Some of the video art resembles that of the new Dream Theater cover.

"For some odd reason, I can't stop listening to this song."

That is odd, because song is not very good


2/5

This song has been up on their Vevo YT page since Thanksgiving. Solid tune, album has the makings to be their best since Endgame.

This is just so predictable. Input random solo here, input random solo there. This is the epitome of Megadeth in 2015.

rhythm guitar is way too low in the mix during the solos and non-chugging sections, and Dave's voice seems to have taken a steep dive in recent years. He sounded fine on Endgame but sounds old and tired here--what happened?

Vocals are fine, in fact Mustaine actually sings for a change.

Song hints at Countdown to Extinction/Cryptic Writings, which is great.

Even though Rust in Peace is the #1 ranked metal album of all time on this site, this band still somehow get shit on when they release a solid song.

Bits of this video remind me of the animation style Metalocalypse uses. Curious if it's the same guy(s).

Song is decent. It's better than his recent string of releases, but that doesn't say much.

That's cute. You legitimately are oblivious.

Yes, you are.

Your reply doesn't even make grammatical sense. That fact also aligns with your original first post reading poorly and your second post being pretty strange.

Speaking as someone who was pretty bummed out by Super Collider...this is pretty kickass. All the guys saying this sucks? I'm a true Megadeth fan, alright? Even counting Super Collider & Risk, they've never put out any shitfest on the level of Lulu or Illud Divinum Insanus. Going by this and the lead-off, this is looking like it's gonna be at least in between The System Has Failed & Cryptic Writings for me as far as quality goes. I actually liked that last one, just so you know.

And hey, if Dystopia ends up kinda lacking, it's still gonna be a hell of a lot better than 5FDP's last piece of work.

I don't know what they were thinking with this video. It's like someone in the band has a kid that is learning flash and wanted to show it off.
Song is pretty okay though, if the rest of the album is like this it will be a very mediocre Megadeth album, far from the worst

"wow this is easily the worse fucking song i have ever heard in my life"

Hahaha, I just love the objectivity of this site!!
Musically, I think the song is not bad, pretty good actually and better than most of the last 2 albums, but dayum Mustaine sounds bad on these new songs.

Seriously, what's up with the vocals? They sound majorly overproduced, with some weird vocal effect or something :/

Btw, article title is misleading. This isn't a new song (been out for weeks), it's just a new video.

@piroga84

This community is so jaded sometimes. You start to forget that everyone here is connected by a love of music.

I am a product of my environment here. Your right! I shouldn't be calling people names, but that's what you get here and thus I've started participating. Nobody wants to have legitimate conversations about music anymore. People just want to say things are shit or personally attack people.

Endgame was thrashy but every song sounded the same, and some of those lyrics really made me cringe. I don't think it's bad, it's good, especially considering some of their more recent output...but it's not the best album they've ever made like some people swear up and down.

I like United Abominations better.
