Megadeth

love SFSGSW, the only thing that hurts the album to my ears is that god awful cover of anarchy in the uk.

I could stomach the song a lot more if it was say right at the end of the album but putting the track at number 3 in between set the world afire and Mary Jane was a stupid idea and actually affects my overall enjoyment of the album.

Couldn't agree more. I don't think it's that awful but yeah... it leaves a lot to be desired quality wise. And that sticks out like a sore thumb among what I consider to be nothing but excellent tunes. Even so, I concur that if it, was the last song, it would be perfect, since:

a) instead of just one major middle finger to the PMRC (Hook In Mouth) Mustaine would raise two in a row (either you love them or hate them The Sex Pistols are easily one of the more anti-PC bands of all time).​

b) let's be honest: the song musically has nothing to do with the rest of the tracks (which IMO range from great to awesome). That being said, it has that uncompromised "I don't give a major F" punk approach, and that would be a cool way to close such a dark and aggressive album.​

Listen to the reverby original mix. The album is like a speed metal fever dream. I love it.

Thx for the recommendation.

And that doesn't work just for SFSGSW... avoid at all costs the remixes. IMO they sound way worse than the originals.
