I've been a massive fan of this album since high school and as one of the relatively few albums I had at the time and at a time when I was just discovering metal it's an absolute foundational album for me that I've heard at least five million times, but it has been many years since it's been a go-to album that I've thrown on over and over again and then a day later thrown it on again and a week later I'm still throwing it on again. There aren't many albums I do that to in general so this is without a doubt a god tier album for me that I'd kill a really hot time traveler for just to make sure they didn't unrecord it. Like, they didn't even come here for that but there's a possibility that it might be a consequence of them doing something so I'd kill them just in case.

Just saw the La Torre-fronted Queensryche do a show. A couple cuts from Empire too: nailed 'em.
P.S. I really enjoyed the 2018 remaster of Killing Is My Business.

Killing is My Business... is one of the best metal albums ever and I'm so glad that it was one of my first. There's not a bad song or even bad riff on the whole thing.
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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MHkSAidIPk |

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.

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.
