Perhaps one of the greatest debuts of all time. At the time Dave Mustaine wrote these songs
he was at his angriest, and you can definitely hear that on the riffs, the lyrics and the
snarling he calls singing. With this album, more specifically Mechanix, (which is a song he
wrote while he was in Metallica, who released a slower and simpler version of the song and
called it 'The Four Horsemen') Dave proved once and for all that he doesn't need Metallica
and that ultimately he is the king of thrash. |
