Anyone else checked-out the new Megadeth album? So, I'm a big Megadeth/Mustaine fan, thing is though, I really only love the first albums up-to-and-including Rust In Peace. Countdown and Youthanasia had some decent songs but I never fell in love with them, the early albums just had something about them, especially Peace Sells with Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson with their musicianship and insanity which paired well with a pissed-off Mustaine. So Far, So Good, So What is another favorite - Set the World Afire...In My Darkest Hour, Mary Jane...?! Jeff Young was also a sick, sick guitarist and that's another favorite although I hear a lot of people say they never really dug it. Rust In Peace is a masterpiece, Holy Wars to this day is probably my all-time favorite all-around metal song. But after that, Marty's influence wanted to take it into a poppier direction and this is where I lost a lot of interest in the band.
The past several albums for me have been let-downs but I've got to say that I was pretty surprised at the latest album, Dystopia. I've only given it about three listens, but there are some solid songs on here and I'm really blown-away at Kiko Loureiro's musicianship and work on here - the dude RIPS! It's still not on the level of old Megadeth, but it is not bad at all and a far cry from some of the more recent offerings from Mustaine.
