Megadeth finally nails it...

Review Score: (10/10)
Like Metallica, Megadeth was known for lightning fast riffs and steady drums to hold the songs together. This kind of music played to a select group of listeners. Megadeth matured a little bit, got a new producer, slowed it down just a tad... and out comes "Countdwn to Extinction". A strong effort from start to finish. The first 6 songs rock like no other 6 songs back to back on just about any metal album. Best songs,"Foreclosure of a Dream", "This Was My Life" and "Symphany of Destruction". We all know Mustaine can't really sing... he talks more or less through the songs - but he is at his finest on "Countdown". I was never into Megadeth's old stuff in the 1980's, but the albums they put out from this one on have been pretty enjoyable. For me, this one started it all. If you own one Megadeth album or cd, this is THE one.
