It was released in 2005 by [[Capitol Records]]. The tracklist for Back to the Start was largely the result of a poll on their official website, in which tens of thousands of fans voted for their favorite tracks from the band's albums and rarities compilation. All songs are digitally [[remastered]]. The face of Megadeth's mascot [[Vic Rattlehead]] can be seen in the [[mushroom cloud]] on the album cover. The mushroom cloud itself is likely from one of the tests in [[Operation Castle]]. ==Track listing== # "[[Holy Wars...
