About this product

So Far, So Good... So What! Is the third studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released on January 19, 1988 through Capitol Records; a remixed and remastered edition including several bonus tracks was reissued in August 2004. It is the band's only album recorded with drummer Chuck Behler and guitarist Jeff Young, both of whom were fired immediately after the subsequent tour. So Far, So Good... So What! Features music performed at very fast tempos with technical ability; lyrically, frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine addresses a variety of topics, including nuclear holocaust and freedom of speech. The record was well received among contemporary music critics, although retrospective analysis has been less favorable. It managed to enter the top 30 on the Billboard 200 with no commercial radio play; it charted in several other countries as well. The album was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and indicated Megadeth's forthcoming emergence from the underground scene. Remastered title presented on Limited Edition, 180-gram audiophile quality vinyl with original artwork and packaging. Includes 1 LP, gatefold jacket and printed sleeve with lyrics. Album Tracks 1.

    Fist things first, this album for me is a 5 out of 5 stars. However, this remix/remaster version loses a point since they changed the classic sound of this album and added horns in the intro to 'Into the Lungs of He||' and dang-near ruined it. I still like listening to this version, but I will be seeking out a classic copy of this album to hear it in it's proper manner. None the less, it's classic Megadeth through and through. Possibly an overlooked classic in Megadeth's arsenal.

    Rating based on Remaster only!

    This remaster is not as good as the original release. Dave went and added horns and tweaked some things that detract from my listening experience. If this is your first time purchasing this release then it may be fine, but I eventually tracked down the original release to sate my desire for the original. Still nice to have in the collection though!
