I hear it has an uncensored version of "These Boots" which is cool. I have the first remaster where half of it is hilariously bleeped out and it's chucked all the way to the back of the album. Does the new one have that pointless intro to "The Mechanix"?

The Final Kill includes a demo version of 'Mechanix' that doesn't have the intro, though its not a whole lot shorter overall or anything.

I wish Dave wasn't a complete maniac these days and would go back to making good thrash.

Killing Is My Business is such an incredible album and one of the best Megadeth's ever done. It's so close to beating Peace Sells as my favorite Megadeth album. I wish it wasn't so hard to find a reasonable priced copy of the original pressing before it was ruined with the 2002 "remaster". The rawness and pure spitting aggression is unmatched.

In fact, I would listen to it right now if I wasn't so in the mood for Cathedral:

My favourite Cathedral album is probably Caravan Beyond Redemption. It's less doomy, so people like it less, but I just think it's got some really catchy songs and it just sounds really good and groovy.

Captain Clegg is one of my favourite tracks off the album

Yeah, that's a great song and album. I should really listen to their other albums more, but The Ethereal Mirror and The Carnival Bizarre are the only ones I own so those are their albums I'm most familiar with.

Speaking of, now listening:

One of the best albums of the 90's, the perfect balance of crushing guitars and groovy fun.

The intro isn't the worst thing ever but it's dirty ass speed metal. It doesn't need an intro.

A good album? Uh... yeah. A smart song? Uh... yeah. Does it still kinda rule? Uh... yeah it kinda does. It also helps that this was like the second Megadeth song I ever heard back when it was still on the radio and I didn't even know what thrash metal was.

I think it's a good song. The chorus is slightly derpy (that robot voice in the background is the main source of derp), but otherwise I can't complain. I like most of the songs better than this one. Seems to me there's always a certain point after which most people just dislike any band's output for no particular reason (usually after the first 5 or so albums). I think this album is solid if it actually gets a fair chance like the early albums do. Same take I'd have on tonnes of other bands.

I just think that after Youthanasia Dave started running out of good song ideas and could only put together a handful of truly solid songs and then surround them with decent ones or just filler. I'm fine with his stylistic changes up until he cynically started trying to court his old fanbase. The last time he came close to a legitimately great album was Risk. Even Cryptic Writings has too much filler.
