Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally conceived as a Dave Mustaine solo project following the band's temporary dissolution due to his arm injury, the album evolved into a formal Megadeth release. Featuring session work from original lead guitarist Chris Poland, the record successfully resurrects the complex, politically charged thrash metal intensity of the band's 1990s peak.
