So Far So Good So What

What are your thoughts on this Megadeth album?

It's been a regular spinner for me for the last five days.

Amazing Thrash

Love the album, very very underatted. Its got some amazing songs on it. Everyone always seems to talk about In My Darkest Hour, and Set The World Afire, of which both are very awesome songs but all the others get overlooked. I really love Mary Jane, really spooky, and really kick ass song with heaps of twists and turns like a lot of the songs off KIMB imo. I love the pure anger in Liar, you can really feel Daves anger. From a vocal standpoint I think its one of Daves strongest showings his snarl is as prominent as ever. I pretty much love every song on this album

I love that album. It's my fav by Megadeth. Not their best musically, but it reminds me of when I first got into metal. One of the first metal album my dad got me \m/
The only song I don't care much for is the Sex Pistols cover but other that that, it's awesome.

I much prefer the original mix compared to the remastered version. Everything sound flat as hell on the remaster and the original just sounds more organic. Fair enough, it's drenched in reverb (lol) but it's awesome!

SET THE WORLD AFIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Yes I agree, defintely not there best technically, but very raw and angry! Yes I prefere the original too, and that goes for the entire megadeth catalogue, cant beat the original

It's generally pretty good, but not one of my favourites. 'Hook In Mouth' and 'Liar' are underrated classics though.

I love the original mix of the album. That new mix that Dave released a few years ago with the "orchestration" turned up in the opening track really takes away from the heaviness of the song IMO.

I like it, but it's not my favorite Megadeth album.

This is me too.I like the darkness of the album and really dig songs like My Darkest Hour,Mary Jane,and Liar but its far from my favorite.

Great record.

Probably my favorite Megadeth. Might have been the first 'deth album I purchased as a young lad, so that probably has something to do with it.

Its one of the few Megadeth albums I dont have

A great album and one I used to spin alot back in the day. Not my favorite Megadeth but close to it.

me like

This is my favorite Megadeth album! Every song on it is top knotch!

I really dig it. One of my favorite songs is "502."

I think this is my favorite DETH disc.

Amazing thrash album, what else can you say?

Fantastic album ! If you don't have it , you should get it. It's a must-have

I'm not comparing at all. It's just not as great as many claim. Opinion alert! Maybe, had I heard it when it came out, my opinion would be different.

So how should it be rated in your view, if you think it is overrated? That is my question.

Hmmm, I would have thought if anything, this album was underrated in the Megadeth catalog. But hey, just one asshat's opinion.

I've always enjoyed, yet always failed no matter how many times I've heard it, to sing along with the fast part of 'Liar'...

Start trouble, spread pain
Piss and venom, in your veins
Talk nasty, breathe fire
Smell rotten, you're a liar
Sweat liquor, breathe snot
Eat garbage, spit blood
Diseased, health hazard
Scum bag, filthy b*stard
Greasy face, teeth decay
Hair matted, drunk all day
Abscessed, sunken veins
Rot gut, scrambled brain
Steal money, crash cars
Rob jewelry, hock guitars
Rot in hell, it's time you know
To your master, off you go

It's a solid album. On a scale of 10, I'd give it a 6.
