Still their best album

>>126864091 (OP)
One of the best albums, ever...period. One of the few actual 10/10s.

>metallica
>megadeth
>iron maiden
ok we got it
get new material

>>126864099
How about Razor and Wasp?

>>126864099
Those other two never had a Kill Em All. Or technically, Mustaine had a little to do with this too.

>>126864091 (OP)
I can't decide honestly. First three albums are all no skip records.

>>126864091 (OP)
naw, it sounds like a demo next to MoP

>>126864175
It just rocks and in your face. And for a studio album, some songs like Whiplash sound like they have an energy of a smaller show. MoP is great in its own right, but it's more spatial and epic stadium metal or something.

>>126864175
KEA is metal, MOP is cartoon shit in comparison

>>126864107
>Wasp?
this guy gets it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh-btSHnblQ&pp=ygUaQU5JTUFMIEkgRlVDSyBMSUtFIEEgQkVBU1Q%3D

>Countdown to Extinction
>The Number of the Beast
you can delete your 4chan account now.

>>126865158
>>Countdown to Extinction
LOL

>>126864091 (OP)
Their craziest and most energetic album for sure, but not their most melodic

>>126865158
Lot of great songs, but not one after another. In total career, they definitely rival the number of good tracks as Metallica. Or more. Just not this album.

>>126864091 (OP)
>>126867869
With good production / mastering, it would have been Justice

>>126864109
>little to do with it
>wrote the mechanix, jump in the fire and music for phantom lord and metal milita
This album wouldn't have happened without him. Also Killing is my business is much better than KEA.

>>126867949
>if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike

>>126867949
>by mixing out the bass guitar and making some songs filler snoozers, it could have been Justice
You're not wrong.

>>126867949
Master of Puppets was their only 80s album with decent production. KEA and RTL both have that muffled mid 80s stank and AJFA sounds like the air is getting sucked out of it.

>>126868155
St. Anger?

>>126864091 (OP)
It was their best album for 1 year

>>126864091 (OP)
Because Mustaine wrote all the songs

>>126864159
Ride the Lightning has Escape and Trapped which bitch suck and I skip every time

>>126868355
you only wrote half Dave

>>126867976
didn't he write the four horseman too?

>>126867976
>This album wouldn't have happened without him
??? yes it would have. take all the songs he wrote off and you still have the debut EP of all time

>>126867976
>This album wouldn't have happened without him
??? yes it would have. take all the songs he wrote off and you still have the best debut EP of all time

>>126867976
I didn't say he had little to do with it. I said "a little", like in a jokey way giving him a nod. Sorry that didn't come through right. Just saying you don't have to mention a Megadeth album to say Mustaine can also be brought up with Kill Em All too.

>>126867976
>Killing is my business is much better than KEA.
Muztaine is always so bitter

>>126864091 (OP)
Metallkkeks or mustainefags? Who are more annoying

>>126868863
Four horseman is just mechanix with an extra riff and different lyrics.

>>126868948
Take Dave out of the equation and they wouldn't get a record deal. He's the reason they got big so early. His guitar playing and crowd hyping between songs (when James ran away from the mic because he was too shy) was the reason they got so many fans. Without his songs there would be No life til leather demo which I thr main reason they got a record deal. And without nltl there is no kea in 83.

>>126869142
Sure, that's fair.

>>126869173
Song to song, it is better. Riffs and solos are a mile ahead of kea. And even on kea, most of the best songs on that album were written by Dave.

>>126869189
Mustainefags talk a lot but metalifags deny reality far more. To this day most of them still act like Dave just wrote "a few riffs." Faggots don't even know he wrote the entirety of Mechanix and that james just added a riff and changed the lyrics.

>>126868552
The most pathetic thing I've ever seen was an interview with Dave where they were introducing him to the viewers and summarizing his career. They said "he's sold 50 million records with his band Megadeth" and after Dave goes "and I actually sold 50 million more with Metallica"
It's was so pathetic. Just move the fuck on already

>>126869846
Put yourself in his shoes and see if you'd be able to move on so easily.

>>126869966
it's time to stop posting Dave

>>126869846
>>126869966
They were never not going to break up, even if Mustaine weren't fucked up throughout the 80s and if Ulrich didn't have the biggest ego in music, a situation where 3/4 of the band members are leaders with huge songwriting ideas is never going to end well.

>>126864091 (OP)
This album is garbage even Load is better.

>>126864091 (OP)
Not a hard feat.

>>126869795
>Song to song, it is better. Riffs and solos are a mile ahead of kea
Nah
>And even on kea, most of the best songs on that album were written by Dave.
LMAO cmon dave

WHIPLASH

>>126868367
>Trapped Under Ice sucks

There is no saving this board….holy fucking shit.

>>126864096
This. 1st post, best post.

>>126868355
Dave Mustaine wrote Load

>>126864091 (OP)
>“That’s when Cliff Burton mentioned something about wanting there to be a bloody hammer on the cover,” Hammett told Uhelszki, “but then Cliff Burton carried a hammer with him everywhere he went … he always had a hammer in his luggage, and he would take it out occasionally and start destroying things.”
what the fuck was his problem?

>>126870013
It wouldn't be 3/4, it would be 4/4. And in time I do think that Dave would get his shit together and that Lars would get his ego in check with all the amazing music they would do. There wouldn't really be leaders, just four guys making music.

>>126871183
Yeah. Loved to death alone mogs kea in its entirety. And mechanix is better than horsemen. And I could go on.

And yeah, they are. Horsemen and phantom lord are right near the top and Dave wrote both.

One of the albums ever

Master of Puppets [Elektra, 1986]
I feel at a generational disadvantage with this music not because my weary bones can't take its power and speed but because I was born too soon to have my dendrites rerouted by progressive radio. This band's momentum can be pretty impressive, and as with a lot of fast metal (as well as some sludge) they seem to have acceptable political motivations--antiwar, anticonformity, even anticoke, fine. But the revolutionary heroes I envisage aren't male chauvinists too inexperienced to know better; they don't have hair like Samson and pecs like Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's the image Metallica calls up, and I'm no more likely to invoke their strength of my own free will than I am The 1812 Overture's. B-

>>126874293
Who is this faggot?

>>126864091 (OP)
This was the 1st album I really got into so ig some of is nostalgia but it's one of my all time favs, not just in metal.
Best guitar tone ever and my fav Cliff tone (other than front in center stuff from the next 2 albums)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGQtH-8zqRI&ab_channel=metfan4l

>>126864091 (OP)
Along with Load and Black album, its one of their best mixed albums.
1) Good mids and chug on Young Het's Arrendondo-modded Marshall rhythm guitars.
2) Good bass levels.
3) Crisp & clean tones.
4) Lars using plenty of ride.

>>126874542
Speaking of clean, I love the interlude to Phantom Lord so much, gotta give credit to Dave for that one. Just one clean tone section on the entire album is interesting

>>126874648
That's a great interlude. Not sure it was written by Dave though, can you confirm? That part didnt exist on the NLTL demo.

>>126874293
Let's edit out the parts that have nothing to do with music:
>power and speed ... This band's momentum can be pretty impressive ... fast metal (as well as some sludge)
What a detailed review.

I'm not afraid to admit that I like Metallica's more bluesy stuff than their thrash stuff

>every metallica thread like
>mustainefags trying to not seethe about metallica
They truly make Mutaine proud

>>126873977
>Loved to death alone mogs kea in its entirety
Lol

>>126864091 (OP)
Yeah because Dave wrote it

>muh mustaine wrote all the album
>muh he wrote all riffs and solos
>muh the songs he wrote are the best
Do Megakeks really?

>>126875320
it's literally one megashart simp that is in EVERY metallica thread saying dave this dave that. you can practically hear him slurping on dave's cock in his mouth

>>126873977
>Lars would get his ego in check
He still hasn't done this.

>>126875218
>metallifags can't handle the fact that metallica would have no fans without dave to take over the mic when james ran away from it between songs

>>126876557
Because he's literally the big man in charge so why would he? If Dave was still in it, him and Cliff would be strong enough personalities that Lars wouldn't be able to be the boss he is now. Dave wouldn't be a yes man like Kirk.

Also the whole 90s gay style would never have happened.

>>126874456
>kea has the best metallica bass guitar tone
>except for the following albums, where the bass was mixed out completely

>>126874542
Amazing how iconic the Het' became that you could put on this outfit and you're instantly recognizable
