I thought the same thing, except the growing part. Our bassist likes it I guess. but he worships Mustaine so his critique is naturally going to be biased.
I've only heard it once...didn't really like it. The solos are pretty fuckin awesome though. I'll give it another few spins, see if it grows. Lately I've just been all about the new Type O.
Hell Yeah! The new Type O is still godly...New Megadeth is pretty decent so far, could be the best thing in the past few years from them, but not Rust In Peace 2 by any stretch...
