FFS, Rust In Peace is thrash. No doubt about that. The rffing, drumming, soloing all constitute to it being thrash.

Yeah, agreed. The riffing is just so fast and technical that it doesn't have that Slayer-esque sound which usually defines thrash.

This album blow my mind from the first notes

Just...AMAZING ALBUM!!!...Mustaine, Menza, Friedman and Ellefson ¡¡¡SE LAS MANDARON!!!

Another cd to burn out my stereo... i hate the remix album but still own the tape ... sadly seems it wasn't fit for better mixing ... but my opinion

I own both the remix/remaster and the original album and I agree with you. The original is vastly superior to the remix/remaster.

Even though it is still one of my all-time favourite thrash albums (althought there are some nimwits here on MS who say it is not thrash )

Hmmmm. I wouldn't go as far as "pure thrash" but it's got some thrashy elements to it. Imo this is almost an early bridge between metal and like a progressive death metal. There are some really slick time changes going on throughout and it never really lets up. It's more than metal and it's not quite thrash. When I think thrash I immediately think of Nuclear Assault's Game Over, Stormtroopers of Death, earlier Slayer up to and including Reign in Blood. Megadeth's Peace Sells is pretty much thrash, but Rust in Peace crosses a boundry somewhere between metal, thrash, power, and progressive concepts. We could just forgo the 15 adjectives needed to describe it (and the rest) and just call it metal...

Hey, men of Progressive Death Metal, I know everyone has his opinion but this is real thrash metal men, i wouldn't call progressive death metal even to a possible future heavy metal album of Megadeth! Men, that's is deny the existence of Thrash metal in my opinion... That's one of the best peace of work i've ever heard of metal men, and i've really heard excelent music like many headbangers men! Heavy Metal rules men!

One of the greatest metal albums ever made. All songs on this CD are masterpieces. And Megadeths finest lineup also imo.

Agreed. I also grew up with the band having that lineup, which is another reason I have a lot of affection for it. Dave should never have fired Nick, he was an amazing drummer.

This album is just amazing. Each song is unique and awesome; the solos, the riffs, the lyrics, just amazing.

Ok trolls, don't get pissed but I think Peace Sells AND So Far are much better than this release. Not sure what all the hub-bub is about. A top album of all-time? Not even close...Does anyone else feel this album is a bit overrated?

I do find it a good album but find Peace Sells way better because of the raw edge to it. Here Megadeth already started to sound too produced and slick.
So far is only better with one side of the album. What puts So far down for me is the terrible cover of Anarchy In The UK.

Agreed Marcel. Peace Sells feels more "heavier" - if you get my meaning - the production on Rust feels too "processed", too overdone...

oh goodie, dolby 5.1 surround sound Hanger 18....yeay!!!

Well Megadeth is my favorite band, i like all albums, but Rust in Peace, was my first album to listen, and i just come in shock, beacuse it was a master peace..so even, there is other album so good as this, this album for me is the best, better that any album of metallica..sorry but is my opinion...kiss

This album defines perfection. Not a single mistake. Everything is done finely, from great thrashy riffs, to billions of amazing solos, and the ever present bass.... Deserves to be #1 on the Metal Storm top 200.

Good album.
Nice riffs

Yeah its incredible... deserves spot #1....great riffs and so catchy

Great album, but doesn't have the balls that Peace Sells does. it's non-threatening thrash.

Exactly, it misses that rough biting edge which is peresent on Peace Sells. There Dave still sounds really angry. And also the instrumentation is less slick.

This album is masterpiece! Fast riffs, great solos and best line up in Megadeth ever!

Rust In Peace is amazing, but it dosn't top peace sells.

Great album! Love it!

Well, obviously this does not have as much of a bite as Peace Sells, but in my opinion that is what makes THIS album so great, compared to hundreds of other great "raw" thrash albums. I mean I wouldn't want to listen to this all the time, but the slick production, and the bigger focus on technicality and complexity than on rawness and speed is what makes this such a great album IMO. I mean, there were a lot of great thrash bands in the 80's obviously, but it seems to me that only ONE band reallllly had the firepower to write and perform stuff like Hangar 18, Lucretia, or Tornado of Souls. I mean, in my opinion, this is a one of a kind album. I realize that none of this means that it is necessarily a GOOD album, but that is up to the listener. I am simply saying of course this doesn't have the raw bite as hundreds of other thrash records, BUT it's not supposed to either.

Megadeth Rullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls \m/

Kinda the best thing I've ever heard and likely ever will hear, and I'm okay with that, because Rust In Peace is just that good.

How can 21 peoples rate it with an 1?

Mostly vote abuse, although one or two of those people probably think it's a piece of shit.

I think it's one of Megadeth's best albums and I wouldn't give it more than a 7.

Its a God's favorite album! Everytime you listen it feels like to put a fucking repeat option on all songs.
