Got the new Megadeth yet?

Bean · 09-23-2004, 06:50 PM

Yeah, I got it last week, and I positively LOVE it. My favs so far:

Scorpion
Shadow of Deth
Can't die dead enough

I love the idea that Vic is back and making a vocal appearance

Thoughts?

Well, I haven't really listened to it all that much. Basically, I bought Rust in Peace a few months ago because it had a lot of good reviews and I was curious about Megadeth, when I got it, I hated it, but gradually I came to like it and eventually love it, so I went on the hunt for more Megadeth last week and bought the new one and Peace Sells, and so far, I'm liking Peace sells an having a hard time getting into the new one, I'm keeping an open mind though, at least it's better than St. Anger.

Cymro · 10-01-2004, 03:53 PM

I've come around to it, I LOVE Kick the Chair, Blackmail the Universe is good, Scorpion is good, though I think the Verse is rather tedious, Back in the Day Rocks, Truth Be Told Kicks ass, Mice and Men is a pile of shit, Shadow Of Deth is cool, and so is My Kingdom. I think Die Dead Enough sounds like Bon Jovi's newest stuff. Something that I'm not is alright I suppose.

Call me old fashioned, but I think Mustaine is far better at Angry Political songs than these sort of "Woe is Me" kind of shit, of course, Scorpion, much like Tornado of Souls is a Solid piece of melodic Metal.

Cymro · 10-04-2004, 09:12 PM

Any thoughts?

Bean · 10-05-2004, 03:22 PM

I agree. I'm glad he seems to have gone back to his angry at the world type of music. Although I liked the "woe is me" albums (Cryptic writings, Risk) he's much better at this stuff. Kick the chair is one I'd put right up there with Hangar 18 and return to Hangar as far as heavy ass kicking music goes.

Cymro · 10-06-2004, 02:39 PM

Though I haven't heard Return to the Hangar, I'd say it's more like Take no Prisoners.

So far, I have TSHF, Peace Sells, So Far So Good So What, Rust in Peace, Hidden Treasures(Which is really good for what it is), and Cryptic Writings. Haven't really given CR much playtime since I got 5 of those albums all last week, as well as Green Day's new one. Next Puchases will be Countdown (Though I can't find it anywhere, and even amazon has to ship it from America), Killing is My Business, and I'll see where it goes from there. I doubt I'll ever buy Risk, as the Amazon previews sound shit.

I still think their best is Rust in Peace.

Bean · 10-08-2004, 05:37 PM

Rust in Peace is what made them big. It's kind of like Master of Puppets for Metallica, or Justice maybe. Risk is a good album, it's good music, it's just not good Megadeth. Countdown I would compare to Metallica's Black album. It was really their first big mainstream hit. A really good album nonetheless, but it tends to sound repetitive after awhile. Actually, Youthanasia sounds alot like Countdown, but I tend to get more replay out of that album than Countdown or Rust.

Cymro · 10-09-2004, 12:36 PM

A friend of mine (who provided copies of 3 of the albums) has Youthanasia on tape only, so I'm gonna have to buy that one myself, since I don't have a tape player.
