146: Megadeth So Far So Good.. So What Album Dive

“DAVE MUSTAINE FOR PRESIDENT, 2024!!!”

While many outside the tri-county metal multiverse would be absolutely mortified to have the MEGADETH leader as the “Commander In-Chief,” many feel it’s the only way to ensure that America (along with the rest of the planet) stays metal (and awake) forever. 

With the release of their third album (1988’s SO FAR…SO GOOD…SO WHAT!), Megadeth continued to hone and diversify their sonic palette, staying true to their blisteringly articulate thrash fury and passionately vitriolic vocal commentary on key issues such as total nuclear annihilation, reckless driving, and profound personal loss (just to name a few). 

(Oh yeah, they also covered the most famous one-album, pop-punk boy band in history.)

Get ready to unleash your inner snarl and “give the crickets some space” while “unscrewing” because we have another incredible “Johnny Depp impression” which pairs well with our most recent one-star review (which most closely resembles the smell of moist, mouth-fart “body spray”) and JOIN US as we dive into one of the most pivotal (and also, one of the most overlooked) albums of the early Megadeth administration, SO FAR…SO GOOD…SO WHAT!
