Megadeth - Basic Dreams
Review by Novita Rini
Basic Dreams by Megadeth is a solid album that showcases the band's signature thrash metal sound. The album features 10 tracks, each with its own unique energy and intensity. The lyrics are thought-provoking and deal with themes such as personal struggles, societal issues, and political commentary.
The opening track, "Wake Up Dead," sets the tone for the album with its fast-paced riffs and aggressive vocals. Other standout tracks include "The Threat is Real" and "Fatal Illusion," which feature intricate guitar work and powerful drumming.
Despite its heavy sound, Basic Dreams also displays a sense of musical maturity and experimentation. The track "Dystopia" incorporates symphonic elements, while "Conquer or Die!" features a guitar duet that showcases the band's technical prowess.

Notes
- Virtually complete concert recorded live at Hammersmith Odeon, London (day 2 of 2), September 30, 1992.
- Taken from the Japanese TV show version of this concert, all the dead airs and speeches between the songs were edited out.
- Like many Octopus reissues, there is some technical errors on the inserts, and it seemed that some sets available on the market include the original booklet of the Backstage release instead of the Octopus one.
