Yes I'm new to the forums but my ears are golden and I can stake anything on that....
1. Love you guys, love this forum.
2. I have been a follower of Andy's work on most, if not all albums.
3. I think Andy has become very lazy in his work. I was extremely disappointed with Megadeth's last CD from Andy - the songs were great but he wanted to put his "balls to the wall" stamp on it and killed the CD. I even played it for a "non-engineer" and he said "the sound is loud, but flat, and my head hurts listening to it."
4. Andy's "sounds" are starting to sound alike,from band to band. It was cool in 1998 when he was doing good bands, but now it just sounds compression lazy to me. To me the last good recordings he did was Stuck Mojo and Pissing Razors, then he just got lazy.
5. If you dont' agree with me, you are: 1) tone deaf 2) an idiot 3) an idiot who is tone deaf
