Mustaine kommenterar albumet: ”There’s a lot of riffing going on in there, that’s for damn sure. There’s a lot of solos, a lot of pounding drums and bass. I knew from the start that I wanted to go back to my roots, and I wanted to make a thrash record.”
”Over the years we’ve always said, ’We’re going back to our roots.’ But the naysayers, they just want Rust In Peace 20 times, which is never gonna happen. Because I’ve never written the same song twice. Unlike a lot of other rock and metal bands that, you know, they rely on a set formula, I try and make the songs all different. The funny thing, though, was that when [Megadeth bassist David] Ellefson was doing the bass tracks, I was telling him, ’This is the Tornado [Tornado Of Souls] part,’ ’This is the Bad Omen part,’ ’This is the Black Friday part,’ ’This is the Holy Wars part.’ Because a lot of the things were in that kind of vein. Now, is it going back in time? Hell, I don’t know. But I like what I’m hearing.”
