Product description

Dive into the raw, unrelenting power of thrash metal with Megadeth's "The System Has Failed," originally released on September 14, 2004, under Sanctuary Records. This iconic album, now remastered in 2019, is a testament to Megadeth's enduring legacy in the metal genre. Spanning a full hour of high-octane tracks, it's a relentless journey through the band's signature sound, blending elements of thrash, heavy, and speed metal.

From the opening riffs of "Blackmail the Universe" to the intense finale of "My Kingdom," Megadeth delivers a masterclass in metal musicianship. The album features a mix of studio recordings and live performances, showcasing the band's versatility and energy. Tracks like "Die Dead Enough" and "Kick the Chair" highlight the band's knack for crafting memorable, aggressive anthems, while "Truth Be Told" and "Of Mice and Men" offer a glimpse into their more introspective side.

"The System Has Failed" is a must-listen for any metal fan, offering a powerful blend of speed, precision, and musical prowess that has solidified Megadeth's place in the annals of metal history. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the band, this album is a thrilling exploration of the genre's boundaries, delivered with the signature intensity and skill that Megadeth is known for.

This 2019 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Swap for Of Mice and Men

    5 out of 5 stars
    MizWCZbixkDecember 31, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I've got 2 copies on hand. Would anyone swap for a single copy of 'Of Mice and Men'?

  • Audio Quality Triumphs

    5 out of 5 stars
    Ebflon76September 22, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Great audio quality .. But it's quite grubby and has a few minor scuffs, not a fan of BMG.. Even so, the sound is what counts. So 5/5

  • Disappointing Album

    2 out of 5 stars
    LZNilosjikoJuly 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Man, this album was a huge disappointment, even way back in 2004. Only a couple of decent tunes: 'Blackmail the Universe' and 'Kick the Chair'. The rest is either cheesy like 'Back in the Day' or just filler tracks like 'I Know Jack', in my opinion.

  • Top Megadeth Album Sounds Fantastic

    5 out of 5 stars
    TuwrJasn96February 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Among my top Megadeth albums, and this version sounds fantastic!!

  • Clear, Balanced Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    cukzunf9524January 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I concur with the comments above. There's a TON of low end here, but it's not as muddy as the original mix. There's more space between the instruments and a clarity that wasn't in the OG mix. It sounds amazing.. just listened to it twice. Didn't find my copy to be dirty at all.. pretty quiet. It was a long wait for this one, as I got it from overseas... but glad I got it.
