Megadeth--Maximum Megadeth

Megadeth--Maximum Megadeth (1991/Capitol) Rating--8.0

A bit of a novelty CD, released right after 'Rust in Peace'. Tracks are taken from the band's first four albums (less 'Killing Is My Business), and captures its thrash (i.e., BEST) era.
In all, very apt selections from each of the albums. Someone who had not been introduced to Megadeth could listen to this one time through, and come away with a solid idea of what the band achieved in its killing-stage. A nice bonus is a couple of live tracks, with special kudos given to the flawless axe-dueling of "Hangar 18".
TRACK LIST: Peace Sells/Hangar 18 (Live)/In My Darkest Hour/Holy Wars... The Punishment Due/Anarchy in the U.K. (Live)/ Wake Up Dead/Hook In Mouth/Lucretia
