"Dave Mustaine released this album between Megadeth's "Youthanasia" and "Cryptic Writings". I would say that this is just as heavy as "Youthanasia" although it's a little bit different. You can see some punk influences here more than in Megadeth albums. The lyrics are even darker, and the album cover tells quite much. Originally Dave was only playing guitars in this album but while they were remixing and remastering they noticed that the vocal tracks were missing. So, Dave have to sing them. So, this is NOT sung by Lee Ving like the original version was. This remastered version has been sung by Dave Mustaine. I think it's better because I didn't like Lee's voice at all. It's great that Dave decided to sing them. There's many great songs and great lyrics. I think at least all the Megadeth fans should hear this version.
