SO FAR, SO GOOD... SO WHAT!


So Far, So Good... So What! is the third studio album by the American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on January 19, 1988 by Capitol Records. 


It is the band's only album recorded with drummer Chuck Behler and guitarist Jeff Young, both of whom were fired immediately after its subsequent tour. So Far, So Good... So What! features music performed at very fast tempos with technical ability; lyrically, frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine addresses a variety of topics, including nuclear holocaust and freedom of speech.

The record was well received among contemporary music critics, although retrospective analysis has been less favorable. It managed to enter the top 30 on the Billboard 200 with no commercial radio play; it charted in several other countries as well. The album was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and indicated Megadeth's forthcoming emergence from the underground scene. A remixed and remastered edition of the album, including several bonus tracks, was released in August 2004.

1. "Into the Lungs of Hell" 3:29 
2. "Set the World Afire" 5:48 
3. "Anarchy in the U.K." (Sex Pistols cover) 3:00 
4. "Mary Jane" 4:25 
5. "502" 3:28 
6. "In My Darkest Hour" 6:16 
7. "Liar" 3:20 
8. "Hook in Mouth" 4:40
