I love music. I try to review the albums as honest I can. There might be some humor but there is a place for that. These reviews are my opinions, not any mass of critics who have changed their opinion when the fans demanded it.

Reijo Piippula's Album Reviews
If a band makes the best thrash metal album ever, why cannot we say it immediately? I love everything about "Rust in Peace". The lyrics have something to say to us all. The guitars are screaming, drums are evil and Dave Mustaine's voice is as best as ever. Rust in Peace was definitely their peak. Often I hear that 90's metal wasn't worth checking. Well, listen to this album, Believer's "Sanity Obscure" or Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss" they were all made in 1990. And I have to say that there's even more good albums in 90's.
"Holy Wars" - great lyrics, the second part is as good as the first. "Hangar 18" is another killer. In fact I couls ay that about all the songs. "Dawn Patrol" is an interesting song. I have to say I din't like it first but after a while I realized it is an intelligent song! "Five Magics" is also a clever song if you can call a song "clever"....it starts with a few second speedy thrash metal, slows down with bass guitar riffs, eventually it explodes. If this album had been released before Metallica's Master of Puppets, it would be ranked above it. Now it seems that people are worshipping Metallica because they found it before Megadeth. Well, I found Metallica before Megadeth. In fact, "Justice" was one of those album that introduced me to thrash metal but still I think Megadeth is better than Metallica.
