Yeah, I think I'm certainly an outlier with my opinion on this one. IDK - the whole album just clicks with me.

Listened through the whole discography again. Here's my updated rankings! 01. Images & Words (+A Change of Seasons) - 10.0 02. Train of Thought - 9.5 03. Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory - 9.4 04. Dream Theater - 9.0 05. A Dramatic Turn of Events - 8.5 06. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence...

I actually love most of the early stuff, I just think SFSGSW is very sloppy and the songs aren’t great.

I think SFSGSW is probably the worst Megadeth album released prior to the 2010s.

Hoping for some more support for Rust In Peace. It’s an absolutely striking, iconic cover. I think Leviathan is cool, but in a much more passive way.

My guess is it fires up right around the time Trump needs to start declaring war to secure a third term. Just a hunch.

I’m hoping they actually have some reasonably priced seats in the general on sale (nothing like milking the hardcore fans in the presale). If not, guess I’m waiting til the week of for those ticket deals.

Exactly this. If Palestine has not been officially recognised or completely absorbed by Israel, this “peace deal” is only a ceasefire. It might last a decade, or a century, but there is no peace.

Cheapest ticket in Chicago is $291 for the worst seats in the house. Hard pass.
