Yup. Not sure why everyone loves endgame or united abominations tbh.

This is one of the best megadeth albums

eh, I like United Abominations, Endgame, Dystopia and Sick and Dying. Those just all have a way different feel from this and their 80s output.

Always loved The Scorpion on this one. I don't even remember the rest of the record.

First four songs up to 'The Scorpion' are all really good actually, especially 'Kick the Chair'. Even 'Tears in a Vial' is ok.



So the best 'Side A' of any Megadeth album since 'Youthanasia', and goes a long way to making this their best album after 'Youthanasia' overall imo.

something i've noticed when going through the megadeth discog is that dave loves to put his best songs first lol. usually a good closer or two as well. middle almost always is the worst material.

die dead enough is great, love that hook. dave sounds weird on this one to me which kind of holds it back.

This was the first Megadeth album I ever listened to and I recall Of Mice and Men and Kick the Chair in particular being on repeat for days. Proper nostalgia!
