It would be very hard to stuff up a Megadeth greatest hits album. Most of the tracks suggest themselves. Of course, you wouldn’t fit them all onto one disc, so more will miss out than will (or did) actually make it. Still, no harm done. This album does a pretty good job of covering every era of the band. The songs you would expect are there - “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due”, “In My Darkest Hour”, “Wake Up Dead” and “Hangar 18”. Of course some personal favourites were going to miss out – “Looking Down The Cross”, “Reckoning Day” and “Set The World Afire” – but you live with that decision making process.
As with all greatest hits albums – and because of the order I am reviewing all my albums, I’ve listened to a few in recent times – it’s hard to argue with the quality of tracks here. I would have done it a little differently, but the quality would still have been the same.
Rating: Best of the best. 5/5.
