Im glad to see Megadeth is finally back with a great sounding album from beginning to end but has one speedbump along the way.A toute le mond I think they should have left this tune alone as now I never want to hear it again as they killed it with that lacuna coil singer on there.There where killer when I saw them in toronto when they opened for heaven and hell along with down.
I haven't heard this album yet but I'm certainly going to give it a go here soon. Unfortunately, for me, Megadeth ended up in my books much like Metallica: their work after a certain album just didn't seem to appeal to me much anymore. Don't get me wrong, there have been a number of songs on each album that I totally dig but as far as listening to an album all the way through, I haven't been able to do that with Megadeth since Countdown to Extinction... maybe Youthanasia as well. Where Metallica is concerned, I used to dig the whole black album but that was years ago. Now, anything past Justice, I can't happily listen all the way through.
Anywho, that all being said, I think Dave is one hell of a guitarist and I've always considered him an amazing riff writer. I'm looking forward to listening to this album. Thanks for bringing it up. =)
