Title:

So Far, So Good... So What!

Description:

A largely uninspired effort recorded with a new guitarist and drummer, So Far, So Good...So What! lacks the conceptual unity and musical bite of Peace Sells, which helps push much of its lyrical material into the realm of self-parody, as Mustaine rants about the PMRC, the apocalypse, ex-girlfriends, and other people he is angry with, while hinting at the depth of his substance abuse problem with ”502,” a paean to driving drunk. The album wants to sound threatening but mostly comes off as forced and somewhat juvenile; typical is the embarrassing cover of ”Anarchy in the U.K.,” which is played in Megadeth’s tightly controlled riffing style and without the looseness of the original, making it sound stilted and stiff -- and Mustaine doesn’t even get the lyrics right. This one is for diehards only.
