The unnavoidable spiritually-damaged roar is audible immediately. Before even a single lyric of YOUTHANASIA's lead track "Reckoning Day" is uttered, the fierce twin guitar attack and the pounding double-bass drums betray the band's poetic motives. By the time singer/lyricist Dave Mustaine admits that "Life's fabric is corrupt/Shot through with corroded thread" on YOUTHANASIA's second track--and first single--"Train Of Consequences," Megadeth's plan of action is more than obvious. Disillusionment is at the core of life, Mustaine warns today's youth, recognize it early on before it grinds you down.

While such themes are an every day part of the speed-metal genre, YOUTHANASIA tackles the subject of maturing in the face of adversity with the skill of knowing professionals. Fitted into the album's sleek and streamlined production are arguments that straddle the border between complexity and naivete, but whose overall thesis is just as important to its alienated audience as gangsta rap is to its own. And while the grandeur of tracks like "A Tout Le Monde" or "Elysian Fields" can be off-putting, they ultimately become life-affirming gestures for those who actually listen.

The remixed and remastered Megadeth albums released in 2004 aren't your typical cash-ins. They're stark improvements over the originals: group leader Dave Mustaine did the remixing and remastering himself, making especially significant revisions to the earlier albums, and he includes insightful liner notes for each reissue, including track-by-track commentary for the bonus tracks, as well as lyrics and period photos. Like the other post-Rust in Peace albums, Youthanasia didn't get much of a makeover for its reissue. The album sounded great to begin with, so Mustaine didn't have much polishing up to do. What you get with this reissue then is essentially Youthanasia with the addition of some insightful liner notes and four bonus tracks, three of them demos. The liners confirm the conventional knowledge that Megadeth were undergoing some big changes at this point in their development. Their previous album, Countdown to Extinction, had been a mammoth commercial success and not least because the band had changed its style of music: the reckless thrash metal of the past was now streamlined à la Metallica -- the riffs were slowed down and simplified, the singing was brought from the periphery to the foreground, the lyrics were thoughtfully personal and political rather than fascinated with evil and hatred, and the band had lost touch with its audience as the thrash scene had been supplanted by the rise of alt-rock and death metal. Furthermore, as Mustaine writes in the first sentence of his liners, "Youthanasia...was plagued with problems from the outset." He then goes on to explain why this period was so frustrating for him -- from the recording process itself to the changing tides within the metal community -- and, in effect, tries to justify why so many fans got off the Megadeth train at this juncture. His reasoning is reasonable, but it belies the underlying obviousness of the matter: the Megadeth of the '90s was not the Megadeth of the '80s, and most fans preferred the drug-addled abandon of Mustaine's snarling youth to his self-serious change of face once he became an MTV-sanctioned superstar in the aftermath of Rust in Peace. That's not to say that Megadeth stopped making great music; in fact, some songs here, "A Tout le Monde" in particular, are among his best w

After the success of PEACE SELLSàBUT WHO'S BUYING? in 1986 and SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO WHAT! in 1988, Megadeth was fast becoming one of thrash metal's leading outfits. However, the band's hard work was nearly derailed because of the continuous dismissals of band members and chronic substance abuse. Founding members Dave Mustaine (guitar/vocals) and Dave Ellefson (bass) changed their ways before work on their fourth album began, hiring drummer Nick Menza and ex-Cacophony guitarist Marty Friedman. When Megadeth re-emerged with RUST ...

Megadeth has always been a "progressive" metal band in that the musicians take a thrash approach and expand upon it. RISK is no different. The album title stems from the experimental approach taken by the band. RISK will definitely please the Mega-diehards and may draw in some new listeners as well. "Insomnia" features techno guitar riffs and violin and is primed for album-rock airplay. "Prince of Darkness," which also features violin, is a 6:25 metal opus done right. "Crush 'Em" is a fist pumping, arena rock gem. It is also the band's most commercial single to date. ...

Guitarist Dave Mustaine was an original member of thrash-pioneers Metallica. But he was booted from the band during the recording of that band's debut album, KILL 'EM ALL. Instead of moping around, Mustaine returned to California and immediately formed another group--Megadeth. He promised his fans that the new outfit would be faster and more lethal than his former band, and Megadeth's 1985 debut, KILLING IS MY BUSINESS, AND BUSINESS IS GOOD, made good on this threat. Megadeth and Metallica duked it out in the music press, but both acts thrived. In 1986, each released its finest record, Metallica's ...

While Metallica was busy climbing to the top of the thrash-metal heap, Dave Mustaine and Megadeth were quietly carving out a niche for themselves, distinguished by intelligent songwriting and a progressive approach that avoids erratic genre-jumping. Mustaine's breadth of song subjects continues to expand on CRYPTIC WRITINGS, with topics ranging from stalkers ("I'll Get Even") and drug addiction ...

"Depende" was nominated for the 2000 Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal. The title track of Jarabe de Palo's debut album, La Flaca, which won the prestigious Spanish Ondas Award for Best Song and Best New Artist kudos for lead singer and songwriter Pau Donés, was just so darn irresistible, so convincingly authentic, so undeniably sincere in its longing for a skinny girl glimpsed dancing in Havana, that it was hard to find anything bad to say about the group from Barcelona, except ...
