''Objectively, regardless of what an album's style or sound is, the ultimate deciding factor should always be the actual songwriting.''



Yes and this is why I think RtL beats MoP. The song writing is more concise. The title track on MoP is way too fucking long for example. RtL also has why I consider their best tracks: Creeping Death and Call of Ktulu (I would probably put Orion third, though). I'm gonna touch briefly on what you wrote about those particular songs:



I highly doubt Dave Mustaine 'wrote' Call of Ktulu. His contribution to the song is probably just the riff or even just the chord progression that the song shares with Hangar 18. This alone doesn't really mean a lot as you can see by how completely different those 2 tracks are. I suspect Metallica is mostly responsible for the arrangement of the song, which is what makes it the great track that it is. Call of Ktulu really doesn't sound like a Megadeth song at all either and as I've said many times I don't think Mustaine was the most capable song writer. This is, of course, pure speculation. In the end it doesn't really matter who wrote the song anyway, it's a great track regardless of who is responsible for it.



Now, as most others have stated, I think you're going way overboard with the lyrical analysis of Creeping Death. I wouldn't say it glorifies the killing of Egyptians per se, kind of in the same way that Angel of Death doesn't glorify the holocaust. It is descriptive rather than evaluative. Creeping Death just tells a story without really passing any meaningful judgement on the acts presented in the lyrics. A select few lines could perhaps be interpreted as such but I don't think the overall undertone of the lyrics is moral, politically motivated or anything like that. The main themes of the song are death and power that is beyond human control, 2 themes that are very common in Metal, especially in its mosre extreme sub genres. I also believe that part of what made the best Metal great is that dispensed with the political, moral and personal bull shit (on an artistic level, although not necessarily regarding the respecive artists' behaviour) that pervades most other genres of music. It instead focused on larger things without spoon feeding the listener how he is supposed to feel via lyrics, instead encouraging him to take the music for what it it.
