Megadeth Remasterpieces

by Scott on December 27th, 2007

I’m sitting here going back and forth through my Megadeth MP3s from the Warchest songs to the original from the cds. I know a lot of people are skeptical when it comes to re-releases and remasters cds but if your Megadeth cd’s are old and/or scratched and your looking for an excuse to replace them then you should look no further.

Dave Mustaine remastered all the old cds (from Risk on back to Peace Sells) about 2 and a half years ago. I picked up Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying, but that was the only one. It was pretty cool. I say was because I ripped it to my hard drive and traded it in towards some other stuff awhile back. Anyway it is pretty amazing how Dave remastered the songs and made them sound a million times better. I stressed this awhile back when I talked about My Darkest Hour from the Warchest. Some people like that old raw sound from the eighties. I do to, but I also like a fine tuned song. Especially when it’s something that I listen to and say “This could be better if it had been tweaked a bit”.

I gotta take back my rather mediocre review on the Warchest because the more I listen to the songs and the other stuff on it, the more I like it. All the older songs are remastered and sound better. The live tracks are great and the demos make you “double take” them. If you don;t feel like buying the Warchest, then at least check out the remastered Peace Sells and So far So Good cd’s. You’ll be glad you did.
