On the third release from Megadeth there has been some
changes in the band's line-up. From the time of the Peace sells...but
who's buying? release only Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson still remain
in the band. The drummer Gar Samuelson has been replaced by Chuck Behler and
guitarist Chris Poland by Jeff Young. These two were not to stay too long in
the band either and this is the only release where they got a chance to play.
The real brain behind the band is of course Dave Mustaine who writes most of
the music and lyrics (some of it together with David Ellefson). He also
produced the album together with Paul Lani. The new band members seems to be
doing a good job on this album and the music sounds pretty much like their
previous album - fast, aggressive and melodic metal with great vocals by the
unique voice of Mustaine. The lyrics are a lot better than on the first two
releases which shows that the band is becoming a little bit more mature. Now
the lyrics aren't about murder, violence and sourcery anymore but instead
about nuclear warfare, human emotions and governmental manipulation and
control. Although it's a very good album it's still very short like the
first two ones with eight songs but one of them is instrumental and another
one is a cover version of Anarchy in the U.K. Unfortunately that brings
the grades down a little.
