Fans who felt short-changed by 2005's 17-track and crushed beneath the formidable weight of 2007's five-disc box will revel in the perfectly balanced brutality of Anthology: Set the World Afire, a two-disc (33 tracks) chronological rendering of the heavy metal pioneers' entire catalog. Along with the usual suspects like 'Trust,' 'Peace Sells,' 'A Tout le Monde,' 'Hangar 18,' 'Wake Up Dead,' and 'Symphony of Destruction,' includes two previously unreleased live recordings, as well as two demos, one an ultra-rare recording of 'High Speed Dirt,' a track cut immediately after left. From the raw, Southern California thrash of 1985's to the tech-heavy, progressive metal of 2007's, this presents a deafeningly clear and succinct argument as to why has managed to stick around for so long, while others acts laid down their guns in their wake.
MEGADETH's 'Anthology: Set The World Afire' ( Capitol/ EMI) career-spanning 2-CD and digital collection sold around 2,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Also included are rare 1992 concert recordings of 'Peace Sells' and 'Symphony of Destruction', previously available only in limited release, the latter having never been released in the U.S. 'High Speed Dirt' is a demo version, previously unreleased.

Megadeth Anthology Set The World Afire Rarity Lyrics
As a long time Megadeth fan, I find this release fairly unexciting because it’s obviously nothing new. I've heard everything before and I'm sure you have too. I own most of the albums, Back To The Start, and The Arsenal Of Megadeth. Other fans of Megadeth will most likely agree with me and be bored and probably feel conned out of their money, considering the X number of compilations and Best of’s already out there. This release is the same old Megadeth, just in different order, in a different package. But I'm not here to review this for its content relevance; I'm here to review this for what it is. An anthology.
A good anthology should contain the major songs from a bands entire catalogue. Which is covered here relatively well with the omission of some newer stuff. Unlike Back to the Start, which was the first album I bought that got me into Megadeth; this is a two disk collection. It spans from 85’s Killing is my Business to 01’s The world Needs a Hero, respectively, with some live tracks thrown into the mix. The coverage of Megadeth’s career goes as follows: 3 from Killing is my Business, 3 from Peace Sells, 4 from So Far, So Good, So What?, 4 from Rust in Peace, 6 from Countdown to Extinction (including Demos), 3 from Youthanasia, 3 from Hidden Treasures, 2 from Trust, 2 from Risk, 1 from The World Needs a Hero, and some very good live tracks as well. This anthology is pretty solid as far anthologies go. However, I did not like the fact that The System has Failed was not included for it has some excellent tracks.
The inclusion of 4 tracks from So Far, So Good, So What? I thought was a bit much because although it is a very good album, it is (in my opinion) not as important as Peace Sells or Rust in Peace, and I don’t think Anarchy in the U.K. Should have been included. I also thought that countdown to extinction was heavily represented and more should have been from the thrash era Megadeth. Although I'm not surprised at this considering the popularity of 90’s mainstream Megadeth and Dave’s goal for success. Overall though, this is a competent anthology and a decent illustration of the history of Megadeth.
Especially the live tracks, which are my favourites. Covering the history of Megadeth in one release is almost pointless to fans of the band because there are already so many releases available. To fans that already have all of the albums and I would advise not buying this because it contains nothing you haven’t all ready heard before (and paid good money for).
I do however, recommend this for youngsters who have never heard Megadeth before and are interested in them to buy this because it covers all the Key songs throughout the history of this legendary band. On the plus side, it’s relatively cheap. I bought it at Wall-Mart for $15! Yes another one. As much as I love Megadeth, this has to stop. Dave must really be pressed for cash or something.
Not only has he re-released and remastered the entire back catalog, which were horrible next to the originals, he dumps another 'Greatest Hits' album on us. So far, we have 'Capitol Punishment', 'Back to the Start', and the 'Warchest'. Three is already too many for any band to have, but apparently Dave doesn't think so. As such, we now have 'Set the World Afire', a two disc greatest hits compilation that includes songs from the beginning up to Ellefson's departure. This is a positive for me as, even though I enjoy the new Megadeth albums, after Ellefson left it was really just a Dave Mustaine solo project under the Megadeth name. The other positive thing about this release is that 'Killing is my Business' was not shafted, although only two tracks were included. 'Killing is my Business' is my third favorite Megadeth album, behind 'Peace Sells' and 'Rust in Peace' respectively, and I'm very pleased with the album's inclusion.
The last positive comment it is possible to make are the live bits from 1992. This should be enough to excite any serious Megadeth fan, as anything featuring the Mustaine/Friedman/Ellefson/Menza lineup live are few and far between. It also somehow manages to be the best Megadeth compilation so far, outside the 'Warchest.' As much as I would like to keep the positive comments rolling, it is here that I can go no further. What you have read above is not enough to keep me from giving a bad review. First off, all the songs are the remixed and remastered versions.
If you are a big enough Megadeth fan, you should know why this is a problem. Dave practically ruined these classics when he remixed the albums, but including them on a 'Greatest Hits' compilation is going a little too far. This is the second compilation of the 2004 remixes, and by now it is pretty apparent Dave is forcing us to accept these mixes as the standard. The problem is that anyone new to the band will probably start here and assume this is how these tracks are supposed to sound. The only thing I know to compare this to is George Lucas and Star Wars. There was nothing wrong with the original movies, but Lucas insisted they were not good enough and edited the hell out of them.
The basic elements remained, but something was seriously wrong. The fans of the originals were horrified and newcomers didn't know any better, not realizing how much was destroyed. The same goes for these remixed tracks. The basic elements of the originals are there, but enough was changed to make them not sit quite right with longtime fans. Another complaint I have with this offering is the track selection themselves. The bulk of the material here, is heavily focused on 90's Megadeth.
Obviously this would be the case, as this is a 'hits' album after-all, but still I find myself quite disappointed. Only nine tracks of the thirty-five are from the pre-'Rust in Peace' albums, and only four tracks are from 'Rust in Peace'. Not only this, but three of the included songs are fucking demos.
Seriously, demos do not belong on an album such as this. Hell, they don't really belong anywhere, as most people listen to them once and never listen to them again afterwards. Why put demos when you could just include the actual studio album recordings. One thing I'm just confused about is fact 'Crush 'em' was omitted.

I'm not complaining because I don't like 'Risk' anyway, but you would think the song would be featured on such an album. Even though this collection spans 2 discs, It offers nothing new. Sure you get what you expect, maybe a little less, but nothing more. It scrapes by with the bare minimum and is pretty expensive as well. I can't see why anyone would want to spend 30 bucks on this. You could just as easily buy 3 used studio albums for that price. 'Anthology: Set the World Afire' should have been titled 'Half-Assed Attempt: Dave Takes a Piss on the Fans'.
This whole collection and the way it is put together, apart from it being the fourth compilation, was just an obvious attempt at making Mr. Mustaine a quick buck. You don't even get what you pay for in the long run. Remember when I said this was the best compilation?
Well that wasn't really saying much because the other ones were so shitty they somehow make this one seem acceptable. In conclusion, Megadeth fans should really stay away from this album. If you are a long time follower of the band, I suggest you burn your own 'Greatest Hits' CD for yourself since you probably own the original discs. You will save money and you will be much more pleased with the result.
Set The World Afire Lyrics
As for people wanting to get into Megadeth, I suggest tracking down the original albums, as they are far better and well worth the money. I feel as though I am being a bit generous with the rating; however, I give this a 50 for the live bits, the inclusion of 'Killing is my Business' tracks, and the fact this is the best Megadeth compilation thus far, even though that doesn't mean much.
Review Summary: Megadeth sets my ears on fire with this awesome compilation! I would like to share something with you all. The other day I was getting ready to embark on a trip that would take two hours. I asked myself “How in the world can I kill two hours'” And then it instantly hit me: Music.
The question was; what kind of music' I took a look at my CD collection. Then a name caught my eye: MEGADETH! I was a dedicated Megadeth fan during my teens, without them I never would have survived high school. Of course it was simply just a phase; I haven’t heard Dave Mustaine’s crazy cohorts for three years now. So I decided to give this compilation a listen, I never heard it from start to finish before. I put the disc inside my music player and simply pressed play.
And time ceased to exist instantly by the very first track! Every track in this “Anthology” displays the sheer raw power that Megadeth contributed to the Thrash metal scene. What I really like about this album is how the songs are chronologically ordered; the listener can fully experience the musical growth of this band. Disc one is the showcase of the band’s early “thrashy” roots with strong powerful numbers like “Mechanix”, “Devil’s Island” and “Rattlehead”. Not only was Mr.
Mustaine skilled on the guitar but everyone in the band were just powerful, especially the early lineup. Dave Ellefson’s bass guitar dominates track for track maintaining the tempo and understanding the complex time changes. Tracks like “Peace Sells”, “Tornado of Souls”, “Sweating Bullets” and “Hangar 18” are just snippets of Ellefson’s skills. “Wake up Dead” is Megadeth at their finest with sheer intensity, fast chord progressions, different tempo changes, grooves and phenomenal guitar soloing throughout the track, accompanied with some humor in the lyrics. And the same goes for the other classic “Holy WarsPunishment Due” truly a headbanger’s dream.
Yes they had the songs that would pump your blood but they also had their catchy tunes. This is what the listener will mostly hear from Disc Two when the band experimented and leaned towards a more of an “Alternative mainstream” sound.

Such songs like “A Tout le Monde”, “Trust” and my personal favorite “Insomnia” which is really catchy and enjoyable. Not enjoyable like their Thrash songs but more enjoyable as a pop song sort of way.
The second disc does sound different than the first but it’s not weak at all, the band still maintain to dish out speedy powerful songs like the killer “Skin O’ My Teeth”, “Foreclosure of a Dream” and “Angry Again”. All tracks that revisit their early Thrash roots with better production and consistency. It’s strange to have filler material in a “best of” album. There should never be any filler material in such albums, hence the name “best of”. Unfortunately this “Anthology” is plagued with filler stuff. Useless Demo tracks like “Crowns of Worms” and “High Speed Dirty” just seems to ruin the flow of the album. The instrumental “Into the Lungs of Hell” was unnecessary.
And a bunch of sound tracks from movies and video games that doesn’t leave a lasting impression. Another low blow was the live version of “Symphony of Destruction” was included and not the studio version.
I personally prefer the studio version. By the end of the album I never did notice that two hours have elapsed and I arrived at my destination.
Deep down my teenage self pleaded more time and more Megadeth. That’s how great this album was. I highly recommend it to anyone that’s into Metal, Megadeth, or just wants to unleash the teenage rage of the past for awhile (like me). Trust me it’s worth it.
