Unfortunately, as you would expect no other RIP or KIMB. What is unfortunately missing miserably on this album, is the typical complexity of Megadeth songs. Was initially also disappointed some because it unlike Endgame, which I liked very much seemed a bit too lax in the first moment.
This album is pure thrash / speed metal fans probably again not like.
But all those whom it is not just about speed and hardness and which can also "normal" & Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and resign, this album is like a very high probability.
Although Ok it is not very complex, which is why I would give only 4.5 star or 8 out of 10 points, but this makes it good again with catchiness. After about by listening to 10 times, I find some songs really really great and in the field Rock / Metal, you should in my opinion, before give only no vote. Actually, since 10 times more for very little :) FYI: The first earwigs stood with me, the second time a hearing by.
What is missing this album in complexity, thus making it to earwigs bet and how many albums of recent times can say the same. 5 stars are a bit much, but 4 would be too little for my tastes.
Besides these, this album is really very varied. From songs like buildt for War & Turn Your Back, which come along very thrashy on Heavy Metaligen Blackest Crow (Ac. Intro) Forget to Remember & Kingmaker for relaxing, but Metal leagues Super Collider, to name only the most important.
That makes it more interesting for me than many Slayer, Kreator, thrash album, which often offer only little variety. Sure, everything is a matter of taste, but who are less than 3 points the album, in my opinion, does great injustice ^^. Because I'm someone who also likes all new and unknown albums / bands sounds and there does not count for me the argument that would be this album for new bands too weak, because what new band manages such change / catchiness & guitar solos in a accommodate album? Virtually no.
Of course, the Megadeth Hardcorefan is better used and the Thrashfan it is too slow, but first, the album is not bad or long-winded (in my view), will also be no pure thrash album and secondly, we are unfortunately reached a point at which one may be critical alzu no longer, because, unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer good or inventive bands and unfortunately is what also very pains me since RIP nothing comparable! in this style! come. Neither of Megadeth, even from other bands. I do not want to give up hope that the speed metal / (Thrash) style of the old Metallica & Megadeth does not die, but that is clearly a different issue, because this album is awesome in its own way and should have said like many previous speakers has, can not re-boil an over 20-year-old soup / discussion :)
As I said, unfortunately, 4.5 stars is not, so I rate with respect to the overall by 5.
Each of a Varied Metal album, between the styles of Cryptic W., The World Needs a Hero, YTA, United Abominations & Endgame or a mix between the styles of Megadeth, Maiden, Metallica, and rock bands like Scorpions, Gun's imagine n Roses can that unfortunately is not very Complex not, but catchy, I can recommend this album highly, everyone else should probably with a friend, etc. Pre-listening, if this is something for you.
Wishes all a lot of fun listening to or not ^^
