Megadeth-Countdown to extinction(review)



This album is for Megadeth gold. After hard album Rust in peace they recorded more majestic and easy songs with lyrics about politics, anti-war, personal problems or own stories. Megadeth started compose songs typical for them. In this album I see very admirable performance of all members.
Nick Menza's very great drums, Marty Friedman plays so good solos, I think he was the best guitarist for Megadeth in '90.
Marty and Dave with guitars makes very excellent riffs, melodies and solos.
And bassguitar by David Elefson is procession with them.
The best known song is "Symphony of destruction" with strong and inimitable riff. This song is most played at Megadeth concerts.
And still sounds awesome.
"Skin o' my teeth" has funny riff with great vocals.
"Architecture of aggression" is a typical aggressive song, one of my favorite,
"Foreclosure of a dream" is mysterious, "Sweating bullets" has strong intro and confusing atmosphere, "This was my life" is one of harder songs with inspiring lyrics, "Countdown to extinction" has majestic, excellent refrain, solo. Very epic.
"High speed dirt" is dirty thrash song, "Psychotron" cyborg song, great riffs, aggressive vocal, bright refrain, "Captive honour" has attractive intro with interesting refrain, "Ashes in your mouth" is the song with seriously intro, refrains, in the middle is very pretty solo, one of the best from Megadeth. Simply successful album.
