About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

After his exit from Metallica, Dave Mustaine regrouped with his own band on this debut album, accentuating his own chaotic, driving rhythm guitar work and careening, lightning-fast solos. The music here is as raw as Megadeth gets, and that can be both good and bad -- Megadeth's later precise, complex riffing and composition aren't completely developed, but the music is performed with a great deal of energy, while Mustaine's vocals (never his strong point) are amateurish at best. Highlights include a retooled version of Nancy Sinatra's "Boots" and "Mechanix," a Mustaine composition written with Metallica, which turned into the latter's "The Four Horsemen." Steve Huey, All Music Guide

March 03, 2003: This album has excellent killing tracks but the level of recording is so low. Guitars and vocals are fantastic. Real heavy metal!

March 19, 2001: Megadeth's first album suffers a bit from what plagued Metallica's debut (Kill 'Em All) - a high-energy thrash explosion weakened by amateurish songwriting and slightly subpar production. The trademark Megadeth style - manic, terrifying instrumental work and dark lyrical themes - are here, packed into a brief (27-minute) intro to the 'Deth canon. It doesn't approach the refined songcraft of Peace Sells (their second album), but KIMB...ABIG can still be enjoyed by speed-metal fans. At least, the music was never more energetic.
