Megadeth were not really that heavy in comparison to the other extreme metal acts but they were damn fast and technical and great at what they did and you either loved or hated Dave's voice. You'd probably had been better off reviewing the album after this Countdown to Extinction, an album better suited to your ears as its more commercial in most aspects.

You know, I don't find this too heavy at all. No moreso than Maiden or Saxon or Motorhead anyway. I also would not have considered this Extreme Metal: I thought that was more Slayer, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth etc ?I did think that perhaps I should have saved this for my Classic Albums journal, but sure, by then it was already posted. Decent album. I don't know Megadeth or Metallica, other than reputation, simply because they've never appealed to me that much. But compared to the Black Album for instance I would certainly cite Mega over Met, or Dave over James definitely. Could be an interesting comparison .... hey, now there's an idea! Wheels turning, wheels turning....
