SPREAD THE METAL LIKE A PLAGUE! - เพลง
What? No one’s giggling so far at the Ellefson jokes? Haha!
I mean a guy getting his life ruined because of leaked videos isn't exactly funny.
@@Fireglo it's pretty funny
Playing the skin flute.
@@TheKillingGame01 to the beat of "Holy drawers"... " pee sells but who's buying" .. "coming is my business and business is....not good"
Yeah that part was shitty. Hopefully he gets justice, maybe Mustaine will wake up and hire him back… jokes were still funny though.
We know Dave Mustaine is no spring chicken. At 60, hes "died" twice, overcame addictions, had to have multiple surgeries and relearn guitar. Most recently he has battled cancer and won. From his early days with Panic and Metallica, death has haunted him.
Being spiteful and full of rage, he created Megadeth. Their first album was a seething, ferocious scorched earth sonic assault. From then on, Dave would ensure Megadeth would always move forward and leave his foot print in the music world.
And here we are at his 16th album, almost 40 years after the inception of Megadeth. Is it a Rust in peace? A peace sells? A countdown? Youthanasia?
No. But its a perfect The Sick, the Dying and the Dead. Dave can never recapture the magic of his iconic and monumental albums. He simply isnt that person anymore. Hes grown. Hes older. Hes changed. The world has changed and the metal music scene has changed as well.
I thoroughly enjoy this album from beginning to end. Yes, a song or two may be a bit simplistic or not as catchy as others. But the riffs punch you in the gut. The drums thunder in your chest. The bass rattles your head and the solos tickle your ears with ease. Dave has come back with a vengeance and sounds stronger then ever. The cheeky and sly humor of the lyrics remind us that Dave is still cynical Dave, not afraid to throw a little cheese at us. "Hello, me...its the real me" or how about "Whoever thought you'd be better, At turning a screw than me. I do it for my life. Made my drive shaft crank. Made my pistons bulge. Made my ball bearing melt from the heat" Typical Mustaine cheese and here for more of it.
For me, the title track is my favorite. As a metal guitarist of 20 years, this song sounds so fun, groovy and full of life and swing. I look forward to learning this song.
This album grows the more you play it. Im on my 13th spin now, as I got my album yesterday. My personal view is that its the most alive, fun filled, heavy album Dave has made in the last 20 years. It slightly edges out Endgame and is definitely the organic evolution of Dystopia.The addition of Dirk behind the kit gives this album the swagger it needed. It's moving into my personal top 3 favorite Megadeth albums. But its still new. We will see how time treats this album.
Is it Rust? No. But it doesnt need to be. Its a Megadeth album in 2022. And that is something I can appreciate.
Amazing comment and I completely agree man. Like you said, it isn't RIP but it doesn't need to be. It's its own thing and that's okay. I absolutely love it!
Damn, well put!
You could’ve just said it sucked and it would’ve been fewer words
👏
@Jonathan Williams I wish I could forget everything about Megadeth in general
I really liked the new album! My favourite so far is actually Soldier On! But I also really like We'll be back. I've been a fan of Megadeth for a few years, around the time when Dystopia released but I remember the first song I heard was Good Mourning/Black Friday, and later Right to go insane. Megadeth basically dominates my playlists because I really enjoy the band, and I was excited for this album for a long time and I feel like it was honestly most definitely worth the wait! 🤘💀
Same got into em around that time and my favorite song on that one is bullet to the brain. This album was something I looked forward to and I love it
I’m a big fan of Mission to Mars, it has a fragment of Dave’s sense of humor in it when he opens a window on his starship to say hi to the sisters of Pleiades
Yep!💥
Hello ladies hello moon man
Definitely Megadeth’s best work in a long time. With the current state of the world I think people are ready for angrier music and this album delivers.
yes sir, the best since Rust in peace
@@mortenjrgensen9138 endgame was a masterpiece
I love the rust in peace reference in mission to mars
Written by a 7 year old
That song was the weakest of the album.
The writing was eh
@@AMC401 I agree
@Jonathan Williams cool
Hello ladies!
I personally for one love this album right now! I find it to be just a bunch of fun songs that I'd definitely have a couple drinks if they started playing. But as for the composition and all that jazz, I don't think it lacks there either. I mean listen to Kiko's solos and tell me not every single one of those were well composed, the riffs are some of them more fresh and some of them very old school a perfect mix of both.
What I feel about this album is over the years Dave has experimented so much with music and landed on all kinds of weird spots (I for one don't mind the lesser albums but I recognize that they are not near Peace Sells for example) and finally they've landed on something that sounds like MEGA FUCKING DETH!
Amen brother! The more I keep listening to this new one I like it more and more! I enjoyed Dystopia but not this much. This is the best since Endgame!!
The music is good, the lyrics, however, are quite bad.
I have heard the new album from start to finish- and just like many other new albums from 80’s metal bands, it will prob be the only time I ever listen to it from start to finish. Nothing ever compares to the old stuff, which makes it absolutely average at best
Same, heard it once all the way through, prolly never listen to it again ( no hate...just not feeling it)
Most 80 90or2000 Metal bands
I’m actually not really sold on this album. There are some that I like, but I’m actually disappointed.
5:34 same man. That's why I love enter the arena. Nothing else but pure here we go... CRUSH, CRUSH EM. And then when Crush em sets in you get dave grunting and rapping and shit. Funniest megadeth song along side censored these boots are made for walking.
In my opinion, Masterpiece
I don't know? In a complete opposite of what I usually do, I decided to listen to one song, and I'll let myself be surprised by the rest.
I loled at you saying, "Yesterday in fact."
My fav thrash metal band of all time. For me this is their best since Youthanasia! Thanks Killbot 🤘
Whats up Killbot 😃!!!!!!. I cant wait to listen to this album I wonder what its going to sound like I hope I love it.
Never did I expect this to happen
I just got a shirt of this to
Didn't find this new album to have the same level of cohesiveness and catchiness in the songwriting department as Dystopia
I honestly think the new album is pretty bland tbh... Mission to mars wtf are those lyrics jeez...
Same here dude, I also think that Dystopia had better songwriting and more memorable riffs, I kinda find it heavier than the latest effort but regardless, I love the new album
@@RaOThRaSh You must be new to Megadeth.
@@darkriff777 hahaha ffs , this megadeth fans are something else. Dude I´ve been listening to megadeth like from early 2000 , 98, 99 aprox
@@RaOThRaSh You and a few other commenters sound like you're new. Dave has been writing aggressive to cheesy lyrics for a long time. The only time Megadeth has been bland was when Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover were in the band. There's some pretty solid guitar and drum work here, but seems people are hung up on Dave's vocals/lyrics. It's quite laughable actually.
Mustaine probably just had Ellefson's bass tracks re-recorded so he wouldn't have to pay him for being on the album.
Megadeths best work since Youthanasia. I'm totally hooked on it 🤘🔥
I haven’t brought any Megadeth Albums or the new one yet lol but I’ll try get Peace Sells but who’s buying album on vinyl and cd. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nothing to see here, just playing the bass
Ellefson, is that you?
My copy is on the way from CD Universe and I’m looking forward to it. Dave Ellefson getting the boot saddened me but again I’m ready for this new one.
This one is my favorite in a long time. For me it blows dystopia out of the water
Nope
I remember being half asleep in my car when "We'll be back" came on Liquid Metal. Woke me up,yea. I haven't kept up with Megadeth in years,but it did sadden me what happened with Ellefson. Back in my bass days I idolized him and Rex.
Those “dots” are called ellipses. Also, good review. It’s annoying to hear all the nerds try to put Dave down like any of us don’t wish we had his talent on his worst of days dot dot dot
That’s correct
Worth it man.. This might be one of the best albums they've ever made! I love this album.
The best album he's ever put out. Ppl can cry like little bitches all they want, this album is 🔥
@Jonathan Williams Don't you mean Walkman?
Let's not get crazy here. It's a decent album, especially considering Dave's age, but it's not even close to being the best.
The music is pretty good for the most part. It sounds like Kiko wrote quite a bit of the music, but it also sounds like a lot of the music was copied and pasted, editing parts together moreso than on previous albums. It also sounds like mastering issues on songs like Mission To Mars at 1:47 when the volume drops. This would have been a great instrumental album. Dave just seems burned out on this one.
Let's be honest, Megadeth's discography is better than Metallica's.
I’ll take Rust and Peace Sells over fucking Puppets anytime. Fight me, anyone, please.
Some lyrics are really odd, some songs are forgettable, but honestly I really enjoyed many parts of this album.
Not as good as dystopia but it's really great I think.
Personally sick the dying and the dead is my favorite song, soldier on, we'll be back and sacrifice coming in right behind them.
Considering everything with Ellifson, throat cancer, etc it's surprising how great it came out.
Better than Dystopia, and that one was great.
@@SimenSebastian yeah honestly you're right
I fuckin LOVE this album so far, it's badass. It's gotten mixed reviews so far, but I love what they've done so far
My review honestly its the best Megadeth's sounded since Rust In Peace tho it's not as good as Rust In Peace but still good none the less
It's like combining SFSGSW with, idk, cryptic writings
Musically it's great. Lyrically and vocally, it ruins it for me. It feels fairly cringey with first person look into soldiers "kicking people's teeth". Though the title track is decent, the rest just feel like it's hard to relate to.
Awwww. Too violent and manly for ya? Guess they need to make Vic wear skinny jeans, a handbag, and a man bun and then we’ll be cooking!
@@dewinter1411 nah, I'm okay with violent stuff. Over the years of being a Megadeth fan, I've noticed a trend that Dave is moving towards generic "I'm a badass" type stuff and it misses the mark for me. You can see the trend really pick up in United Abominations. The new album ain't bad, but it's just a little cringe. Vocally Dave had dropped off though. I know he beat cancer, but after seeing them live a couple times you have to admit he's struggling with dynamics. Even in this album, you can see him struggle with parts.
@@dewinter1411 well aren't you an edgy little boy
Very little filler mostly good metal. 8/10 for me.
For me the album is decent but not great. There's some tracks on it that I cannot get into no matter how many times I listen to them, like Sacrifice and Dogs of Chernobyl for example. Celebutante is honestly my favorite track on the whole album. That song has that old school thrash speed, and Kiko almost sounds like Marty on the outro guitar solo.
Thank you Dave is still top of food chain But he's about done MEGADETH
No groove
The title track is amazing
Listened to the new one, then went back to dystopia to compare the two. Imo, dystopia was better all around but the new album is solid.
Or......is Megadeths new album the sick the dying and the dead a bite off MY BANDS NAME, get this.......SICK DYING DEAD!!! Yeah believe it!!! Dave seen our band name somewhere I'm convinced!!! We're pissed!!! I'll let ya hear our self titled song...Sick Dying Dead!! Ps there's nothing better than ....PEACE SELLS BUT WHOS BUYING and RUST IN PEACE!! those 2 can't be touched!!!
it was really nice to see a song about the night stalkers since my dad was with them
Finally listened to it. Celebutante', Killing Time, Soldier On, Police Truck, and Life in Hell are great. I was a bit unsure about Mission to Mars, but I ended up liking it. Didn't really care much for Sacrifice and Junkie.
It was all filler. We’ll Be Back rips off Black Friday, and Mustaine has the balls to say Ellefson “poached” Kingmaker by adding a little bass ditty at the beginning. The beginning of the song that rips off Children of the Grave like there’s no tomorrow. Children of the Dave! Pathetic! Ellefson is better off. No looming shadow of hypocritical ass Mustaine
I was a bit dissapointed, of course the Album had great songs, but i only liked 3 songs. I do prefer the previous album as I liked a lot more songs, this is of course subjective. If people liked the Album, I am happy for them
Awesome album.
I don't mind Ice-T, but wish Jello Biafra could have been in on 'Police Truck', maybe next time on 'Too Drunk to Fuck'.
Here we go as far as MEGADETH. GOOD not great compared to current Metal. KILLER
Instrumentally, I like this album. But I HATE dave’s vocals. It ruins the songs for me
I love this album. After I listened to the first two teasers, I decided: I had to get this on vinyl as fast as possible. So I rushed to my dad, and told him to pre order it. And he did. I really love the song the sick, the dying... and the dead. Night stalkers and Soldier on! are also on the top songs on this album. I don't regret, paying 38 bucks for this LP
The lyrics are God awful on this. Definitely phoned it in imo. Best elements of the record are the guitar solos, especially Kiko's.
Celebutante and mission to mars are surprise faves!
Dystopia was really a great album, The sick the Dying is under my expectations.
I really hear a lot of Countdown in this album. I really enjoyed the album a lot best since Endgame
The track Junkie starts like a Def Leppard track and Celebutante sounds like Stand up and Shout by Dio !
Been listening to Megadeth all week
I literally thought the same about the monty python bit but i checked, its not the actual sound clip
Ah ok
I dig the new album but I thought the sammy hager cover was goofy af
I think the new album was ok. I liked the theme of soldiers and war and whatnot. Still big fan of the band!
I was still on a 5 year Swedish Death Metal and Black Metal binge when The Sick The Dying... and The Dead was released. I didn't hear any of it until earlier this week, but I was pleasantly surprised when I finally did. I have been a Megadeth fan since the first album came out in 1985. There have been a few albums over the years that I didn't know what to make of when they were released. They've never done anything that I outright hated. They've always been the most consistent of the Big Four thrash bands. Even though they moved away from that sound a few times to try something new. Unike most of the outpputof certain inferior band that Dave was once a part of it. It doesn't feel cobbled together or forced.This one had me after 30 seconds. I will reserve judgment about where I would rank it in a best to worst list until I hear it for a while. I will say that I think it stands up to any of the latter day albums.
Swedish death metal, amazing stuff
Musically, Killer. Vocally/Lyrically…pretty cringe at times. Sometimes Dave’s voice pulls it off, but just barely. Respectable after surviving cancer, but it really makes the songs forgettable. He should let his son Justin take over vocals. Riffwise…as strong as any of their classics.
if megadeth hires a new vocalist, it would immediately alienate over half the fanbase who are already used to or enjoy daves voice even in his old age. The world doesn't revolve around your emotions and opinions.
It's good but not great. Hard to beat Rust in Peace and Peace Sales.
It's NOT MAGADETH . Dude Dave would def have something to say about that......
No one said it was
The songs are amazing. Its like another “so far so good so what!”
I was personally very disappointed with it.
You are not alone bro new album suck
I went to BnN twice this month and they were all sold out. 😣
New album megadeth album suck
MEGADETH RULES
It was a good listen. I'm more of a fan of Dave's former band than of Megadeth (hmmmm... I wonder who THAT could be? 🤔), but I liked the album at first listen. It'll probably grow on me.
He was in Iron Sabnath right?
Tampora?
Slayer? Anthrax?
"after... ehhh... a video got leaked" Hahaha so true! I wouldn't mind it so much if he had just embraced his rock star persona man! I mean that is what decadent rock stars do right? Sleep with their fans... Maybe not over social media. You get my drift! I mean if we look at the track record of the greats like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and so on, they're not going to say no to a horny teenager right?! But Dave Jr shows off as a redeemed rock star; someone who has found god and stopped taking drugs and is now living a pristine priestly life-style! His entire book "My Life With Deth" reeks of his self-righteousness... Such a move from THAT guy is disgusting! If he was sincere and just admitted to being a rock star, living the perverted and debaucherous lifestyle they are known for, I would have just laughed. One of the Devil's Children doing the Devil's business ya know!
I think the problem was that people were accusing him of grooming the girl he did that with. If I remember right, she was an OnlyFans girl and someone she knew leaked the video
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack Grooming is such a stupid word. You mean seducing right? Wanting to fuck that sweet thing, right? If he was twenty years younger you wouldn't call it "grooming". What did Motley Crue do after the concerts? It is all so ridiculously stupid it boggles my mind. The girl wasn't "groomed" ... that implies she doesn't have a mind of her own. She wanted some of that star attraction.
It's kick ass! Long live Megadeth!
So far my favourite album of the year
Cool video bro.not a huge Megadeth fan but I like the new stuff I heard..I'm seeing gwar in Seattle in a few weeks..boo yah!
having the opening track be shit is never a good sign tbh
Countdown to orgasm had me dead. ☠️
It's not a sample, only the same line.
There’s another bonus track, The Conjuring live. It’s misprinted on the Target exclusive and written as Dystopia live and it’s also on the We’ll Be Back single
Greetings from Russia. I have currently studying of English language. Handsome of face sexy man with pretty hair of woman! Why have you make laugh of the Megadeth?
Thanks for sharing! Love MEGADETH! Like all but 4 songs on album! Deep space is fake Dave! No mission to Mars! God bless you buddy!
Night Stalkers is all about 160th Special Forces in the US ARMY!
Its very Megadeth!!, instantly recognizable, great hooks and heaps of energy...being old and of simple tastes I'll always say Peace Sells was my fav but I do actually really like this! I had no idea about the Sammy Hagar cover, it reminded me of old Pantera 'Ride my Rocket' or something, pretty funny.
I need more time to place it but I rank it above The System Has Failed. I hate what happened with Dave Ellefson because he is awesome. I still dig this album for Mustaine being 60 years old. This rocked.
Awesome Autopsy shirt! Wish I had one.
Check their website!
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack They're sold out. 😭
Gets worse with each listen
Just got the Target exclusive album, only to see this in my subscriptions list. Kick ass album and kick ass review.
Liked the album, altho for a first impression, it seemed abit tame lyrically for a megadeth album. Maybe there was something I missed on first listen. But I'd hoped for an uncompromising pure unfiltered rant somewhere. Like the start of the song United Abominations. I love a good mix of both insane and serious Megadeth. To me that's part of their appeal which makes 'em my favourite Thrash Metal band. Well, they're number 2 behind Overkill, but it's a close number 2.
Junkie is the worst.
It's not what I specting after listening 🎧. will be back.But it still pretty good.
I dig it. Great record
Very stong album. Not as consistent as Dystopia but for a band this deep into their career....Dave can still put out some brilliant material.
Love the poster behind u Whats the name of it
Bolt Thrower “honour valour pride”
What's Your Favorite Song Off Of The Album ?
Celebutante!
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack That is an amazing song I 💯 agree with you.
I love the autopsy shirt! People forget about that band!
One of my favorite bands!! Was gonna fly to Chicago to see them in October, then the Misfits announced a show the same night… will have to catch them next time.
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack they have a new album coming out! I’m so excited for it!
dystopia was overlooked by many....too bad...it is flippin brutally good
I love Megadeth, RIP is my favorite,Dystopia was another great album,but my honest opinion is....no I don't enjoy the new album and to me it sounds the same, nothing new or exciting, it's my taste and my taste doesn't concern what you think. Cheers 🖕
I support this statement 💯
Does any1 hear the tornado of souls solo at the end of the title track. It's unmistakable
Is it worth listening to instead of buying cause music has no value nowadays 😂
It was a bit rich but ok. The solos is the only thing that made me like the album but riffs not something new except the thrashing ones or technical those makes them thrashy as hell but I loved it dont forget the police truck cover that one blew me away.
Yes
The Sick, The Dying and The Dead is one of Megadeth's best albums to date imo.. I think it is worth a listen.
the thing is, even if you would have said its the best album ever made, i sadly dont think its worth to go out of my way to listen to new releases by not only Megadeth, but a lot of older bands...
well that's a weird stance
@@Vestu is it tho, hit me with som oldschool band with good modern releases
@@madsbdker5579 like…. Megadeth?
@@bvionis nope, their new stuff is bad
