United Abominations
United Abominations is Megadeth's most musically pointed and lyrically poignant effort of the past decade.

The album debuted at #8 on U.S. Billboard charts, #5 in Canada and #23 in the U.K.

The System Has Failed
Megadeth's tenth studio album was critically hailed as a brilliant return to form which Revolver described in a four-star review as “Megadeth’s most vengeful, poignant and musically complex offering since 1992’s Countdown To Extinction". In creating this album Mustaine has taken all the greatest elements of successive Megadeth line ups, mixed them together and reinvigorated the sound with an injection of fresh Mustaine venom. The album debuted at #18 on U.S. Billboard charts.

The World Needs A Hero
With a revamp in management, label and a couple of band members, Megadeth comes back in a furiously strong offering. This album debuted at #16 on U.S. Billboard charts, and was marked as a welcome return to Megadeth's more heavy metal roots. Mustaine's focused musical vision and pessimistic take on the world in 2001 is fiercer than ever. The razor-sharp guitar shredding, snarling vocals and spitting scepticism cut like an out-of-control laser on 'The World Needs A Hero'.

Capitol Punishment
2000's Capitol Punishment: The Megadeth Years is a terrific best-of that collects two new songs, "Kill the King" and "Dread & The Fugitive Mind," and 12 others from the band's seven full-length Capitol Records albums. The album also boasts "Capitol Punishment...", a medley of the songs on the album. The most striking aspect of Capitol Punishment is that the CD's sequence. It moves backwards from 1999's Risk back to 1986's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
Megadeth's debut was, undoubtedly, their rawest-sounding, most intense, fastest, angriest, and overall thrashiest album they've ever released. Killing Is My Business was originally released in 1985 on Combat Records. The deluxe edition, completely remixed and remastered and featuring a new cover and several bonus tracks, was released by Loud Records in 2002. From opening to closing, this is pure thrash/speed metal, at its best.
