Love that album. The rhythm guitar to the title track is one of my favorite things ever, and "Last Rites/Loved to Deth" is glorious for its nearly unrivaled rage (not to mention that the lyrics are clearly a thinly-veiled attack on his previous band).

An interesting bit of trivia about "These Boots" is that the song was dropped from some releases of the album, and some of the lyrics censored on the remastered version, due to the writer of the original being offended by Mustaine's lyrical changes...

"You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best"

vs.

"You keep saying you got something for me
Some things you call love, but I call sex
You've been kissing when you ought-a-be-a
Screwing and now someone else can kiss your ass"
