Megadeth - Discography, Pt. 1

So, today I'm posting Megadeth's discography. Just some information from Wikipedia. I am not so sure about adding links to download them, so I'll not do it. Anyways, just enjoy the post.

Megadeth: 

1.- Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!

 

Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! is 

the debut album by the American heavy metal band 

Megadeth, released in June 1985 through Combat 

and Relativity Records. During the beginning of 1985,

the band was given $8,000 by Combat Records to 

record and produce their debut album, but this proved

to not be enough and so the band were given a further 

$4,000. Instead, a majority of the budget was spent on 

drugs, alcohol, and food, meaning the band was forced 

to fire their original producer and produce the album 

themselves.
Despite the resulting poor production,  

Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!, 

released in June 1985, was a well-received effort that

blended elements of thrash and speed metal.

The album featured a controversial cover of

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and the long-time 

fan-favorite "Mechanix". A deluxe edition, completely

remixed and remastered with several bonus tracks, was

released by Loud Records in 2002. It featured vastly 

different artwork, with its cover based on the version 

originally designed by Dave Mustaine in 1985.

 Track List:

1.- Last Rites/Loved to Death

2.- Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!

3.- Skull Beneath the Skin

4.- These Boots

5.- Rattlehead

6.-  Chosen Ones

7.- Looking Down the Cross

8.- Mechanix

2.- Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released on 19 September, 1986. Originally, the project was handled by Combat Records, and this resulted in the first mix of the album. Eventually Capitol Records bought the rights to the album and a producer was hired to mix it himself. It was remixed and remastered in 2004 by Dave Mustaine. In 2011, the three different versions were released as part of the album's 25th anniversary celebration. All of them, excepting the 2004 mixes, feature new remastering.

It has been listed as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and is highly regarded as a thrash metal classic. It is the last album to feature Gar Samuelson on drums, and the last album until The System Has Failed to feature Chris Poland on lead guitar.

Track List:

1.-Wake Up Dead

2.- The Conjuring

3.- Peace Sells

4.- Devil's Island

5.- Good Morning, Black Friday

6.- Bad Omen

7.- I Ain't Superstitious

8.- My Last Words

3.- So Far, So Good... So What?

 

So Far, So Good... So What! is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released by Capitol Records in 1988. A remixed and remastered version including several bonus tracks
was released in 2004. It is the band's only album recorded with Chuck Behler and Jeff Young, who were fired immediately after the subsequent tour.
This album features one of the first songs Dave Mustaine wrote for Megadeth, which was
"Set The World Afire", being the first song he wrote after being fired from Metallica. He later admitted writing the lyrics during his journey home from the departure.
"In My Darkest Hour" was written by Dave Mustaine shortly after Cliff Burton's death,
who was the bassist for Metallica, which Mustaine was a part of from 1981 until 1983 just before Metallica recorded its debut album Kill 'Em All.
This would also be the last Megadeth album in traditional fashion to feature a cover song in its track
listing, a process which would not be used again until 2004's The System Has Failed & 2007's United Abominations (however, the cover songs on those two albums are bonus tracks).

Track List:

1.-Into The Lungs Of Hell

2.- Set The World Afire

3.- Anarchy In The U.K.

4.- Mary Jane

5.- 502

6.- In My Darkest Hour

7.- Liar

8.- Hook In Mouth

4.- Rust In Peace

Rust in Peace is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. Released on September 24, 1990, it was the third Megadeth album distributed through Capitol Records. The album was the band's only collaboration with record producer Mike Clink who was the first producer to successfully produce a Megadeth album from start to finish, without being fired. It was the first album to feature guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza, following the firing of both Jeff Young and Chuck Behler in 1989.

There are nine tracks on the album, with lyrics inspired by subjects ranging from nuclear fallout, war, religion, Area 51 and fantasy. Two singles were released from the album: "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", which have become staples of the band's live performances. Rust in Peace was very well received by both critics and fans and was responsible for bringing Megadeth to the attention of a mainstream metal audience, and it is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, and "Hangar 18" was nominated for the same award at the 34th Grammy Awards. Allmusic described the record as "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort", and it was noted as one of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Track Listing:
1.- Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
2.- Hangar 18
3.- Take No Prisoners
4.- Five Magics
5.- Poison Was The Cure
6.- Lucretia
7.- Tornado of Souls
8.- Dawn Patrol
9.- Rust in Peace... Polaris

5.- Countdown To Extinction

Countdown to Extinction is the fifth studio album by the American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released on July 14, 1992 through Capitol Records. Countdown to Extinction is Megadeth's best-selling album, eventually achieving double platinum status. The album also produced the band's most successful hit singles, "Symphony of Destruction", "Sweating Bullets", "Skin O' My Teeth" and "Foreclosure of a Dream", videos were made for all singles and also for "High Speed Dirt".
Countdown to Extinction was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1993 Grammy Awards and the title track of the album won the Humane Society's Genesis Award, making Megadeth the only heavy metal band to be given this honor.

Track Listing:
1.- Skin o' My Teeth
2.- Symphony of Destruction
3.- Architecture of Aggression
4.- Foreclosure of a Dream
5.- Sweating Bullets
6.- This Was My Life
7.- Countdown to Extinction
8.- High Speed Dirt
9.- Psychotron
10.- Captive Honour
11.- Ashes in Your Mouth

6.- Youthanasia

Youthanasia is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth, released on November 1, 1994 through Capitol Records; a remixed and remastered edition, featuring several bonus tracks, was reissued in 2004.
The album saw Megadeth continuing a trend toward slower, more melodic hard rock-styled songs which began with their commercial breakthrough album, Countdown to Extinction. Lyrically, the album displays a variety of influences: mythology ("Elysian Fields" and "Blood of Heroes"), rape and incest ("Family Tree"), nuclear war ("Black Curtains"), gambling ("Train of Consequences", which can also be seen on the video), and a hit about the last moments in life, "A Tout Le Monde". The title is a pun on euthanasia, implying that society is euthanizing its youth, which would be consistent with bandleader and principal songwriter Dave Mustaine's views. The closing track, "Victory", refers to many of the band's previous songs and Mustaine's past throughout its lyrics.

Track Listing:
1.- Reckoning Day
2.- Train of Consequences
3.- Addicted to Chaos
4.- A Tout Le Monde
5.-Elysian Fields
6.- The Killing Road
7.- Blood of Heroes
8.- Family Tree
9.- Youthanasia
10.- I Thought I Knew It All
11.- Black Curtains
12.- Victory
