Growing up, I was a huge Metallica fan, so I kinda avoided Megadeth because of all the history. I was a kid, I thought that I was supposed to hate them. Until one day, when I listened to this record, and my perception completely changed. I was fascinated by every song, every riff, every solo, and I was just learning to play guitar so it was mindblowing for me. Dave's vocals are not the best, but they work great for his music so that's what matters. But Marty, when I heard those solos for the first time I was starstruck. His playing on this record is just top notch. And everyone really, this was the golden era of Megadeth. Some of the best and most unique players out there, but for me, being a guitarist, Marty was an insanely huge inspiration. Perfect record from start to finish! I would give this a 5 anytime.
