Hit Or Miss? New Megadeth

Seinfeld26 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2005 6:58 pm

Since opinions of Megadeth are probably the most divided of any metal band amongst fans, I thought I'd post this poll.

Note: I'm voting "Hit"

I liked it. It had the same spirit as the pre-CTE albums. It's not as good as those, but it did have the same energy, as if he had a chip on his shoulder again. Chris Polands work on it was excellent. His Jazz days haven't hurt him at all. I hope he doesn't pull the Deth name out again though. Without Junior it's not really Megadeth anymore. "Something That You Are" was classic. A definete jab at Lar$.

Is it underground black metal? No? Miss :twisted:

Neither. It had some good songs and some bad ones.

Miss. I now hate the record and regret buying it.

A direct hit, excellent album also some of the songs are very progressive as the 2nd half of a song sounds very different from the 1st.

I liked it. Not as impressive as past albums, but it was still a very good album. .....I think I will listen to it actually.

Megadeth is quite forgetable by now.

Back in The Day and Truth be Told are such an amazing songs. Kick The Chair is better than Hangar 18.

I don't know about kick the chair being better, but it is a very good song. The first three songs are very good. The rest are good, but not worthy of making a top Megadeth album.

pre concert: 7/10
post concert:9/10
hearing songs from tshf live showed me just how fucking good they are, back in the day was soooo good live

-Blackmail the Universe: a good riff that goes on forever with some annoying samples. Mustaine's career-worst vocal performance.

-Die Dead Enough: A but poppy, but enjoyable enough.

-Kick the Chair: As close to RIP as you're going to get. Good song.

-The Scorpion: Quite good in a quirky sort of way. More sampling homosexuality drag down the end of it.

-Tears In a Vial: No thanks.

-I Know Jack: Whatever...

-Back In The Day: Probably the best thing on here, pity the second half doesn't live up to the first. Still good.

-Something That I'm Not: I'm all for a bit of Lar$ bashing, if only the song was a bit better. Its ok.

-Truth Be Told: Dislike.

-Of Mice And Men: Good apart from the ultra-irritating chorus.

-Shadow Of Deth: See 'I Know Jack'

-My Kingdom: I...can't remember how this one goes.

Hmmm, seems I like this album less than I thought I did.
