Dave has previously stated that album number 16 ranks within the top five of Megadeth’s discography. “I think this is probably in the top four records as far as towards the tip of the spear with our career and everything that we’re doing,” Enthuses Dave. “It’s up there with Countdown [To Extinction], Rust In Peace and probably Peace Sells. The other one I would say is Dystopia. So that would round up my top five.”

Mustaine also revealed that Megadeth had come up with 15 original songs in the studio, before deciding to throw in a couple of covers as well.

“We got to the end, and I said, ‘Shoot, we didn’t think about the cover songs, man,’” he said. “We had a couple of songs we wanted to do for this record. ‘Damn, we forgot. What are we gonna do? Do you wanna still talk about it?’ ‘Yeah, we wanna talk about it.’”

“So we ended up doing 18 songs altogether, and then we had another song that we forgot was part of one of the other songs, so we had 19. [We] ditched one of the cover songs, so now we’ve got an 18-song album that we’re gonna be bringing.”
