Default Megadeth - Endgame

So I'm in the process of listening to the newest Megadeth album and so far.. it's awful. The music is good enough, but the lyrics are horrible. Mustaine even sounds like he's just phoning it in. There's not real angst where there should be, and it's entirely too literal. Every song sounds like he's lost the ability to to use any subtlety whatsoever.

Now to be fair, Mustaine has never been vague in his lyrics, it's usually pretty apparent what the song is about based on what he's written, but Endgame takes it down a notch to the point where it sounds like he's reading from newspaper articles or some crappy screenplay.

Anyone else listen to this yet?
