355 - Megadeth Liar 1988

Mustaine for all his private life issues was a prodigiously talented musician and songwriter. This came to the front on 1988's "So Far" album. Always more political, sarcastic and antagonistic than Metallica Megadeth dealt with real life issues such as Mustaine's all consuming drug addiction, his lack of love for the American judicial system and his own view points on war in Northern Ireland and the Middle East. Then with "Liar" and "Hook In Mouth" we get to hear Mustaine in full vitriolic fervour as he devours and lambastes both himself and US democracy.
