'메탈은 너무 시끄러워~' 라는 내 생각을 텃밭에서 무 뽑듯이 통째로 뽑아버렸던 메가데스의 초초초초 명반
개인적으로 80년대의 메탈보단 90년도의 메탈이 더욱 완성도 있이 느껴진달까..
큰 집에서 이 LP 실물을 처음 보았을때의 기억이 아직도 난다. 알게 된 후 항상 내 귓구멍을 책임졌던 r i p

한마디로 그냥 허를 찔렸다. 이런 음악을 어떻게 만들었지? 인간은 참 대단한 동물이다.. 인간되기 참 어렵소..

제일 좋아하는 메가데스 음반 중 하나. 앨범 자켓이 너무 마음에 듭니다. LP로 소장하고 싶은 1순위 앨범이에요. 연주 및 보컬이 가장 전성기라고 느껴지는 앨범입니다. 마티 프리드먼 솔로 보다 머스테인 솔로를 더 좋아하는데, 수록곡 중 Holy wars, five magics, rust in peace 곡 연주하는게 가장 재미있었어요. 기타 실력을 갈고 닦아 take no prisoners 와 Lucretia 곡을 완곡하는 것이 목표입니다.

¿Megadeth? Es gooooood, es goooooood. ?Megadeth? Es gooooood, es goooooood. Es como la perfección en si misma un orgullo auditivo, que uno experimenta para toparse con varios sentimientos de excitación gracias a los grandilocuentes solos de guitarra que la banda sabe brindar. Básicamente, una joya del metal, compuesta por varias canciones, que en solitario, saben defenderse muy bien y que juntos, son la más poderosa pieza, para poner en jaque esta crítica en si. Por lo tanto, podemos decir que Megadeth es GOD tier.

Absolutely perfect thrash metal if you are into the more adventurous stuff bordering on technical/prog but not too nerdy. This is the perfect Megadeth lineup who also recorded Symphony of Destruction and Euthanasia. Rust is not radio friendly like those albums, but not as raw as the stuff from the 80s. To me, this is the perfect balance - technical - precise, but still adventurous and heavy. Sometimes I like badly produced, raw stuff like Venom, but this better produced sound hits just right for Megadeth. Mustaine's vocals are "good singing" in any classical sense, but they fit this music just right.

Avoid the remastered version at all costs. Get your hands on an original copy from 1990 on CD for the best sound quality.

Nothing Megadeth did in the 80’s really struck me as all that amazing (no, not even Peace Sells…) but Rust in Peace is almost as incredible as the legends tell.

Megadeth has long avoided my praise due half to Dave’s poor vocals and lyricism and half to the total absence of real feeling in the otherwise impressive playing. Here, the band improve their already strong technique to enter Tech Thrash territory at times, but much more importantly they add a heavy dose of intelligent and evocative melodies that serve the song instead of simply showcase talent. The first few tracks have earworm riffs for days, just galloping one after another, only stopping for equally fantastic solos.

Dave’s vocals aren’t good here, however, he has found the sweet spot in making them work with the music, and most of the time they work really well. Holy Wars is the best example, as he switches between angry snarling about government, to a rough, desperate croon that actually sounds pained when playing the role of The Punisher lamenting what he’s been through. His voice doesn’t always hit right, but here it works much better and more often than anything they’d done prior. The lyrics range from very good to not so great, but they almost always manage to be better than the shallow words of their 80’s output.

There’s so much energy and good technique that even the weaker songs on the album are quite good. However, it is certainly a glaring weakness that side A is so, so much ... See More

'Beauty and the Beast'

2집이 괴수와 야수가 기이한 분위기를 내며 날뛰었다면, 4집은 미녀와 야수다.

1번 트랙. 인트로 부분은 언제나 내 심장을 콩닥거리게 한다. 후반부 솔로에서 머스테인의 짐승미를 느낄 수 있다. 4분 38초부터 시작이다. 4분 59초에 취하기 시작하고 5분 5초부터 끝내주는 폭발! 하지만 더 큰 폭발이 있었으니, 5분 20초부터 5분 42초까지의 머스테인의 죽여주는 솔로잉!

2번 트랙.
타이틀과 너무 어울리는 분위기. 2분 49초부터 시작이다. 3분 41초부터 그다음 폭발을 기다리며 긴장한다. 그 폭발은 4분 57초에 시작되는데, 여기까지의 전개가 또 예술이다. 그리고 4분 57초엔 기타의 분노 후, 군더더기 없는 마무리.

3번 트랙.
처음부터 죽인다. 1분 37초에 베이스 죽인다. 박자를 가지고 놀며 계속 달린다.

4번 트랙.
처음부터 좀 처진다. 하지만 3분 24초부터 긴장하다가, 'I master five magics' 이 가사 부분을 기다리게 된다. 4분 47초부터 지리기 시작한다. (4분 57초의 쾌감!) 그리고 마지막까지 숨 막히는 질주.

5번 트랙.
베이스로 시작되는 긴장감은 언제나 날 미치게 한다. 56초부터의 질주감에 취한다. 2분 5초의 'Taste me!'는 이 곡의 하이라이트! 미친듯한 곡의 리듬감을 따라가다 보면 어느새 곡이 끝나있다.

6번 트랙 ... See More

1990년 당시 나는 국민학교 5학년이었고, 그때 다섯살 터울인 친형이 고등학생 이었는데 수입CD를 어렵게 구해서 처음들었던 기억이 난다. 그때 당시 Holy wars를 처음 듣고 충격받은 기억이 지금도 생생하다. 36년이 흘렀지만 이 앨범은 아직도 종종 듣는다. 지금의 나보다 훨씬 어렸던 패기넘치던 머스테인의 음악은 그렇게 전설이 되었다.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Rust In Peace is the best of all time, but it is undoubtedly one of the best in its genre and above all a very versatile and entertaining album. Mustaine is a terrible singer, really, but that's not a problem. Stylish cover art, I really like it.

A good album if you like me, it's incredibly overrated and so is Megadeth as a whole for me but that's alright. It's groovy it's fast and it's catchy, i can see why so many people enjoy this album as its palatable to a wide variety of tastes, I might listen again but not sure, I'll certainly not skip if one f the songs comes up in my playlist though.

경외감이 느껴지는 앨범이다.. 2번 트랙 솔로행진 파트일때는 프리드먼과 머스테인이 나를 조롱하는 망상까지 돌아버린다. 믹스는 90년 앨범임에도 보편화 되어있는 공격적인 사운드로 되진 않았다. 모든 악기가 잘 들림에도 이 앨범이 주는 몰입감은 플레이스탑 버튼을 누를 수 없게 만든다.

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다.
