Megadeth at it's best- Mustaine's brilliance shines through

Review Score: (10/10)
The early nineties was absolutly the era for great music: Metallica's Black album, Nirvana's Nevermind and Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction. While out of the three, Countdown is the worst, it is still a tremendous album that threw me head first into the world of Megadeth. With songs like Symphony of Destruction and Foreclosure of a Dream, you can easily see the reason Dave Mustaine is regarded as the genius he is. This album is a must buy for any fan of heavy metal, even if you like both Metallica and Megadeth like me.
