Only buy if you don't have Rude Awakening

"These are the same songs that are on the live Rude Awakening CD from a few years ago. They're good songs and everything, but if you already have Rude Awakening then you have no reason to buy this. And really I'd suggest buying Rude Awakening instead. Same songs, plus more. A little more expensive but its worth it."

Rude Awakenings?

"This CD released by Sony BMG appears to be part of the Extended Versions series for various artists. I decided that I must get the Megadeth one as I have all of Megadeth's other stuff. The songs on this CD are all live recordings. After the first listen, I noticed the compilation was quite familiar. These songs are actually half the songs from the live Megadeth album Rude Awakening (Sanctuary Records). There is a good mix of tracks on here including Dread and the Fugitive Mind, Peace Sells and In My Darkest Hour. 10 Tracks in total. The mastering on this disc is a bit quieter compared to the sound of the same tracks on Rude Awakening. The disc is a good addition to your Megadeth collection if you are wanting to collect every Megadeth disc, introduce someone else to live Megadeth or grab one to play in the car. The better option is to buy Rude Awakenings.
