This was the best album that Megadeth has ever created by far. Each of the nine songs has a unique style and has its own deep background. This was the first album recorded with the guitarist Marty Friedman. Marty brought a new amount of skill and talent to the band that they had not seen before. His many solos throughout the album only reinforce the truth that he is an amazing musician. The album’s main and overlying message is that the nuclear weapons will never get used and eventually “Rust in Peace”. The album cover also features former British Prime Minister John Major, former Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, former German President Richard von Weizsäcker, former Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and former American President George H. W. Bush all sitting around Vic Rattlehead inside Hanger 18 around an alien body. This inplication of current, for the time, world leaders gathered together in secrecy shows the band’s feelings toward governments.
All of these key factors allowed Megadeth to create an album that finally showed the world what their full potential was along with showing Metallica that they couldn’t be the best Metal band without a hard fought fight.
