Rust in peace recommendation

Rust in Peace the fourth studio album by the American thrash metal band Megadeth, published by the record company Capitol Records on September 24, 1990. Produced by Mike Clink and Dave Mustaine, Rust in Peace marked the debut of the guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza, which respectively replaced Jeff Young and Chuck Behler in 1989.

In this album Dave Mustaine accentuates the progressive tendencies of his compositions, producing rhythmically complex, technically challenging thrash suites that he and Friedman burn through with impeccable execution and astonishing skill. Thanks to Mustaine's focus on the music rather than the lyrics, Rust in Peace arguably holds up better than any other Megadeth release. Megadeth's fourth studio album sometimes is compared with "...And Justice For All" by Metallica, due to his technical complexity . While the whole album is consistently impressive, the obvious highlight are the epic, "Hangar 18" with 12 solos, "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" a song with really great lyrics and the second part is as good as the first, finally "Tornado Of Souls" which has one of the best guitar solos ever in the metal genre from my point of view. 

In retrospective reviews, Rust in Peace has been cited for its great impact on heavy metal. The Decibel magazine called it "the work that defined the genre," while Kerrang! wrote that the album "set a new standard for heavy metal of the 1990s." Meanwhile, IGN ranked it as the fourth most influential heavy metal album, while a 2010 survey by MusicRadar positioned Megadeth's album as the sixth best metal album. In a list compiled by Chad Bowar, the writer named it the best album of the decade of the genre and called it "a masterpiece of thrash."
