelson's drumming on the former is incredible

"Killing Is My Business" remaster completely transformed the recording. I always loved the album, but the remaster gave it so much more bite.
I just put it on again last night and it fuckin shreds.
