Album of the weekend

Megadeth-The World Needs a Hero

Megadeth, the greatest thrash band of all time, is more remembered for it's early albums from the mid 80's to early nineties. Killing is my Business and Business is Good is correctly known as one of the greatest thrash albums ever recorded. So are Peace Sells, Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction. They lost a step during the late 90's with some weak albums like Risk and Cryptic Writings and like the time in the 2000's before Dystopia just came out (Endgame, Thirteen and Super Collider are mediocre at best, Dystopia is superb) many people thought they were done as a band.

The World Needs a Hero is another five star, outstanding album by the masters of thrash. "Moto Psycho" and "Recipe for Hate...Warhorse" are the best two songs on the album, on par with the songs on Peace Sells and Countdown. The complexity and difficulty of Megadeth songs are legendary and they are a joy to listen too. It's like watching Leonardo Da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa in it's musical form.
