1990. Return to Metalopolis

is the first album by former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland, released in May.

After leaving Megadeth, Poland was treated successfully for substance abuse, and joined punk rock legends The Circle Jerks as a bass player. In 1990, he released  a solo album. Shortly beforehand, he agreed to record demos for Megadeth's fourth album, Rust in Peace, but declined what would be the first of two offers to re-join the band permanently (in this instance partly because of his concentration on his solo album, and the fact that, since most of the album's music and arrangements had already been written, Poland felt that the scope for his input would be limited). Guitarist Marty Friedman joined Megadeth later that year, and adapted some of Poland's guitar solos for the release version of Rust in Peace, which would go on to be one of Megadeth's most critically praised albums.

As a big fan of his work in Megadeth, Chris Poland is a great guitar player. And he proves it on this album. He constructed melodies and riffs that mesh both his jazz and metal leanings together into a unique blend.
