Now for the review:


TSHF marks megadeth's return to their thrash metal roots after all the experimenting they did with with cryptic writings and risk. ''The world needs a hero'', was more of Thrash again, followed by TSHF, Which is just magical. in this album, Dave talks a lot about his expulsion from metallica, the initial struggle and the success that he enjoys today. Back in the Day is all about the history of megadeth, starting from the day mustaine was literally kicked out of metallica.'' from SF out to Old Bridge, New York Back to LA'', is about metallica's decision to move from san francisco to new york, mustaine's expulsion from the band in new york and the four days mustaine spent on a bus back home to LA. The Megadeth Story is also seen in The Video of ''Of Mice And Men''. the Lyrics of TSHF are very slightly political, as seen in blackamil the universe and The Truth Be told. TSHF also marks the return of Chris Poland of KIMB and Peace sells, who did the recording for the album even though he made it clear tht he does not intend to join the band again. The guitar solos and riffs bring back memories of the good old days of peace sells. all in all TSHF is an amazing album, a must have for all megadeth fans.
