Best review I’ve read. Mustaine needs poverty, and needs it fast.

I find it very amusing (emphasis on amused) that "paid" critics attempt to get their views across on the most labyrinthine platitudes; you're writing for metal heads…..wtf? I am a fan of both Megadeth and Metallica. Any true fan that knows the history would simply point out what the album Kill Em All stood for and and hammering "we'll never sell out"..lmfao, since when did doing Bob Seger covers become pioneering or heavy metal country music, again wtf. Your inference to not knowing what a Porsche's "soul" feels like speaks volumes of your blatant inability to be unbiased, and more importantly to be cerebral when assessing one's opinion. Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest guitarist(s) period. The fact that he has been to hell and back personally and is STILL crushing gives him integrity and validation; something you should work on in your anti-Mustaine dramaturgy you call a review. By the way, High Speed Dirt is about one of his friends that died in a skydiving accident and 1320 is about Dave's passion for speed, I can see how you made the quantum leap to connect the two, good grief. My suggestion Cosmo is that you find someone that actually knows the history of the thrash-metal movement in the eighties and let them explain the obvious. My personal view of your opinion is you have a sophmoric understanding about actual music and non-existant grasp on Megadeth, let alone metal.

I think it's a bit of both.

"A style of super-technical deathcore"

a question I have whenever I find myself listening at some song by such a band is: do listeners really believe all that unison super-shredding/stopstarting on a dime/hyperblas stuff is doable by every one of these bands live? There's so many of them and they sound exactly the same! If it's not studio magic then the threshold for technicality in starting out metal bands has really gone up 400% over the last 10 years.

Divorce isn't a good topic for neither a metal song nor a ballad.

Having been a Megadeth fan since Peace Sells I can honestly say that Endgame is the best thrash release from an original thrash band since 1990. That includes their own releases which were designed to compete commercially. Plus-what was wrong with The System Has Failed and United Abominations? Both great thrash albums-just not on par with Endgame or The Formation of Damnation by Testament

i never really liked mega.mainly the production of the first 3-4 albums was just bad and turned me off to them.being a musician that's my opinion.i like a few songs off of each album,but countdown was just different from the rest.once they got nick menza in,they just sounded better.then fast forward to rude awakinging dvd…man,THAT was a kick ass band(that's right,i said kick ass…) if that ine up recorded all the earlier albums,things would be different.

Yeah, I've heard Very Good Things about the upcoming Slayer. (Might have even been here?)

When the band's saying that the Reign to Seasons era albums had some magic to them and they're going back to that, there's reason to hope.

Helm – A style of super-technical deathcore typical of bands on Sumerian Records. Knowing you, yes, you probably don't want to know.

"summeriancore"?

Perhaps I don't really want to know.
