Fantastic album from nearly start to finish. "We'll Be Back" is a thrash masterpiece, and an instant Megadeth classic. "Life in Hell", "Celebutante" and "Nightstalkers" shred and "Dogs of Chernobyl" is brutal. My primary knock on this album is the strangely out of place "Mission to Mars". It's a bizarre song that, while aggressive and dark by its end, seems a bit cheesy and missed the mark. "Sacrifice" is another filler track. Overall an excellent album that sees Megadeth crank up the speed. Verbeuren and Loureiro mesh perfectly with Mustaine.

Solid album that should have been shorter. There are some real high points. "Spit Out the Bone" is the trashiest Metallica have been since the 80s. There is just too much filler on this album though for me to give it higher than 3 stars but overall it is a solid offering.
