Shredlord, Jammin Jon and Necrotic Nick go over the long awaited new offering from thrash metal legends Megadeth with their new album "The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!" out now!

Thanks guys!!! Awesome review
Necrotic Nick- Holy shit! Kiko! Dude, thank you so much, man! You flat out killed it on here! Keep up the amazing work and send the rest of the band our most metal regards! Hails!
thank you For this Masterpiece! ❤️
You are an amazing musician Kiko and your TH-cam lessons and videos are so inspiring. Also thank you for thanking the Thralls crew, they're awesome aren't they. Rock On!!
No Sir, it is us who thank you for creating the Album, can't stop listening! 🔥🤘🔥
Kiko, Thank You for being a part of Megadeth. My sons(especially my young guitarist in the family) and I all feel you fit so amazingly well in the band. That's no disrespect to any of the previous guys. They all could play. But the interplay between you and Dave(similar to the Marty days) felt, for lack of a better term, beautiful. Especially seeing you guys live here in Boston. You guys were absolutely amazing.
I'd love for this to be Megadeth's lineup for the rest of the band's existence.
Correction: this is Dave’s 16th album, and Dystopia came in 16. 🤘🏻✋🏻
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well.
Yeah this album was a fucking blast. More consistent then Dystopia imo.
Gonna give it a good listen during a drive tonight. Loved Dystopia and was deep into a Rust In Peace listen last night.
Although Dystopia was 2016, even if that year feels like 9 years ago.
I listened to the new album and then rust in peace and it was seamless as I was working great soundtrack to a workout....🤘🤘
2016 was another fucking lifetime brother............it feels like 100 years ago to me rather than a short 6. Also, this album is pretty good.
Listened to Chris Polands solo album again yesterday. What a great player, incredible tone and avant-garde chord phrasings and progressions. Poland helped make Peace Sells sound special and unique!
Jeff Beck was a major influence on his playing.
Gotta check it out thanks!
Necrotic Nick- I have one of Chris's early albums and man, can that dude play. He's up there for my favorite Megadeth guitarists.
@@thrallsofmetal The shit him and Gar were doing before Megadeth is levels above any 80's thrash band. Insane Jazz fusion. But it was awesome that we got to hear their talents in Megadeth for sure.
Shred was totally fanboying here. Lol. In all fairness, I was when I first heard it.
I love Megadeth. One of my personal favorite bands. This album was very strong. Best album since Endgame. My favorite songs were Dogs of Chernobyl (might be my favorite song on it), We'll Be Back, and Night Stalkers. I did feel that toward the middle, it faltered a little bit, but the back end of this record is strong. It's in the mix for album of the year for me.
4.5/5 for me, at least.
Necrotic Nick- There was no containing the joy that was inside him. There was definitely a profound gushing from him on this review lol. I've been a Megadeth fan since I was about 15 and this was honestly their best since Endgame in my opinion. I'd even throw Celebutante on that list with all the nasty Bay Area thrash vibe that's all over it. There are some weaker tracks but over all this is a banger.
@@thrallsofmetal Agreed. Best album since Endgame. I don't if it's better than Endgame rn because Endgame has been best Megadeth album in the 21st century imo.
This album floored me. Just finished listening to it on my way home from work.
I get what Jon means about the production opening out after a heavily-compressed start. It's like being buried up to your neck and getting beaten with the spade, then being walked outside and told to run from the firing squad.
Agreed Kiko is a strong side guy. Devestating technique. He's up there with Chris Poland and Marty, for sure.
Wow! Just wow! Megadeth, my favorite band coming out with an absolutely killer album. This was like the ultimate early birthday present for me, the riffs make me make the bacon making noises and faces. Dave and Kiko are just the fucking guitar duo man, one of the best guitar duos in metal in my opinion. This was a certified banger, definitely worth the wait. Great review guys! Megafuckingdeth forever! 🤘
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I had a hunch with the singles that this would be solid. There's an intensity to this one that I hadn't heard since Endgame honestly. Dave and Kiko play well off each other and Kiko lead work is so damn good on here. Outside of a couple of weaker track this was awesome.
As an old school Deth fan, I was worried about this album, but thank you guys for setting my mind to rest.
Necrotic Nick- I felt pretty confident about this one when I heard the singles. There was a renewed energy all over this album that I really latched on to. Killer album.
Hehe shredlord looks as happy as i do for the new megadeth record
I don't feel the song writing is as good as Dystopia - but a very good album none-the-less. Kiko is always terrific. All their lead players are light years ahead of Kirk Hammett... Marty IS amazing. The Riffs are pleanty but no one riffs more than Goatwhore
This is absolutely the strongest thing Megadeth has done for a very very long time. I actually was surprised how much I was enjoying this. It does have a couple of dips in quality (I'm not the biggest fan of Junkie or Mission to Mars), but overall this whoops ass. I definitely think allowing more input from Kiko and Dirk on the songwriting has really opened Mustaine up to being able to create some of the best material they've done potentially for decades. I absolutely fucking adore the production aswell tbh. I didn't think Mustaine had it in him to create something so good anymore but I am so glad to be wrong! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Necrotic Nick- I knew when I heard the singles that this was not just another run of the mill Megadeth outing. This one is aggressive as hell and just feels tighter and more focused overall. There are some filler tracks but they don't hamper the album very much and I like the fact that Dirk and Kiko were actively writing on this one and they contributed to some killer songs. There's a part of me that hopes that "We'll Be Back" being the last track on here is Dave saying "just wait, there's more". lol
Yeah , junkie and mission to mars are the weird ones but its like a little break between the awesome , i do like Mission to Mars more than what i should tho 😂
Man it's only been a day but I got the vinyl and cd for this album same with dystopia (it's been 6 not 9 years) I'm dyslexic and do that alot so all is forgiven lol. I put it right on the same level as dystopia I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10 it's fantasic. 🤘
How does the vinyl sound. Is it recorded low level or good level? Modern vinyl seems to be recorded to vinyl lower than it used to be and you have to turn it up a lot on the receiver to get good level. LMK
@@melovemusic69 it sounds really solid tbh it is slightly quite but I got a good sound system deffently worth the buy 🤘🤘🤘
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well. I should have double checked but the excitement of going over the album got to me. I like this one more than Dystopia and I do really enjoy that album. There's more intensity to this one and Kiko just destroys on here.
As for Megadeth touring with FFDP, they actually toured Europe in early 2020 and then after that tour ended, that's when the world fell apart and became a diseased mess!
Great review gentlemen, enjoying the channel from Ireland. If you havent done so already, a catalogue review of Megadeth featuring the Thralls of Metal is a must!
The new album has everything I love about Megadeth. Fast stuff, heavy stuff, goofy quirky stuff , awesome solos and riffs and some diversity.
I love it!
Necrotic Nick- Pretty much covered all the bases for me as well. There were a couple of weaker tracks but the strong one might be the strongest material from these guys in years.
Cant stop listening to it. I took a 3 song break with an onslaught from Vader. Then back to it Dave and Co. sound like a fighter jet to my ears. Proud and misty at what they represent to me!
I haven't heard it yet but i think it's cool that Dirk and Kiko both contributed to the writing.
Saw them last year and Kiko stands out Live big time. Dave’s voice in a live setting lacks a little bit( my only complaint) . I hope to see these tunes live soon.
"lacks a little bit" ?!! He cannot sing, his vocals are truly horrific. Just truly embarrassing.
@@BongEyedBastard better than yours on literally every level dude 😂
I absolutely agree, Kiko is the best since Marty. I saw them live, and there is such a fluidity between Kiko and Dave, like two peas in a pod, spagetti and meatballs, they just fit together.
Necrotic Nick- I've only seen Megadeth with Kiko but watching him play he's literally the perfect fit. His flair for unique phrasing and melody adds so much to the band.
I'm seeing Megadeth in a couple of weeks here in Hershey!
Best album since Endgame, 100%, and possibly since Countdown. Had no idea what to expect when I listened to it last night, but I was actually pleasantly blown away at how hard it rips.
Necrotic Nick- I'll go with best since Endgame but I really liked United Abominations too so I don't know if I can go much past that. I had a feeling the with singles being as good as they were that this was going to be a banger and it legit was.
Life in hell - best song since holy wars
I really loved Cryptic Writings and then Endgame and now this. But I think this may be even better than Endgame so yes it's almost Countdown level greatness.
Megadeth concerts 1991, 1995, 2017, 2021. They were great live band. Just bought the album today and I’ll check it out soon. 🤘🎸💀
Necrotic Nick- Only saw them in 2017 and this year. I'll go see them when their done touring with FFDP though.
Great review guys! I just listened to the new Megadeth album twice. It definitely rips! Dave brought riffs for days, Kiko is shredding leads, & Dirk and Steve are locked in. My favorite tracks are: the Title Track, Night Stalkers, We'll Be Back, Soldier On, & Killing Time. Maybe this album could've been 10 tracks, cutting Mission to Mars and Psychopathy. 4 out of 5 for me. Also hearing Sammy Hagar and Dave sing together on the bonus track was so cool!!. The Dead Kennedys cover was well done, but slightly sterile. In my opinion this album is instantly better than: The World Needs a Hero, Risk, 13, & Super Collider. Right now, for me, it's on par with: Endgame, United Abominations, and Dystopia. And thank you for not making me feel bad for not wanting to see them open for Five Finger Death Punch.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! This album did have a bit of filler but not much and I love the renewed aggression on this one. I didn't get the special edition so I missed out on the bonus tracks for this one but I may just hunt it down to hear those tracks. It'll be interesting to see where this one ranks when we do rank this discography at some point. Yeah, I just can't support FFDP but I'm sure they'll do another round of touring for this one.
Dystopia actually came out in 2016. I’ve been a fan of megadeth for over 30 years and I love the new album! Look forward to your Revocation review next week! Your channel kicks ass! 👊🏻🤘🏻
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well. I've been a fan since I was 15 and I love this one. It does have some weaker tracks but the strong ones make up for it big time. We're definitely looking forward to that new Revocation here. The singles have sounded sick as hell.
This album grows on me more and more could possibly be in top ten list of my ‘22 albums
This album is pretty awesome that's for sure. A banger. Dirk and Kiko bring Megadeth to a new level of aggression
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. They haven't been this consistently aggressive since Endgame in my opinion.
I gotta say though Broderick comes pretty fucking close to Marty and Kiko. And yes as for Marty since tornado of souls guitar solo he branded a trademark riff within that solo that Dave has used quite a few times throughout different songs mixed into his creative soloing, I'm guessing some of you might know what that particular shred riff is lol
Anytime Dave comes down from the mountain of metal and gives us a sermon, I will gladly listen to what he has to say. Megadeth has been constantly in my heavy metal rotation since my dad introduced them to me back when Countdown to Extinction came out, and I can honestly say his social commentary has helped shape my political views and how I read the news.
Necrotic Nick- I've been a Megadeth fan since I was 15 and that was a long time ago lol. I'm not always on board with everything Dave says but some of our outlooks do somewhat align from time to time.
Just found your channel guys - love what you do. As for the new Megadeth album. Yeah this rips, I've been waiting for this album since Rust In Peace. Riffs for miles, nasty bass grooves, superlative drumming. solo's from Olympus and Mr Mustaine can still spit bile and poison like a boss. Yup I'm happy.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We really appreciate that! This album definitely rips and I would even say it's their best since Endgame in my mind. They sound re-energized on this one and more aggressive. I need an album like this from them again.
So excited for this! RIP is my favorite metal album of all time, and I love most of Dave's output. I'm seeing them here in Michigan on October 5th and I couldn't be more excited for that either, never got to see them live before now. I hope I get to see you guys at a show sometime either here or in Ohio!
Necrotic Nick- This album was a blast to listen to. There's a renewed energy to this one versus Dystopia which I really enjoyed as well. I'm going to miss this current tour just because I can't in good conscience give FFDP any of my money but I'll hopefully catch Megadeth on the next tour.
@@thrallsofmetal That is entirely fair LOL
Graduated in 88 ... loved this band and what a great review guys! I SALUTE you all!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Been a fan since I was 15 and I've been eager to review a Megadeth album since we started doing this whole TH-cam thing.
It's always a good day when a new Megadeth album drops! Love Shred's enthusiasm for Dave and the band. Great review guys!
Necrotic Nick- Oh, Shred's has been eagerly awaiting this album so there was no way he was going to miss this review.
Riff fuckjng city is accurate. Been looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint in the least. Hopefully, there will be a proper headlining tour to support this album next year. Fuck yeah, Dave!
Very happy for Shred that this album came out. 😭
YEAAHHH BABY IT'S MEGADETH LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO
Necrotic Nick- It was worth the wait for sure.
Good review guys, I’d give it a definite 4 if they took out a few songs in the middle. Great album. I saw them last year In concert and they were flawless. Only complaint was they only played for an hour. 👍🏻💪🏻🤘🏻
Nothing wrong with RISK, just not a thrash album.
But Super Collider was a total disaster
Idk I didn't think Super Collider was that bad it just didn't sound like a Megadeth album it had more of like a Bon Jovi sound
It was called Risk for a reason. Lol.
Pre-ordered mine through Target because of the bonus tracks on that version. I know they're covers but man, when Megadeth releases something, I gotta have it. Gonna get the vinyl version with the extra 7" with a live track on it. Great review...As always.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I probably should have got the special edition but I just went for the standard edition this time. I might hunt down a special edition in the future though.
Nice review, man. Dirk is amazing, fits Megadeth really Well.
This album and United Abominations, in my opinion, are two of the best albums they've put out in recent years. Although, besides Super Collider, they've been pretty consistently good since the System Has Failed.
Necrotic Nick- I have a hunch this comment was meant for the Megadeath review lol.
Love the review, Nick, Shredlord and Jammin' Jon. It's so exciting to have a new Megadeth album. Awesome fellas, great works as always THRALLS OF METAL 😈🤘
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! It's great to have Megadeth back!
@@thrallsofmetal Thanks for the reply Nick, so cool 😈🤘
Saw this stream. Stopped everything. Poured a drink. Go on 🥃
This album was WAY better than Dystopia if you ask me. While I prefer Hetfield's riff writing more than Mustaine's, Dave did unleash hell on here. I do wish they would've stopped doing too many quickfire leads on the verses and combine them into one giant lead, but that's a minor nitpick.
Necrotic Nick- I still like Dystopia but this has way more energy and aggression to it. This sounds urgent again. I think Dave's the better riff writer but that's just me. Some of my favorite riffs in Metallica were ones that Dave worked on too.
I enjoy Dystopia especially Fatal Illusion but this album was even better than Endgame.
\m/ Good album. This Planet’s On Fire (Burn In Hell) is a Sammy Hagar song. Nick, Jon good meeting you Monday in Pontiac, MI at Deicide.
Thanks guys I listened to it it didn't hit me then I listened it again now I see what you mean. Dave is a warrior
It took 6 years between albums.. Not 9.. Dystopia came out in 2016.
I love the record 🤘amazing musicianships, the production is perfect modern but with old school touch, you can hear every instruments and no matter what Era of megadeth you like you will find something on it, each songs are great, no fillers.
And damn now that you said it guys 2016 was 9 years ago, crazy.
Keep up the good content guys, stay metal 🤘
Totally on the same page with you guys. It fires me the fuck up to hear Megadeth bring this energy again. The only song that leaves me scratching my head a bit is Mission To Mars. Mustaine sounds invigorated and the band is awesome. Killer riffs and solos at every turn. I definitely want to see them live soon.
Necrotic Nick- This album is a flat out riff factory and I love the speed and aggression on this one. There were some weaker tracks on it but the stronger ones make up for any shortcomings this album may have.
Brillant review guys🤘🤘
“ A Down Hill Boulder about to Crush an Orphanage!” Perfect review!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Violent riffs need violent descriptors lol!
Loved Celebutante, gave me vibes of Racer X and touches of pre phil Pantera, which as a huge Dime and Paul Gilbert fan was music to my ears 😄🤘
Dogs of Chernobyl is also a beast of a song!
Necrotic Nick- Honestly, Celebutante reminded me a lot of Kill 'em All oddly enough. There's an old school bay Area thrash bite to that song. Dog of Chernobyl is a sick song as well. I like the dark and moody vibe of it.
Nice review (I like Mission to Mars but I am an astronomy teacher) ^_^ you guys would be fun to hang out with
Dave… Is… a... MASTERMIND! 🤯
Necrotic Nick- No arguments here. Dude is a beast!
The album as a whole is way above Dystopia and the ones before it. Life in Hell is one of the heaviest riffs I've heard in a while. Great review, guys!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! There is a viciousness on this album I haven't heard since Endgame honestly. I liked Dystopia but this is way more thrashy and dynamic.
Great review guys. For a while I've felt Dystopia and Endgame were the best megarecords since Youthanasia. I think this tops both of those. To have a record this good, this deep in the catalogue is pretty sick.
And if that video of Hammett making a funny face at this stuff isnt a fake..... i love both bands, but mr "wah, I lost my cell phone" needs to stfu.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I really enjoyed both of those but I think this one at least out does Dystopia in terms of the raw aggression and Dirk's drum work lends itself to the faster thrashy pace of the album overall. I didn't know about any video that Kirk made but he shouldn't be talking any shit considering his band's recent output vs Megadeth's lol.
@@thrallsofmetal Well that and.... Hammet didn't even contribute anything to the last record.
Sorry, I simply cannot buy this bullshit of losing his phone.
-In this day and age, there''s a bunch of ways to store and backup any files on his phone.
-these guys have a whole team of full-time employees. IF Kirk isn't bright enough to know HOW to backup and/or save the stuff properly, someone on their staff has to.
-It's his godamm profession. other than maintaining the ability to play live, there's nothing more important than his song and riff ideas. IF he truly lost it, there's simply no excuse for that.
You ever see Hetfield's face when that came up in an interview?
So he brought no writing to Hardwired, and his solos were all improvised(and mostly WAH dependent). His solos were better when he didn't use the wah as much, and when he, 'did his homework'. Worked it out, tried ideas, like the whole bit in Year and a Half with the Unforgiven solo.
Dude is LAZY.
Great album, great review as always, hope you guys get to see Megadeth as soon as possible, sucks they have to tour with FFDP, i had a chance to see them live with Kreator and Gojira a few months ago, and le'me tell you Dave still sounds awesome!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm sure there's going to be more rounds of touring after they finish this one so I'll stay tuned for that comes up. I'm really looking forward to hearing these songs live.
Very enjoyable review. Keep going guys!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Plenty more on the horizon!
good review guys !
cheers
i feel like soldier on coulda been on SFSGSW, has the vibe from that album
Dystopia is from '16. 22 minus 16 equals 6 (years).
Best album since Endgame. My favourite song on this album is Dogs of Chernobyl. Kiko is killing it as usual
Always been a huge Megadeth fan.
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. Man, I really love We'll Be Back and Night Stalkers in particular on this one but Dogs of Chernobyl is a banger for sure.
This album I thought was very good. To me it's definitely Megadeth's best since Endgame. The band feels rejuvenated with the addition of Dirk Verbrueren and of course Kiko Loureiro giving it his all on guitar. There are a few dull tracks but for the most part the band is firing on all cylinders here.
Necrotic Nick- That's pretty much my view on this. It's reinvigorated and I would say it's at least on par with Endgame and allowing Kiko and Dirk to contribute to the writing process I think gives this album a bit more diversity in the riffs. There are some weaker tracks but the strong ones make up for them for me.
Definitely on par with Endgame. Perhaps even better.
waiting for mail to get my copy today can't wait to listen to it tonight
Necrotic Nick- I hope you woke the neighbors blasting it.
Been waiting to see what you metal fornicators thought about this album. I really liked the singles that I heard and my copy should be here tomorrow.
Necrotic Nick- This was well worth the wait. It does have some weaker tracks but the strong ones are some of his most intense material since Endgame.
After a while to sink my teeth into this one, if you create a Spotify Playlist and replace dogs of chernobyl with police truck--then mission to Mars with the world is on fire, this would be a legit 4.5* album. But those 2 ruin the flow. The flow of the album much better and less lengthy. Also, it makes the breaks in songs like Celebutante and killing time far better because they're fewer on the album with those 2 songs removed. I absolutely love the Bsides. And shreds comments on kikos playing is spot on. He uses modality so well. Flipping back and forth between minor and major. Gives him the melodic sound. Well stated Shred.
Absolutely killer thrash metal album 4/5 great review guys
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
Megadeth has somehow stayed relevant throughout the years, and has been more respected than Metallica. Extreme Metal fans welcome Megadeth, but not Metallica. What has baffled me is how does Metallica remain so popular even though hardly anyone has admitted to liking anything that the band recorded since the Black album. I am surprised that somewhere along the way Megadeth hasn't been bigger than Metallica.
For real!!
Necrotic Nick- I don't think Metallica creatively pushes themselves much anymore and they spent so much time in the 90's going more mainstream that it took them a long time to get back to being a thrash band again. They're more of a brand than a band at this point. McDonald's food isn't very good but still everyone goes there. Kinda comparable here as they're just so recognized they became more of an institution in music in general. Megadeth, aside from some misteps, remained closer to what they started as and that may have cost them even more fame but it kept them more respected by their diehard fans. That's at least my take on it.
"Megadeth fanboys trying not to mention Metallica under an unrelated video for a second" challenge will never not be impossible,I suppose
@@GhostSound2 kind of impossible not to mention Metallica when Megadeth is still kicking around. It's like the sun and moon, dark and light there can't be one without the other
@@godetonter4764
Both bands have escaped the need to be compared to each other and reconsiled a long time ago. Yet fanboys from both sides can't seem to let it go and just appreciate the music. I will never understand the need for this to happen other than inferiority complex
I would love to see them, but I'm going to see Iron Maiden on my birthday weekend!
And I enjoyed the album! Megadeth is back baby!
Necrotic Nick- I'll catch them on the next round of touring. I'm not giving FFDP any of my money. Sorry, Dave.
Thanks for the review I bought it today and it is really great
Necrotic Nick- Thanks for watching it, bro! I'm glad you dig it too.
I can't wait to pick this up. I've loved Megadeth since Peace Sells scared my ass as a kid.
Great record! Happy 4 Mustaine to put out another banger late in Megadeths career..Peace Sells/Rust In Peace still my faves!!
Necrotic Nick- This feels like a revitalized band. It's one the best they've put out in recent years for me honestly.
I'm a Megadeth fan. I love this album. I see a Grammy in Megadeth's future for this album. I give it 5......................!
It’s been 9 years since 2016??? Hmm..
Thanks for a great review. I personally think it's a great album but underimpressive. Basically, I've heard it all before on earlier Megadeth albums and back then it was new and fresh, this is just recycling of old ideas. Also I think the album is far too long when it comes to number of songs and time length in total. It could have been shorter, let's say three songs less, and that would've helped it being better. For me, it gets 3/5 because it's solid, energetic and "fun".
What a great album! For me, I give it a 10 out of 10. Thrash perfection!! It's just a step over Endgame and that makes it the best album since Countdown
Dystopia was released in 2016..only 6 years..not 9
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well.
Cheers! guys
Necrotic Nick- Cheers to you as well, bro!
Ya the albums rules I didn’t. Expect much less they rarely disappoint unless it’s a super collider experiment they always deliver the goods..
We'll be back has the same vocal patterns as Black Friday. Haven't heard the whole album yet but I'm not convinced (yet).
Necrotic Nick- I heard that as well and there's even a part on the album that sounds a lot like She Wolf as well. At least if he's recycling stuff, he's recycling good stuff.
Dogs of Chernobyl is a cool song. It almost has a AiC vibe or a riff mad season did locomotive with mark lanagan but done in a thrash way.
Necrotic Nick- I really dig that one as well. It's a bit more dark and moody overall but it has a killer thrash bite at the end.
9 years??????????
MUST HAVE MERCH!
Great review fellas.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
Out of all the big four American thrash bands, I've always found Megadeth to be the most technical but also the least catchy which is probably why I've had a hard time really getting into their music. Although I will say that Killing Is My Business and Rust In Peace are absolute bangers. Despite me not really enjoying their later material, I will check this one out being that the singles I heard seem to go back to their earlier thrash roots.
Necrotic Nick- I would say they are the most technical in terms of their songwriting but I always thought they were catchy. I actually like Dave's vocals which is generally a big complaint about the band and at least for me they do write some clever melodic hooks. I still prefer the earlier material for the most part but I still think this is a killer album for sure.
Nice review. Blessings!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
6 years since the last, not 9.
i havent heard megadeth since youthanasia. i loaded this up on the internets to check it out given the review and its actually quite good hu? fair play to mustain. the vocals have lost it i think but hes still packing those riffs.
🔥🔥🔥
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
Didnt dystopia came out in 2016? 🤔
Great Review. And yes, agree with shredlord 100%👍
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well.
Great review guys..agree with all 100%
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
Solid album Every track is incredible that’s the beauty of being a musician and a writer what they love to play that’s the beauty of it I look back on every Megadeth album everyone’s different for a reason it flows very nice the new album does very heavy technical groovy great job Megadeth
Necrotic Nick- There's a couple of weaker ones but I think the standouts are some of the strongest material in years so overall I really dug this one. This was probably the best album I've heard since Endgame honestly.
Oh, and about seeing them in concert..I have seen them around 10 times live and used to always go, but damn they have gotten so stale on their setlist. I stopped going because they play the same 10 songs for an hour set. They need to mix up the setlist and play 2 hours for me to ever go again.
Necrotic Nick- The 2 times I saw them they did play pretty much the exact same set so I'll give you that. The stage show is still a ton of fun though. I'm curious what all the mix in from this album though.
There are probably TWO guys that could replace Kiko ..
1) Jeff Loomis (auditioned for Megadeth at age 16, and then informed Marty of auditions)
2) Gus Drax (possibly even better than Loomis, Friedman, Kiko, et al .. )
You judge here ..

Necrotic Nick- I'm actually going to let Shred respond to this one because this is his area of expertise. I'll make sure to let him know about this comment.
What is into song?
I meant *intro song
Necrotic Nick- It's Shred's old band Constricted. The song is called "Third Generation"
If this were a tier list I'd put this on at B+ . A very good and consistent album. One of their best during this millennium. And it's nuts that Dave can play this AND sing. Im glad that Mustaine is still able to put together a project like this at this late date. Also, Nick, I love ya ,man, but the way you're saying Dystopia is making my ears die a little each time.
Necrotic Nick- I think this is probably my favorite since Endgame honestly. There's just an energy to it that hasn't really been present as much as it is on here in years. I think Dave's vocals sound at least better than they did on Dystopia and he did have to recover from throat cancer so I think that's definitely saying something there. Yeah, I've heard "dystopia" pronounced both ways in movies over the years so I just blurted out that one. Oh well lol.
Love this albums so much
Necrotic Nick- It was well worth the wait.
This isn’t Shredlord, this is the return of Jovial Joseph
Necrotic Nick- The man was legit giddy as fuck listening to this album lol.
The Guy on the left is right! I would compare Life in Hell to Rattlehead, one of Megadeth's fastest songs. It shows the speed and ferocity of this new album...
Necrotic Nick- Thanks! Sincerely, The Guy on the Left lol
Definitely agree it's a great record! Not 9 years since their last record though...
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I fucked up in my notes unfortunately. Oh well. This might be there best in since Endgame honestly.
there is no way people think this is better than dystopia. the songs sacrifice and junkie eliminate that alone. i like this album but dystopia is that shit though
Necrotic Nick- I prefer this one. I like both but this one has a more intense energy to it and the standout songs are some of the best stuff they've done since Endgame in my opinion. Side note: If that really is you Dave, you did a killer job on this one.
This is the best album I hear in an long time probably not since peace sells who” buying love all the songs and could top rust In Peace as their best album
Necrotic Nick- I'd say this is their best album since Endgame at least. The snarl is back but very few things are as good as the earlier material.
