To simply put this album, it was Megadeth's debut album that was low budget and production wise showed how low budget it was, although that to me is the real charm of this particular album. Mustaine was hell bent on getting revenge on Metallica at this time, problem was Metallica at this time had 2 albums out already. Dave Mustaine got together a great group of himself, David Ellefson, Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson.
This album really defined speed metal more then any other album to me at that time, the extremely anger driven riffs, the overall gritty nature of the musicianship especially in songs like Rattlehead, Last Rites which had an interesting piano opening. Then you get Mechanix which is basically the much shorter and faster version of The Four Horsemen.
KIMB was an album that didn't get Megadeth right on the map just yet but they certainly showed the metal community at that time just who they were and what they were capable of.
To sum it up, I think this album considering how low budget it was, is a fantastic gritty and raw debut album. Took speed metal to an extreme level of power.
My favourite songs.
