Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by Dave Mustaine鈥檚 snarling vocals and intricate, incredibly fast guitar wizardry, 'Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?' is a highly technical monument of thrash metal. The album features a noticeably thick, heavy production that perfectly underscores its sarcastic, politically charged critiques of cold war paranoia and religious hypocrisy. It solidified Megadeth as one of the premier, fiercely aggressive forces in extreme music.
