A sobered-up Mustaine returns with yet another lineup, this one featuring ex-Cacophony guitar virtuoso Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza, for what is easily Megadeth’s strongest musical effort. As Metallica was then doing, Mustaine accentuates the progressive tendencies of his compositions, producing rhythmically complex, technically challenging thrash suites that he and Friedman burn through with impeccable execution and jaw-dropping skill. Thanks to Mustaine’s focus on the music rather than his sometimes clumsy lyrics, Rust in Peace arguably holds up better than any other Megadeth release, even for listeners who think they’ve outgrown heavy metal. While the whole album is consistently impressive, the obvious highlight is the epic, Eastern-tinged “Hangar 18.

“Baker’s clear-cut, punchy mix is a breath of fresh air after the confusing array of dubious remixes on Megadeth’s previous reissues.”
– Craig Hayes, PopMatters
Countdown to Extinction is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on July 14, 1992, through Capitol Records. It was the group’s second studio release to feature the “classic” lineup of Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, David Ellefson and Nick Menza, with all of them contributing to songwriting on the album. The album features some of the band’s best known songs such as “Symphony of Destruction”, “Sweating Bullets”, and “Skin o’ My Teeth”, which enjoyed significant chart success and made a great musical impact.
Countdown to Extinction was the album that put Megadeth on the commerical map, a gateway album for many, and significant contribution to the metal canon. This 20th anniversary reissue is remastered by Tom Baker whose ear for precision breathes new life into this important album.
