    Arguably Megadeth's strongest effort and a classic of early thrash, Peace Sells combines punkish political awareness with a dark, threatening, typically heavy metal world-view, preoccupied with evil, the occult, and the like.

    This reissue of Peace Sells, celebrating a quarter century of Megadeth's second but first truly great album, is probably more a sop to those diehards than anything else, but if it turns one curious party into a convert then it's worth it, even in this time of bald cash-grab reissue ugliness.

    While the songs on Peace Sells… hold up exceptionally well to this day, what the "special edition" fans were so looking forward to is nowhere near as special as it should have been.

    Peace sells is an album that will forever stand the test of time and the 25th anniversary remaster pounds with ferocity. Ellefson's bass on devil's island will pound your skull and will wanna make you rattle your head!… Expand
