Product Description

Megadeth's fifth studio album, "Countdown To Extinction," released on July 14, 1992, under Capitol Records, is a thrashing journey through the realms of heavy, thrash, and speed metal. This iconic album, spanning a duration of 1 hour and 6 minutes, is a testament to Megadeth's distinctive sound and Dave Mustaine's unmistakable vocals. The album features a mix of remastered tracks and demos, including fan favorites like "Symphony Of Destruction" and "Sweating Bullets," showcasing the band's signature aggressive riffs and intricate guitar solos by Marty Friedman. The 2004 remastered version brings a polished touch to the original tracks, though purists might argue that the original mix holds a special charm. "Countdown To Extinction" is a powerful display of Megadeth's musical prowess, blending raw energy with melodic finesse, making it a standout addition to any metal enthusiast's collection.

This 2025 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g Picture Disc vinyl.

Picture Disc Triumphs
4 out of 5 stars

Isn't it crazy how a re-mastered picture disc LP can outshine a re-mastered CD? I grabbed this album, along with Rust in Peace, Peace Sells, and Youthanasia, all in picture disc format from FYE for about 25 bucks each, down from 45. Youthanasia's the only dud in the bunch. Back in my teen years, I was all about this album, especially 'Ashes in Your Mouth'. From start to finish, it's a masterpiece, pure talent at work.
Picture Disc Delight
5 out of 5 stars

Is the sound quality good for a vinyl release? Not really, it's just okay, mediocre at best. But for a picture disc, it's absolutely great, with a surprisingly quiet pressing. Is it a good substitute for a first press? Yes, in every way, especially since good condition copies cost over 100€. My copy was very flat and clean, so overall, it was a pretty enjoyable experience with this picture disc, aside from the typical PD issues.
Improved but Flawed Mix
4 out of 5 stars
ffinobefe18 December 2025United States🇺🇸
This album sounds a LOT better than the one I bought a couple of months ago. I can certainly notice a bit of noise between songs and during quieter moments, but it's not bothersome; it's kind of like listening to an old record that's seen some playtime. Like others have mentioned, the mixing is a bit off. Dave's vocals and guitar are definitely turned up in the mix. The bass and drums are way too quiet, which is a real shame (especially the kick drum). I wouldn't mind if it was just the bass that was turned down, but pushing the drums back as much as he did is a real letdown for the whole album. So, while this isn't the best way to experience this classic, it's pretty decent for the price. I really wish the MoFi version was more budget-friendly.
Muddy but Decent Sound
4 out of 5 stars

Alright, so it's got a decent sound and it's not that old 2004 remix, but honestly, it's worse than the CD in some aspects because it's a bit muddy. It's not the top-tier out there, but it's definitely better than the Brazil or picture disc versions. It's a good deal for the price, but not worth the $300 or $350 people are asking for it.
Bootleg Matches Original

I got a fantastic version of the bootleg release. My brother, who owns the original from '92, compared it to mine, and they sound nearly the same.
