Album Rating: 4.0
Endgame rated higher than this? Laughable. Killing is my Business is better than Endgame in every way. More memorable riffs, killer drumming, aggressive leads, good vocals, and punchy bass. The only negative thing that can be said about this album is that it's not Peace Sells. The guitars are mixed low, but with a good setup, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. There is also a remastered version for the whiners.
Album starts off with 'Last Rites/Loved To Death' and while it isn't Megadeth's best opener, it still has some sick signature Mustaine riffing. The drumming on this track is great.
Next up is the title track which is an absolute masterpiece. Incredible riffage, sick solo, and killer bass throughout.
Skull Beneath The Skin is thrash in its purest form. More praise to the drumming.
Looking Down The Cross is another stellar track that starts off very eerie, followed by a moody bass line and a creepy lead. Catchy chorus and solid lyrics. It's a shame Dave can't write songs like this anymore.
Chosen Ones is another choice cut.
Great debut.

The production in the original isn't bad, but the guitars are too low in the mix. The bass and drums are manly asf though. The remix from 2002 is good too.

Countdown to Extinction is the only album by these guys that I've heard so far that I can't get into. This, Peace Sells, and Rust in Peace all rule hard though.

Idk about that, the shortness of this album works in its favour

Thrash isnt meant to be long

Exactly, 30 - 45 mins is an ideal length for a thrash release IMO
