This album is great, what’s bringing it down for me is the fact that 21st century schizoid man, although being a great song, has a sax that sounds like something from a circus for a large part of the song in my opinion. Despite this, the album is incredibly exploratory in different styles to evoke a multitude of emotions from the listener. In particular, I largely enjoyed “The Court of The Crimson King” and “Epitaph”.
Megadeth’s best album, thrash at its peak and Dave’s voice was partially functional for this album.
Their best album, thrash and groove metal all in one brilliant album.
Metallica’s thrash era was their best (imo), this album established them and many songs are so underrated.
