Killing is such a weird album because it's kind of sloppy and all over the place (though the latest remaster cleaned it up significantly). songs have less melodic sensibility, and Dave sings like he's in a cave. yeah, it fuckin rules. first three songs are a helluva 1-2-3.
Peace Sells is probably my second favorite, still love that the album opens up with an intense thrash song about not wanting his girlfriend to know someone else is balling him.

Different thread, but some of the same characters. Listening to Yngwie a bit of late (yeah, I know) and one thing I noticed listening to some of his tunes this time around was that he never really had a good rhythm section at least on the records. Part of that is I think like much 80s metal it was all tracked a piece at a time with the drums and bass put on afterwards instead of played together like a band. But one thought I had listening to them was, I wonder what it would have sounded like if Yngwie had a kickass rhythm section like David Ellefson and Mick Menza behind him. Yngwie's keyboard player or at least the dude that plays on that fun video from Russia in 91 is fun, so I would keep him and Joe Lynn Turner in the band with the Megadeth rhythm section.
