"So Far, So Good... So What!" is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released by Capitol Records in 1988 (see 1988 in music). A remixed and remastered version including several bonus tracks, was released in 2004. It's the band's only album ever recorded with Chuck Behler and Jeff Young.

"In My Darkest Hour" was written by Dave Mustaine shortly after Cliff Burton's death. Burton was the bassist for Metallica, which Mustaine was a part of in the early 1980s.

"Anarchy in the U.K." is a cover version of a Sex Pistols song with incorrect lyrics. This cover also features Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.
