C'mon ILX metal contingent. I'm umming and ahhing between Holy Wars and Tornado of Souls.

Hangar 18. That tempo change riff-solo-riff-solo coda still kills.

― Thijs, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, gotta go with "Hangar 18" myself.

Hangar 18 once more.

― Marty Innerlogic, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 16:46 (sixteen years ago)

I always liked how "Five Magics" did the sword and sorcery thing in the middle of an album which is otherwise about nuclear apocalypse.

"Hangar 18" wins for me as well.

― Neil S, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 16:47 (sixteen years ago)

The long creeping intro to Five Magics is wonderful, the main body of the song a little so-so.

i remember the first time i heard that song, i was kinda like writing them off already after "so far so good so what" had kinda blown a little. and then the first minute of that song just totally killed me.

This whole thing RULES. The ending of Hangar 18 is sick, but I may have to reserve judgement until I listen to this again.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 00:01 (sixteen years ago)

Right answer, but low turn out. Maybe some ILM metal folks missed this one because the thread title didn't have MEGADETH in it.

― Thijs, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 07:45 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, I missed this. Would've voted "Holy Wars", the best song on there by a mile.

― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 07:55 (sixteen years ago)

Haha, there is a whole Wikipedia page about people who have pissed off/been pissed off by Dave Mustaine.

one year passes...

'holy wars...' really isn't far from being the greatest metal song of all time.

― charlie h, Saturday, 6 August 2011 08:53 (fourteen years ago)

two years pass...

'Five Magics'.

― ...and the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and SAW! (Turrican), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 20:33 (eleven years ago)

Incredible intro, the rest of the song doesn't quite live up to it.

Oh I see I said exactly the same thing four years ago.
