Album of the Weekend

Megadeth-Rust in Peace

Another genre defining album from the greatest thrash band of all time, Megadeth "Rust in Peace" is a tour de force of incredible song after incredible song. From the opening track of "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" to the next song "Hangar 18" (probably my all time favorite song, period) to the next song "Take No Prisoners" every song on this album is a classic, bordering on iconic.

Dave Mustaine will always be one of my idols. He has struggled with loss, addiction, failure-everything bad basically-and has thrived over it. He's had personal setbacks, professional setbacks (yes, we all have had those) combined with a metal illness, drug addiction and being in the public eye. Throughout all that he's continued to write incredible music (for the most part). Combining deeply philosophical, theological and political issues while playing incredible sounding music.

Rust in Peace is the greatest Megadeth album of all time, which means it's the greatest trash album from the greatest trash band ever. A must have.
