Best thrash album ever?
Yes. Yes it is. I held off buying this for a very long time thinking it was the "remixed" vocals version which I am NOT a fan of. Best news all week... It's the original vocals! Maybe it's been remastered, but at least the vocal tracks are the same used in the original release and not the ones Dave re-recorded during a fever dream. A true masterpiece.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Upon my podium as the "know-it-all" scholar...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Thirty-five years on, Rust in Peace remains a towering monolith in the pantheon of metal—an album so surgically precise and relentlessly creative that it feels like it was forged in a lab where aggression and intellect were fused into one unstoppable force.

    From the opening machine-gun riff of “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due,” it’s clear Megadeth weren’t here to just thrash—they were here to outthink, outplay, and outclass. Dave Mustaine, a virtuoso on the edge, delivers some of the most complex and ferocious guitar work ever committed to tape. His partnership with then-new lead guitarist Marty Friedman is lightning in a bottle—equal parts chaos and elegance, their solos often feel more like battles than mere musical passages.

    But it’s not just about technical prowess. The songwriting on Rust in Peace is razor-sharp. Tracks like “Hangar 18” and “Tornado of Souls” (featuring what many consider Friedman’s magnum opus of a solo) are intricate without ever being indulgent, heavy without losing melody, and politically and socially charged without sounding preachy. Even deep cuts like “Take No Prisoners” and “Five Magics” pack enough riffage and tempo changes to fuel entire albums for lesser bands.

    Lyrically, Mustaine blends dystopian paranoia, militaristic imagery, and sci-fi weirdness into a strangely coherent worldview that perfectly suits the manic energy of the music. Whether he’s calling out corrupt institutions or imagining alien conspiracies, he does it all with a snarl and a sneer that’s unmistakably his.

    With Nick Menza’s thunderous drumming and David Ellefson’s tight bass lines anchoring the madness, the entire band is locked in with clockwork precision, yet they never lose that vital sense of danger that defines classic thrash.

    Rust in Peace is not just Megadeth’s crowning achievement—it’s one of the greatest metal albums of all time. It’s the gold standard for technical thrash, an album that bridges aggression with artistry, fury with finesse. Perfectly paced, flawlessly executed, and eternally relevant, it doesn’t just stand the test of time—it shatters it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Takes A While To Grow On You But Megadeth's Best Album Is Now In MLPS Format!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I first heard Megadeth on "Countdown To Extinction" which still is my favourite album of theirs but prior to the well-deserved "sell-out" that led to their lucrative payday "Rust In Peace" took thrash metal to another dimension crucially because of the addition of new but brilliant guitarist Marty Friedman. Dave Mustaine having once been associated with Metallica which I believe to be the greatest metal band ever with Iron Maiden coming in a close second I guess continued comparisons between the two "M"s are inevitable and to me "Rust In Peace" is to "Ride the Lightning" as "Countdown To Extinction" is to "The Black Album" and just as in "Ride the Lightning" it took me a few listens to better appreciate the work it took a few listens for me to realise just how good "Rust In Peace" is at least musicianship-wise; I still don't like much of Mustaine's lyrics and really singing about alien conspiracies leaves me cold when I compare that with the more meaty and real-life meaningful lyrics of the vast majority of Metallica's pre-"Load" of crap albums.

    Still, this is a very good thrash album and fans are in for a treat here in this the mini-lp replica sleeve (mlps) version of the album. The mlps design in itself isn't that great as I've seen much better designs and overall assembly but the inner jacket sleeve is well done coming with an insert with all the lyrics in both English and Japanese but most importantly with a short write-up by Dave Mustaine himself about the album which was a nice treat. The all important sound quality is very good having been adequately remastered for an improved sound over the original cd release. The bonus tracks also add to the overall enjoyment of the album not being mindless afterthought fillers:

    10. My Creation
    11. Rust In Peace...Polaris (Demo)
    12. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (Demo)
    13. Take No Prisoners (Demo)

    While I enjoyed the tracks on the next album a lot better I have to admit that overall musicianship-wise as an all-out thrash album this is not only Megadeth's best album but it is also among the top 20 metal albums of all time and would rank even higher if the lyrics on some tracks were stronger. Still it is no accident that both this and "Countdown ..." are my favorite Megadeth albums and that Marty Friedman played his ass off on both albums; what a great guitarist!

    Ok mlps design, very good content and good sound quality makes this an easy review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Magnum opus of Megadeth.
    Reviewed in India on February 23, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Although Peace Sells had established Megadeth as a name in the thrash metal scene, things were about to change for even better when the band hired Marty Friedman as the lead guitarist.

    The viciously technical playing by Friedman combined with Mustaine's sinister songwriting and brutal guitar work made Rust in Peace an epitome of a classic heavy metal record and ensured it is included in almost every applicable list.

    Although the most popular tunes from this record are Holy Wars and Hangar 18, for me it is Tornado of Souls that steals the show. Driven by Friedman's second to none vibrato, it contains one of the greatest guitar solos ever composed, in my opinion.

    As for the CD, the only concern is that the cost could be better. That would ensure more people are keen in getting their hands on these gems. Rest it was in great shape and delivery was on time. Sound quality is crystal clear.

    Of course - as followers and fans of metal and its history knows, this is one of the best albums in Megadeth's catalog. This is probably the 4th time I've bought this CD. But the quality is much better than the original and as a person who still enjoys having a physical format (CD, DVD, LP, etc) for my entertainment - I'm truly appreciative of this seller, selling a product with the CD, it's case, and the inserts fully intact as in the days of CD's height of popularity.

    This CD was packaged very well and the only incident I had was that two little pieces of plastic broke of the center. But otherwise the product is fully intact and the quality of the CD is impeccable (although I was a little disappointed in the lack of artwork on the CD itself, like my original) .... and I'm happy to get a proper CD, case and inserts fully intact and in good shape.

    5.0 out of 5 stars El albúm de Speed/Thrash definitivo, buena edición remasterizada
    Reviewed in Spain on October 6, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Primero de todo, se trata de la versión remasterizada del álbum, y tengo una opinión impopular: realmente no me desagrada, es más, me gusta. He leído cosas fuera de proporción, como si fuera una basura infesta, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. El CD original tenía una calidad de sonido pobre, y un volumen extremadamente bajo, incluso para la época. El CD remasterizado tiene bastante mejor sonido y producción, eso es así. La batería, aunque en ciertas ocasiones puede sonar "sintética", es mucho más poderosa que en la versión original, la cual no tenía demasiado impacto. Además el bajo es más audible en esta nueva versión, se aprecia más el trabajo de Ellefson. Tiene ciertas pegas, por supuesto, por ejemplo las vocales de "Five Magics" son superiores en el original en mi opinión, así como el "bass break" del min 1:35 de "Take No Prisoners" pero a mi personalmente tampoco me afecta mucho. Otra cosa es si escuchas el vinilo de la producción original, aunque se sigue escuchando algo bajo, la calidad de sonido es muy buena, mejor que el CD, incluso yo podría preferir el vinilo del disco original.

    En lo que respecta al álbum, que decir que no se haya dicho ya, para mi el "magnum opus" del thrash metal, y del metal en general, donde Megadeth alcanzó unas cuotas de tecnicismo y epicidad muy altas. Cada riff, cada solo son dignos de mención, es un álbum que se acerca a la perfección, es una gozada escuchar esa intro de Holy Wars o Hangar 18, escuchar el virtuosismo de Marty Friedman en canciones como Tornado Of Souls o Lucretia, con unos solos de guitarra que pocos podrían soñar realizar, el bajo siempre cumplidor del señor Ellefson, un bajista que pocas veces se tiene en cuenta, pero que es de muy alto nivel, Nick Menza y su batería aplastante, y como no, Dave Mustaine, el amo y señor de la banda, que con esta obra finalmente superó a sus ex-compañeros de Metallica, que en mi opinión no han llegado nunca al nivel de este álbum, a pesar de haber realizado muy buenos trabajos. Un indispensable, un "must have" para cualquier amante del metal en general. Incluso si no te gusta el género en si, tampoco estaría de más una escucha, simplemente para apreciar el talento que desprende esta banda en este álbum en particular. Un clásico para la posteridad.
