Megadeth's greatest hits, anyone else find something wrong with this? They already have numerous collections out, but okay let's call this one the
greatest hits as well, why not. In this greatest hits you'll find the hits the others had without "Crush Em'" thankfully. If you are a huge Megadeth
fan, which anyone still up to them today is of course included, then you don't need this, but as a huge fan you might want it for the sake of having all of their releases.

This collection out of the rest does contain the essentials though which is the sole reason for listening because once you put it on "Hangar 18" you'll be going back through the entire catalog in an overwhelming nostalgia. The production of each song is of course remastered so that you may enjoy the full listening potential of each age old thrash classic.

Royalties come to mind when I see multiple collections like this come about, and why shouldn't it, you only really need one, Mustaine should've saved it
all up for some ridiculous box set with a big Doc Vic head on the front that has his steal sunglasses light up and smoke that comes out of the mouth, but no, instead you get this roster of fine Megadeth classics on one disc, which is just as good and costs less in the end as well when it comes down to it.
