They're used as short transitions in almost every track, they also at times take the place of a verse, and in no way does it ever disappoint. I've already touched on this a little bit, but solos are used as more than just breaks from the vocals. I mean really, can anyone turn down that buzzing bridge that connects the start of the song to the meat of these few minutes? Of course, the more famous "Tornado Of Souls" is probably what comes to mind most of the time, and that one certainly does everything justice too.Īnother advanced technique beyond all of the shifts in tone and lack of generic assery is the placement of the solos along with standout moments on the bass being everywhere. "Take No Prisoners" is a great example, possibly being the best track on here. You need those speedballs of angry energy and more accessible, as well as shorter tunes. If it all did this though, it wouldn't be as special. Personally, I believe the title track does that even better, with the famous drum intro and steady yet speedy bulk of the song, fading into a mean neck puncher of an album closer. The Punishment Due" is the obvious contender for this, shifting time signatures and rhythm patterns left and right. For starters, the track layout doesn't follow any templates, not even the short bass heavy marching tune known as "Dawn Patrol".
That's right, this utilizes punky attitudes and heated messages, builds off of suspense, and evenly distributes stripped down simplicity along with progressive aspects, and I think anyone could agree that this is the closest Megadeth ever came to prog.
MEGADETH RUST IN PEACE HOLLYWOOD FULL
Never mind the fact that the Friedman/Menza duo was in full form, it's the craftmanship of the previous musicians that make this beast what it is, and without them, our 1990 lineup wouldn't be able to draw from them. And why would I mention that crushing ear splitter from 1978 in a Rust In Peace review? Because that track title describes exactly what Dave and co. The famous, heavy metal closer from the self titled Van Halen album is another entity to compare this to. Except there's no worrying about any egos with publicly playing Megadeth's finest work (although who cares about that anyway?). Mostly, it's because it takes every single element that made the previous three records great, extracted those tactics, and blended them into a perfect beverage, like the greatest girly drink on an island vacation that you've ever had. Yeah nothing new, right? But that's the way I justify this being the number one thrash metal record ever made. This song goes by the title "Poison Was The Cure", and it just so happens to be the worst track on the world famous record known as Rust In Peace. Nicely pieced together, no real flaws, and an overall great song.
Picture a short, single track that barely comes to three minutes, is packed with speed metal fury, managing to cram in an intro, a worthwhile body, and a solid outro.
