I knew a guy, that only liked this album by Megadeth, and nothing else. Never understood it. I love their first six; and Blackmail the Universe. I think they are all perfect albums. My last one is probably the most controversial. Dave had real passion again, it seemed.
I remember seeing this at a flea market for 50 cents in the mid 90s and was stunned. I never saw this album in record stores or mentioned by anyone. I could walk into a Strawberry Records and find Killing Is My Business, Peace Sells, Rust in Peace, Countdown the then current Youthansia, but never this one. I loved this album instantly and personally place it higher for me above Peace Sells.
@@YaHUKaB_ShaRYAL_YaShaRAL whatever liar. I bet "your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your hep and AIDS." 😏 Wasn't that song written about Chris Poland?
@@onenationunderground2360 Haha, good one bro! 😆 I lmao so hard after reading this. 😂 Is your teeth decayed you drunken bastard? Much love MegADetH brother! 🤘🏼
When I was 15 I used to be a cart collector at the local grocery store. this album just came out I remember rockin out picking up carts. I'm 50 now can't believe all that time has passed and still love Megadeth.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Some of the "re-masters" use newly recorded tracks! What a joke. At that point it's a corruption of the original music, a fraud. ZZ Top also did something similar to their back catalog in the 90's, horrifying their fans (I believe ZZ Top eventually took those off the market and re-issued their old albums with the original sound restored).
@@TheAdventuresofTNT I'm glad you remembered to seek out the original for "Into the Lungs of Hell", as the remastered version drastically increases the sounds of those horns at the beginning (yes, they are there in the original version, but they are buried so deep you can barely hear them, which is perfect). On the remastered version, it sounds goofy af! Go check when you have the chance; it's like night & day.
My first megadeth album…bought it with my paper route money…I listened to this cassette so much I wore it out. I loved megadeth so much as a kid I got a Vic rattle head tattoo when I was sixteeen ..lol.man I got my ass whopped for that.
Mustaine said 'Set the world afire' was the first song he wrote after being fired from Metallica... it was originally titled 'Megadeth'. But he wasn't happy w/ the initial version, so he rewrote it multiple times and finally made it onto Megadeth's 3rd album... 'Into the lungs of hell' had a keyboard intro that wasn't prominent on the original version... on the remixed version, u can hear it like a cinematic entry. The 3rd album was recorded w/ guitarist Jeff Young and drummer Chuck Behler... both were fired by 1989... Mustaine & Ellefson were jacked out of their mind on alcohol & drugs when this record wss made...but it sold better than 'Peace sells'🤘🤘
The only tune I really loved was HOok in Mouth. But I think it is a superb song. Hearing this again, I really like it too. I can't remember what the ballad was on this album, but it sure was overrated. A huge step down from Peace Sells
@@demianseale501 You must be trying to remember 'In My Darkest Hour'. But it is far from being considered a ballad or power ballad. This track has a well-worked and melodic beginning, then the stanza has a lilting tempo until the preparation for Mustaine's solo, from then on it becomes speed metal.
My favorite Megadeth album by a wide margin. Every track on this one is fire, especially Darkest Hour, man what heart wrenching assault that song is. I read somewhere Dave wrote it in one sitting after hearing about Cliff's passing, bombed out on H. Keep going man, you should hear this stuff live, unreal. Did anybody see him on Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? First person to win the fastest question, so he was the first to play. Won the million for his charity of choice and split. The rest of the celebrities did not win the million, even though they all stuck around and helped each other by shouting out what they thought were the correct answers from the peanut gallery. Unfuckingbelievable. Love him or hate him, the guy's a fucking genius. I was hoping you would get around to this one day.
@@burtknighten1873 I still have some metal mags from the time when the record came out & I remember the reviewers bashing the production, which isn't as sleek/clean-sounding as 'Peace Sells'. Personally, I think it's perfect for the material -- it's dark.
When listening to these 2 tracks on the album back to back they flow perfectly together. I always consider "Into the Lungs of Hell" the intro for "Set the World Afire" "Set the World Afire" is one of the most underrated Megadeth songs in my opinion. It is a beast. I am in the minority but I like this album better than Peace Sells on the strength of Into the Lungs of Hell, Set the World Afire, Hook in Mouth, In my Darkest Hour, and Liar. Those are by far the strongest songs on the album and the leftover 3 songs are a mixed bag. I know you already listened to "Hook in Mouth" I think I remember you doing "Liar" and I'm not sure if you did "In My Darkest Hour" so you might have hit all of the best tracks
Well, you forgot mary jane. That song is just amazing. And I love the last verse for Set the world afire, when dave continues playing the solo and starting to sing at the same time. Hands down easily the most oppressive post-apocalypse song ever. Funny detail, the intro for set the world afire is the ink spots, same guys who are used on for the intro of the original fallout games.
Bro... Thank you sooo much for giving this album some love! It's one of my favorite albums front to back of their's. Definitely my favorite to drive to! Warning don't attempt unless you have some disposable speeding ticket money. lol
I love this song and I am glad you did it. As a teenager I focused on Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, and Youthanasia. As a man in my 40's I have revisited Peace Sell and So far so good. They are my go to when I cut grass. I have them blaring in the headphones. Do Mary Jane and In My Darkest hour. Great songs.
Same here! I don’t know what it was about this album that I didn’t appreciate back then. I’m all over it nowadays. The crazy thing is that when I listen to rust in peace now, it sounds overproduced.
I barely now have stumbled onto your reactions and have had a blast watching. Thank you for the content. The funny thing that i have found out about Megadeth is that the magic happens when you hear them live. I have been a fan of theirs for decades but have only seen them once live and WOW! I already loved their music and it was already apart of me but DAMN! Live!! Blew me away.
Love your Megadeth reactions! The original version of “Mary Jane”, off So Far So Good, is one of my faves and I think it’s also a really underrated track by even the people who love So Far So Good! Not many people react to it, so it’d be cool if you did!
I REALLY appreciate you guys keeping this talent filled music alive. I believe the short story is that all three, James, Kirk and Dave have been Classically trained and that's why the guitar sounds like it does; many, many, MANY hours of elaborate, perfectly timed finger picking, I think James is the only one who prefers rhythm of the three, the other two are more comfy aggressively moving those fingers like mad scientists of metal!!!
As a kid in the 80s skateboarding , racing bmx and motocross, Peace sells and so far so good so what were my favorite “cassetts” . I had one of those yellow waterproof Sony Walkman . Still a Megadeth fan all these years later . I am bummed about Ellefson though. Geez
My favorite Megadeth era was the first 4 records and for the very reason you stated, because he was so angry. All those songs aren't directed at Metallica but he was able to channel his anger at Metalllica and create some really good music. His songwriting improved on later records but nothing compares to the aggression and vitriol he exuded on those early records. But as someone much wiser than I once said, "You can't piss vinegar forever".
I've been into MegadetH since the 80s when i was a youngin not even 10 years old and this is my fav album, just the vibe and memories collected over the years it conjures...
10:34 " the Arsenal of megadeth can't be rid they say and when it comes the living will envy the dead " Dave read this on a political flyer he found on the greyhound after being dismissed from metallica . He started writing set the world afire but the song was called megadeth at the time and he planned to name his new band Fallen Angel . They played this live from the beginning so not sure why it didn't surface til the 3rd record .
(I believe) It’s because he wasn’t happy with the outcome with the first results and didnt think it was ready. So he held onto it and reworked it until he thought it sounded right and was ready to place it in an album. There’s also a possibility that he might have forgotten about it for a while since he was constantly fucked up. Lol
When I bought the vinyl when I was a teen, many years ago.... I was accosted by an evangelist on the bus... I told him I was a devil worshipper and flashed him the album! He got up and left! 😂😂🤘🤘🤘👹
That's awesome! I was in Blockbuster video, long ago, & I was wearing ripped jeans, leather jacket, tattoos, & a ring in my nose. (This was the 80s, that shit was not fashionable back then.) I was just browsing videos, when this old couple walked by & said, "HOODLUM!" I laughed, and corrected them. I said, "Actually, I'm more of a 'Punk'. But I would accept 'Metalhead,' or even 'Freak.' But HOODLUM?!? Do you see any grease in my hair? Anyway, I know it's not the same, but you reminded me of a memory I haven't thought about in years, so, thanks! 🤘😁🤘
I also used to get alot of johovah witness' coming to my house. I decided to be really nice to them, invite them in, lock the door, then tell them I was in a Satanist & I needed new recuits for my evil army...Or some crazy shit like that.
Love the reaction. Just a little correction: in the instrumental "Into The Lungs Of Hell", Mustaine plays all solos. In "Set The World Afire", Mustaine plays the first solo. The guy who replaced Chris Poland is named Jeff Young, and he plays that big solo at the end of the song. Young is not as talented as Poland, but he is a virtuoso, too. He had a few tasty solos on "SO FAR, SO GOOD... SO WHAT!", which is the only album he appears on with Megadeth.
Greetings my friend from Las Vegas N.V. I am a drummer by profession. I know the bass player for Megadeth. And let me explain when they recorded that record production from 88'. Excellent anthology of pure thrash Metal music old school.
Hell 2 the yes ! When I met Dave Mustaine in Hot lanta back in 87. They opened with this ! So Great .... Thanks for bringing back those memories T ! 🤘😎🤘 BTW my wife let me interrupt a awesome Puscifer song "The Rapture " U and wife should check it out!TNT from Tn.
This is by far my favorite Megadeth album. Came out when I was a teenager. All the song are really good. 502 is one of my favs, in my darkest hour. All awesome
Dude I feel like we have the same ear when it comes to listening to this band. Hook in Mouth is a staple on my lifting playlist and Five Magics (original) is my favorite deth song if I had to pick. But all four of their first albums have left a profound mark on me musically. If this is legit your first time hearing from these albums you are in for a treat.
Up until 5th grade, I was into Kenny Rogers. That changed when I was given this album at the end of 5th grade and became a metalhead. Long live MegaDave! God bless him!
Yes your back to fucking Megadeth my 4ever band and it's 😎 you've become a megadeth fan they are just awesome looking forward to the New Album, The sick the dying and the dead you just can't go wrong with megadeth keep it up man\m/
i rememeber being in junior high and buying this on cassette when it came out. def. hook in mouth in this record is my fav. my first band played the talent show and we did Megadeth's version of Anarchy in the Uk and ended it with the ending of Metallica's song "One" saw this tour as well.
They say your favourite albums by any band will be the ones you encountered first as a teen. I'm just really happy that So Far So Good So What was mine where Megadeth was concerned. Such a good album. Mary Jane is the standout track for me but the whole thing is golden.
Set the world afire is definitely a masterpiece. Hook in mouth and set the world afire are in my top5 tracks. You haven’t done foreclosure of a dream yet, for what it’s worth lol Sleepwalker as well, that’s an amazing track.
The opening of Set The World Afire are a sample from The Inkspots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire from 1941. The song was originally written in 1938 by Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus and Eddie Seiler. It was first recorded by Harlan Leonard And His Rockets three years later. The Inkspots version reached number 4 on the US pop chart. Got very popular after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The song was also used in Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76
I love how T is smiling throughout each song 90% of the videos length all while showing a little bit of grit. Love your reaction vids man 🤘keep kicking ass!
I love that this album reminds me of the Fallout Games even though this album predated them by several years. It also perfectly encapsulates what Megadeth is and embraces their snarky, cocky attitude (using a 50s crooner about the same subject matter before literally dropping a bomb on it to show that the oldies are dead, Megadeth is where the kids are at!) But it definitely gives an impression of nuclear war and embraces the paranoia of the cold war which was rampant in the late 80s and early 90s. Thanks for checking it out!! I love all of Megadeth's albums but this one is about a B tier for me. I prefer the tightness and melody of albums such as Endgame and Countdown rather than the overt punk influence of this album. But this one sounds unlike any other album I've heard. The gritty slightly off key lo-fi production Gives So Far So Good So What an atmosphere like nothing else.
Recording technology improved a lot in the 90's, but I'd argue that the murky production values of a lot of lower budget 80's metal enhanced the atmosphere.
YES!!! I’m so glad there’s a new Megadeth reaction!!! You should react to the song “When”. NOBODY has reacted to that song on RUclips EVER!!! I know it’s not on So Far So Good So What, but it is an AMAZING song. If you’re looking for another SFSGSW song, then I HIGHLY recommened 502. SEVERLY underrated song!!!
Megadeth was and is still just awesome! Dave has amazing talent. That's why he still makes music like no one else now a days. New edge but still the old feel. Great lyrics. Riffs to make your head headbang. Try Ashes in your Mouth.
This is definitely my favorite album by megadeth. Not sure what you have heard off this album but its definitely worth a listen. I wonder if they still end every concert with anarchy in the USA lol
Hook in Mouth is super underrated and one of my favorites also! This album in general in fact is underrated! So many great tracks!! Set the World Afire was originally titled Megadeth and Mustaine started writing it on the bus ride home from being fired by Metallica, I believe. Great reaction!! Chris Poland wasn't on this album, it was Jeff Young, not to nitpick lol. 🤙🏻🤘🏻
When i saw "Into The Lungs Of Hell" reaction video,i knew you must be a fan.I was shocked to see these tunes being reacted to, I've seen all the usual big Megadeth tunes being reviewed..so ,great job man! Peace Sells, So Far, So Good.. and Holy Wars. My top 3. I will subscribe!!
This whole album is ferocious and raw, Dave is pissed here. Wait til you hear Liar! And yeah, the original mix is killer on this album. Should probably do the whole album in order, it's killer!
Probably the black sheep of the early albums, but still underrated and has some classics on it. In My Darkest Hour, Hook in Mouth, Mary Jane are other highlights.
Oh yes brother years ago when this album came out I brought it right after work I was up with this album all night I did not sleep it was so intense I was hocked up enough to go back to work the next day.
I'm glad you reacted to this.I bought the vinyl when it came out.What a one two punch opening.The way Into the lungs...fades and goes into set the world...always seems to me like one song with two movements.Good time to discover the metal genre,alot of good shit out there.
When this album first came out , I had a six speaker Infinity sound system in my car. LOL... The looks I got at stop lights with my windows open, volume cranked all the way up!
That last solo by Jeff Young on set the world afire is simply wicked. Gives me chills everytime i listen to it. I have yet to hear any other megadeth guitarist give it justice. They all do a descent job but lack that substance Jeff Young puts on it.
Was overseas when this hit!🤘 Mustaine was already driven when Metallica were starting out, his firing drove him on further still! What a rich legacy this man has! He fought hard for everything he has and retains his credibility as an absolute champion and founder of American Thrash Metal!🤘🔥💀
Love those two tracks. The instrumental has very much an orchestral feel given the arrangement. If I'm not mistaken, this was Dave's response to Metallica's Master of Puppets release and was much anticipated. Not one weak song on this release.
This album has a very special place in my heart ❤️ even though peace sells, is my favorite album and the song which is the name of the album. I truly love so far, so good , so what. I played it more times than any other album.
Love this album. This one and Peace Sells were my introduction to Megadeth and will always be my favorites. Tks for bringing back some good teenage memories. Cheers!
Other than Youthanasias album, we share the same favorites! Five Magics and Into the Lungs of Hell are masterpieces. Marty Friedman’s lead work in Five Magics is incredible
Also the guitar player there was jeff young not criss Poland
That’s right I should’ve known that because this is the album with “Liar” on it. He fired poland for pawning their equipment. Thank you for this.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT i think he fired gars samuelson for selling the equipment.
@@suhaas6926, both Poland and Gar did it more than once. Both fired for the same shit, lol.
@@profanepersonality Idiots hahaha.
did they think, that dave's not gonna find out?

This album is where the die hards live. We love it. Casual Megadeth fans, not so much.

I totally agree, I prefer So Far, So Good.... So What. to Rust in Peace! And not the remastered shit either.
Mary Jane is one of the gems of this album in my opinion, that one and 502 should be next. This album is truly underrated you are right about that.
502 is a must. It’s the most underrated song on that entite album!!
It's basically the same song as In My Darkest Hour.
@@TheNothing6 What is? Mary Jane?
@@DingoOverlord Yes. Mary Jane and In My Darkest Hour are basically the same song structurally.
502 was the track that did it for me. This whole album is great but that song crushed it.
Hook in mouth. Considered on of the most politicly lyrical structured songs. Lyrics can stand on their own.
Fucking Tipper Gore right
Liar is an awesome track off of this also!
@@YaHUKaB_ShaRYAL_YaShaRAL whatever liar. I bet "your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your hep and AIDS." 😏 Wasn't that song written about Chris Poland?

He had a few tasty solos on "SO FAR, SO GOOD... SO WHAT!", which is the only album he appears on with Megadeth.
Greetings my friend from Las Vegas N.V.
I am a drummer by profession. I know the bass player for Megadeth. And let me explain when they recorded that record production from 88'. Excellent anthology of pure thrash Metal music old school.
Seriously underrated album. In high school my buddies and I performed In My Darkest Hour in the lip sync contest
Hell 2 the yes !
When I met Dave Mustaine in Hot lanta back in 87. They opened with this ! So Great ....
Thanks for bringing back those memories T ! 🤘😎🤘
BTW my wife let me interrupt a awesome Puscifer song "The Rapture "
U and wife should check it out!TNT from Tn.
Very awesome T great reaction my friend. Yeah very underated one of my favorite Megadeth alubum ☮️ TaTa
Missed you man. Thanks for getting back to my Megadeth. Im kinda old. You rock T & T as well. Much thanks to you both!!!
JARED!!!!!!!!
Listening to ya again. I own this but Its more fun with a badass Friend.
This is by far my favorite Megadeth album. Came out when I was a teenager. All the song are really good. 502 is one of my favs, in my darkest hour. All awesome
You watch the live 1988 in Essen version of these songs, they are awesome and Dave is angry
Dude I feel like we have the same ear when it comes to listening to this band. Hook in Mouth is a staple on my lifting playlist and Five Magics (original) is my favorite deth song if I had to pick. But all four of their first albums have left a profound mark on me musically. If this is legit your first time hearing from these albums you are in for a treat.
I hope you are going to at least one Megadeth show this year.
Up until 5th grade, I was into Kenny Rogers. That changed when I was given this album at the end of 5th grade and became a metalhead. Long live MegaDave! God bless him!
You got lucky! cause Into the Lungs of Hell is basically the intro.... and it is pretty cool....
Hook in Mouth is totally underappreciated!
TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION...HANDS UP
LYRIC VIDEO.
U my favorite reaction!!!❤️🙏✌️😊💪😝🤓😎🎸🤘
Yes your back to fucking Megadeth my 4ever band and it's 😎 you've become a megadeth fan they are just awesome looking forward to the New Album, The sick the dying and the dead you just can't go wrong with megadeth keep it up man\m/
i rememeber being in junior high and buying this on cassette when it came out. def. hook in mouth in this record is my fav. my first band played the talent show and we did Megadeth's version of Anarchy in the Uk and ended it with the ending of Metallica's song "One"
saw this tour as well.
They say your favourite albums by any band will be the ones you encountered first as a teen. I'm just really happy that So Far So Good So What was mine where Megadeth was concerned. Such a good album. Mary Jane is the standout track for me but the whole thing is golden.
Megadeth has been my favorite band since the 6th grade! I'm happy to see someone get so excited about into the lungs of hell.
Youre the man! Megadeth for life.
Best channel for volume. Megadeth and loud are synonymous. Great job T.
Dude! Your eyes at the beginning of Set The World On Fire.. YES!
Set the world afire is definitely a masterpiece.
Hook in mouth and set the world afire are in my top5 tracks.
You haven’t done foreclosure of a dream yet, for what it’s worth lol
Sleepwalker as well, that’s an amazing track.
This is my favorite album. Its so rough and gritty.
The opening of Set The World Afire are a sample from The Inkspots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire from 1941. The song was originally written in 1938 by Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus and Eddie Seiler. It was first recorded by Harlan Leonard And His Rockets three years later. The Inkspots version reached number 4 on the US pop chart. Got very popular after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The song was also used in Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76
I love how T is smiling throughout each song 90% of the videos length all while showing a little bit of grit. Love your reaction vids man 🤘keep kicking ass!
I used to go to sleep with this on my walkman as a fifteen yr old! Absolutely awesome!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎✌
Love that backwards recorded cymbal crash just before the vocals.
I love that this album reminds me of the Fallout Games even though this album predated them by several years. It also perfectly encapsulates what Megadeth is and embraces their snarky, cocky attitude (using a 50s crooner about the same subject matter before literally dropping a bomb on it to show that the oldies are dead, Megadeth is where the kids are at!) But it definitely gives an impression of nuclear war and embraces the paranoia of the cold war which was rampant in the late 80s and early 90s. Thanks for checking it out!!
I love all of Megadeth's albums but this one is about a B tier for me. I prefer the tightness and melody of albums such as Endgame and Countdown rather than the overt punk influence of this album. But this one sounds unlike any other album I've heard. The gritty slightly off key lo-fi production Gives So Far So Good So What an atmosphere like nothing else.
Recording technology improved a lot in the 90's, but I'd argue that the murky production values of a lot of lower budget 80's metal enhanced the atmosphere.
YES!!! I’m so glad there’s a new Megadeth reaction!!! You should react to the song “When”. NOBODY has reacted to that song on RUclips EVER!!! I know it’s not on So Far So Good So What, but it is an AMAZING song.
If you’re looking for another SFSGSW song, then I HIGHLY recommened 502. SEVERLY underrated song!!!
My first and favorite album of theirs, first 2 songs are just amazing.
Megadeth was and is still just awesome! Dave has amazing talent. That's why he still makes music like no one else now a days. New edge but still the old feel. Great lyrics. Riffs to make your head headbang. Try Ashes in your Mouth.
This is definitely my favorite album by megadeth. Not sure what you have heard off this album but its definitely worth a listen. I wonder if they still end every concert with anarchy in the USA lol
Hook in Mouth is super underrated and one of my favorites also! This album in general in fact is underrated! So many great tracks!!
Set the World Afire was originally titled Megadeth and Mustaine started writing it on the bus ride home from being fired by Metallica, I believe.
Great reaction!!
Chris Poland wasn't on this album, it was Jeff Young, not to nitpick lol. 🤙🏻🤘🏻
This album is amazing, glad I stumbled on you.
Scribes....love your appreciation...md def one my top bands.
I’ll check out your channel man🤘🤘🤘
The enjoyment on your face is priceless brother
On this album it was Mustaine and a guy named Jeff Young, which was his only album was MD! Killer review, this album totally slays head to toe!!
Always liked that backwards recorded cymbal crash in the beginning of Set the world afire.
This was my first Megadeth album. So underrated!!
I love how bands first start Raw and gritty when they are first learning and experimenting until they get commercialize!!
Dave said that they wanted to be the most dangerous band on the planet.
Hands down my favorite album, then Peace Sells, and finally to round out my top three Rust In Peace.
My favorite band too. They are the pinnacle.
I am glad you're back on it!
My favorite Megadeth album. Saw them on tour with Dio and Savatage in the late 80's at the Charlotte Coliseum
when it was released. WHAT A NIGHT!
this album brought me into metal...megadeth rules
I love that fact brother thx so much for the love,,, saw them live many many times
You already love my favorite song. Hook in Mouth is hands down my favorite.
When i saw "Into The Lungs Of Hell" reaction video,i knew you must be a fan.I was shocked to see these tunes being reacted to, I've seen all the usual big Megadeth tunes being reviewed..so ,great job man! Peace Sells, So Far, So Good.. and Holy Wars. My top 3. I will subscribe!!
Oh shit how'd I miss this? Been screaming for this one
This whole album is ferocious and raw, Dave is pissed here. Wait til you hear Liar! And yeah, the original mix is killer on this album. Should probably do the whole album in order, it's killer!
Probably the black sheep of the early albums, but still underrated and has some classics on it. In My Darkest Hour, Hook in Mouth, Mary Jane are other highlights.
I was a youngster and seen this tape bought it with hard eared mowing money. My walkman got a workout
LOVE this album.
Oh yes brother years ago when this album came out I brought it right after work I was up with this album all night I did not sleep it was so intense I was hocked up enough to go back to work the next day.
This is prolly my most listened to Megadeth album.
'in my darkest hour' is a hot tune.
Now im 55 years old, but when i listen to Set the world on fire, my old arthrose bones still start moving. Thx for listening.
I'm glad you reacted to this.I bought the vinyl when it came out.What a one two punch opening.The way Into the lungs...fades and goes into set the world...always seems to me like one song with two movements.Good time to discover the metal genre,alot of good shit out there.
When this album first came out , I had a six speaker Infinity sound system in my car. LOL... The looks I got at stop lights with my windows open, volume cranked all the way up!
My favorite Megadeth album. Amazing two songs that suck you in to start a masterpiece album! Great choice!
That last solo by Jeff Young on set the world afire is simply wicked. Gives me chills everytime i listen to it. I have yet to hear any other megadeth guitarist give it justice. They all do a descent job but lack that substance Jeff Young puts on it.
Was overseas when this hit!🤘
Mustaine was already driven when Metallica were starting out, his firing drove him on further still!
What a rich legacy this man has!
He fought hard for everything he has and retains his credibility as an absolute champion and founder of American Thrash Metal!🤘🔥💀
TALISMAN..MYSTERIOUS.
OFFICIAL VIDEO.
STWA, one of the hardest of their catalog, beginning is hard to match!!!✌️
Love those two tracks. The instrumental has very much an orchestral feel given the arrangement. If I'm not mistaken, this was Dave's response to Metallica's Master of Puppets release and was much anticipated. Not one weak song on this release.
This album has a very special place in my heart ❤️ even though peace sells, is my favorite album and the song which is the name of the album. I truly love so far, so good , so what. I played it more times than any other album.
Just do the whole thing! I loved peace, this one and rust... Thought dystopia was really good too...
Love this album. This one and Peace Sells were my introduction to Megadeth and will always be my favorites. Tks for bringing back some good teenage memories. Cheers!
Those two definitely wear the crown.
P.S. Go Pirates..!
I used to listen to this track cranked to the max!
Other than Youthanasias album, we share the same favorites! Five Magics and Into the Lungs of Hell are masterpieces. Marty Friedman’s lead work in Five Magics is incredible
They are touring... going to see them in August.. :) Go dude..
Coming to Denver with Lamb of God.
