Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
1986 was like the landmark year for Thrash Metal, I mean come on we saw Darkness Descends, Reign In Blood, Master of Puppets and of course the best of the bunch: Megadeth's first fantastic release, the sublime Peace Sells… But Who's Buying f course overshadowed by Slayer and Metallica when really it shouldn't be - in all honesty the song-writing shown here is nigh on perfect. Slayer might have had the speed and Metallica might have the record sales but neither can match the genius of Dave Mustaine. Following on from their quite horribly produced yet still charming debut release Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, who would have thought they would have hit us with such a corker so early in their career, although to be fair Mustaine's knack for songwriting had been noticeable since he did the rounds with Metallica. One of the immediate strong points of this release is Mustaine's youthful voice, which when compared to the vocals on say, Countdown to Extinction, you can really notice a difference, much in the way you can notice a difference between James Hetfield when comparing Ride… and Justice…
