New Megadeth is pretty good

Where can I find this new sexiness?

 

[The Grayfox]

In a very Kerrazy place...

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Dave is still christian right?

 

[AsModEe]

probably

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

That means im not going to buy it. I made a mistake with the last two.

He will never top his older work.

 

[AsModEe]

you know, you can be a pretty big idiot sometimes.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

of course

it's actually not too bad of an album; definitely of countdown and youthanasia standards (i.e, a few greats and a bunch of decent). which is about the level of system, but system didn't really capture that great megadeth sound. that put it on par with hero (for me). i liked hero a lot!

AND christianity only affects music when it enters the music. usually. i'm sure there are some bands i like that have christian members. YOU TOO.

 

[AsModEe]

I liked hero too, so I'll probably check it out.

 

[Enemy242]

i've only listened to it about twice so far, but theres only really 4 songs that really stand out as good to me and the others are pretty mediocre. i'll have to listen more, i was pretty surprised that so far sleepwalker is one of my favorite songs even though it only has like 3 riffs in the entire thing.

 

[AsModEe]

hmm yeah sleepwalker was pretty huh... sleep inducing after some listens.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

sleepwalker has a some dynamic riffing and i swear, if it were played a bit faster it could have been on the first album. mustaine just rehashed all the techniques in loved to death.

also, washington is next, is total maiden worship. it's like wasted years meets number of the beast meets trooper or aces high.

 

[Lunar Still]

I'm itching to hear A Tout Le Monde with Cristina Scabbia singing on it.

Believer is one of my favorite tech thrash bands


Is the new album as strong as Eidolon's last one (I know they're completely different)

 

[Lord Foul]

I'm itching to hear A Tout Le Monde with Cristina Scabbia singing on it.

Ugh...that track is a crime against music

Edit: Here, but don't say you weren't warned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IwbviL3ngA

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

I really wish I knew what they changed to destroy it so utterly. Is it the tempo? the production?

the video is interesting despite dave's weird pseudo acting

 

[Lunar Still]

Yeah, that's not nearly as good as it could have been. I can tolerate Dave's vocals when she and Cristina are actually singing together (possibly just because of her?)...and I agree with penguin, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's wrong with it. The tempo change definitely doesn't help it, though.

 

[derek]

Woah, that is shockingly bad.

 

[Lunar Still]

I just watched the Roadrunner video (which has better sound quality than YouTube, of course). I think if they would have just kept it at the same tempo as the original, they would have been fine. Dave's voice has survived better than most of his contemporaries, and the new Drover solo is kinda cool.

So, yeah. It didn't nearly reach the potential it could have, but, I MIGHT be able to get used to it after repeat listens.
