I'm going through the band's discography from their first album and was feeling none of their first few albums really compared to Rust in Peace and maybe that disparity would continue, but then I put this album on and I was really surprised at how it carried over the energy from Rust in Peace. I think A7X ripped the riff from Symphony of Destruction but I can't remember exactly which song it was.

I had an oversized Symphony of Destruction poster on the back of my door growing up. I just looked it up and had to laugh

1.0 awful jayt851 | June 2nd 13



This album is not thrash at all. At least the black album has some thrash songs on it. They changed their style so they could try to sell like Metallica. Megadeth are just as much of sell outs as Metallica. At least the music on the black album was good. Countdown to extinction is mostly boring. Megadeth is over rated

^Obviously don't agree this is 1.0/awful but admit it was a huge jump in style from Rust. This and black album was right at the time I was getting into metal not just glam metal so I played them endlessly att

That guy is 95% right lol. Never understood how so many people shit on Metallica for abandoning their thrash roots when megadeth did it just as hard

Thrash was going through a major upheaval and the big4 at least were trying new things, to counter the grunge explosion

Somehow old wrinkly men were a necessary part of that movement

Yeah I was talking commercially. When grunge exploded with the Seattle bands, metal was floundering. Am I wrong?

i guess it depends on *when exactly*



this album, the black album, the first 3 pantera albums were all pretty huge deals... judas priest completely reinvented themselves with painkiller in 1990 and for many its been their best album ever since. faith no more were popular, alice in chains pretty much bridged the gap between grunge and alt metal

My issue is they weren't 'countering' the grunge explosion, metal was more riding its coattails into the mainstream.

I think what I’m saying is the day Teen Spirit came on TV was the day commercially ambitious bands like Megadeth knew they had to come up with something different. Maybe I’m way off!
