Format:Audio CD
The album itself is not Megadeth's best. I would say that "Rust in Peace" is definately better, followed perhaps by "Peace Sells", but it's almost worth owning simply because of the cover art. It's truly awesome. It was pretty contraversial at the time but if you look at it there is little to be offended by. None of the babies are dead or in pain, it's just a very surreal image. The booklet is also very good, it is quite in depth and gives an insight into what was going through the minds of Megadeth at the time of recording, although Dave Mustaine himself says that he only really likes one track on the record, "a tout la monde", which kind of made me feel a bit silly for buying it...

I taped this album way back in 95 off a mate and we use to listen to it a lot going to Beetle Fares in his crazy Bug of his with sounds blasting out of his insane speakers. Anyway Youthanasia was on a lotta the time and people heard it way before we arrived!
Breaking it down it starts off quite solidly with Reckoning Day with some nice thrash guitars coming through, followed on by Train of Consequences which builds exquisitely crunching along on some catchy yet jugular riffs. This is maintained by Addicted To Chaos another really gripping tune with some intriguing lyrics as always from Mustaine with the theme on HEAVY all the way through.
A Toute Le Monde is the hit single and for me its ok, not the best song here as Dave would love us to believe, his sleeve notes are quite tedious as he's constantly plugging this song as the only one thats worth hearing which is a shame as there are plenty of others that are better, but thats my opinion, its still a good song and the chorus sung in French is quite catchy.
My fave song here has to be Elysian Fields, simply because it shows Megadeth really attempting something different with a perfect balance of heavy/ catchy, it just makes you wanna grab your git and bang your head which is what this band are all about to me.
The Killing Road is the next standout track and you can really feel the exasperation/exhaustion in Mustaine's words as he screams "Lost my mind, lost all my money . . . . I Iost my life to the killing rooooaaaaaad!!" at the outro bit when it speeds up. YEEEEEaaaaaaaHHHHH!
My only complaint of this record is that it then goes into a series of very slow and forgettable tracks namely from Blood Of Heroes to Youthanasia which are very dull and plodding. Another fast thrash number would have helped.
I Thought I Knew It All is the next cool number here but most of the bonus tracks are forgettable save Absolution, the instrumental and New World Order which appears here in demo form, a shame because its a masterclass in songwriting blending some Flotsam style clean guitar with some heavy sections and a total mosh end piece which even Dave acknowledges in his notes. Interesting that drummer Nick Menza wrote it too and the lyrics would be welcomed by any conspiracy theorists! I think the fully mastered version appears on Hidden Treasures, but in demo form it still packs more punches than most of the songs here!
Over all worth acquiring but just have your hand on the remote so you can shovel through the filler!

It's okay.
