Dave Mustaine told Revolver magazine, “There’s a lot of riffing going on in there, that’s for damn sure. There’s a lot of solos, a lot of pounding drums and bass. I knew from the start that I wanted to go back to my roots, and I wanted to make a thrash record”.

Dystopia debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Hard Rock Albums charts, No. 2 on the Top Current Albums chart and No. 3 on The Billboard 200. On February 12, 2017, Megadeth picked up their first-ever Grammy for “Best Metal Performance” at the 59th annual Grammy Awards, nominated for “Dystopia”, the title track of the album.
