Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A solid vitriol filled effort from the bands earlier periodI've had this album in one form or another since it came out in the 80's, so I've had plenty of time to listen to it, and I've come to this conclusion: This is one of Megadeth's angriest and fastest albums, if Pantera defines heavy metal agression, Megadeth defines the heavy metal tantrum. The riffs are complex, the beats are fast, and the songs are hard and angry. Make no mistake though - this is a very technical group of songs played well by virtuoso musicians. The writing isn't quite up to par with later work on "Rust in Peace" and "Symphony of Destruction" - there are no single songs that blow me away. All of the songs follow a similar pattern of building up from a slow intro more often then not into a thrash ... Read More: Rating: - Yeah, the remastering/mixing sucks... but it's still their bestMegadeth at their raw, drugged out, punky and pissed off best. "Killing Is My Business..." is rawer, but a little too raw... the songs are there, just not as fleshed out and polished up as they needed to be for repeat listening. "So Far..." has some of the single best 'deth songs, but the duds kill it as an album. And the mighty "Rust" is a little too robotic and polished... On "Peace", Dave was still drugged out and pissed off... the music may be metal, but the attitude is almost pure punk fury. The song "Peace Sells" almost serves as a single song definition of metal in the mid-'80s... who DOESN'T get an evil little smirk just hearing the opening bass line? Worst feature... Chris Poland's guitar tone on leads. Yeah, ... Read More: Rating:  - Remastered took the fun out of the albumI'm reviewing the remastering of this album. Megadeth certainly isn't one of my favorite bands, nor is Metallica. I listen to them every now and then, but that's really it. Why should you care? Well, you shouldn't. haha but seriously, Megadeth never got the critical acclaim Metallica did. Also the musicianship of Metallica is far superior to Megadeth. Metallica have a tightness about the way they play together. Now I think that Kirk Hammett is overated, but even so Metallica is a much better band. What sets Megadeth apart is their sound. Metallica always sounded very polished, but Megadeth had a very crass sounding. The guitars were always overily distorted and angry, the drums sound flat but absolutely shred and Dave's voice is in the ... Read More: Rating: - Solid remastering effort for a timeless albumPeace Sells might be recognized in history as Megadeth's coming-out party. The band's debut album did well for an independent label, but upon graduating to Capitol Records, Megadeth had become a force to be reckoned with in the thrash metal genre. Peace Sells is the first album of that saga. In 2004, Peace Sells got a well-deserved makeover. Some welcome additions are the fattening of Gar Samuelson's drums and David Ellefson's bass. Together, the rhythm section as a whole sounds beefier, thicker. Nuances of Samuelson's tasteful, jazz-inspired playing are heard just as they were recorded in the studio. Ellefson's bass lines are also given a boost in the lower frequencies, but perhaps are unnecessarily loud in the intro to "My Last Words". ... Read More: Rating:  - Peace Sells...But Which Is Worse?(the 1986 original) Jeez, I don't know who sounds worse, Mark Slaughter or Dave Mustaine. Both of 'em sound like they've either had their vocal chords cut, or been huffing on the helium too much. In fact, Slaughter sounds like a girl while Mustaine sounds like Donald Duck. Quack Quack Quack... Quack Quack Quack... Quack Quack Quack... I'll give it two stars for the riffs, but decent riffs can't save a turkey like Megadeath. At least Dave's vocals have improved over the years. Not on this Disney cartoon. |
