The ultimate Anarchist's Guidebook For Dumbs from the late eighties. Much less proto-PUNKISH snarls and more HEADBANGER's sky high binge drinking Thrash. Mid-tempo, galloping, catchy as Hell - welcome to the epic Heavens of naughty fisting riffs. There is a cover of Sex Pistol's Anarchy in the U.K. for which Megadeth did a partly cartoonish and animated videoclip. Note the band members' white shoes and tight jeans, as well as the drummer's hair. So much for the stylistic eighties. Set The World Afire was the song I would listen to every time that, as a kid, I had to do something I shouldn't be doing. Now if you haven't done anything you shouldn't be doing yet, you probably never will. Too bad!
