Megadeth

Gave the whole album a quick listen right now. I mean... yeah. IMO it's quite consistent yet lacks ambition. And that's Ok: by now Mustaine has nothing else to prove. No doubt it would be really cool if the band's last chapter was a banger. Yet this plays save as save can be when it comes to composition and balancing heavier parts with more accessible ones within each song. Overall this is a record composed of short tunes and the structures are really simple. Yet, unlike its predecessor, there's not a single "yuck!" moment - like Celebutant or Junkie. But, on the other hand, there's also nothing that IMO comes even close to tracks like The Sick, The Dying And The Dead, Life In Hell, We'll Be Back or Dogs Of Chernobyl. It seems to be a fun album, little more than that. One I guess I'll only give a couple of spins before shelving it.

Is out? Tomorrow ill listen it. But the 3 songs reminds me 90s album but a bad copy of the sound. But its the last mustaine work
 
Listening to it at the moment. A bit slower than other albums a few vibes from old 90s megadeth and a few to from the last albums. Not one of their best for sure not one of their worst.

And i still think that and album with metallica and mustaine with 3 guitar players is what the world would love to see. Under other name but one last album togheter.

Megadeth probably should have hired a singer 15 years ago. His voice was worsening and sounds worse than ever before in the new album, especially in the Puppet Parade track.

True. Also he had cancer. I just read a review and they give a 10/10. Its not even close to 7/10.

Yeah lucky that both him and Bruce were able to overcome it.

Regarding the voice, I think this is where the producer comes in. The chorus of Puppet Parade sounds horrible and maybe backing vocals or adding some other elements could have helped. Loved the riff though
