Megadeth

Fair enough. It does feel a bit like this:

The music video just reinforces this :facepalm:

 
To me "I Don't Care" just harkens back to say like early -mid 90's Deth. That straight forward approach is what worked for Megadeth back then - Say exactly what you want to say within say-like three or four minutes - with a harder impact as a result!

The material on the last couple of albums have been too fastidious, too samey, the solos too indulgent and extended parts too long. To hell with the polished 'Deth this is much more like say Sweating Bullets, Angry Again, 99 Ways To Die, Countdown/Youthanasia Deth!!
 
Wasn't as shit as I was expecting, no real edge to the delivery of the vocals, they're like an OAP doing an impression of what Overkill would have came out with 35 years ago, but overall harmless enough i.e. it hasn't put me in mind of ignoring the album when it comes out. Does he say something about MAGA in there?
 
I’m with those who think this second single is on the right path. Yeah, the lyrics are stupid, but I prefer this style of Megadeth over the stalled, many-years-stuck approach. Listening to this song, I was reminded of So Far, So Good… So What! Of course, the new single is more on the sterile side, and Dave is trying to be young again without the high-octane energy outbursts—because he is kind of old now. Nonetheless, to me this second song is on the fun side, which is welcome.
Also, I relistened to the first single — now the song felt better to me. And I definitely agree that Dave is trying to go back in time, at least with the two released singles.

I don’t know if those posted lyrics are completely correct.

[Verse 1]
I don't care if I'm out of line
I don't care 'cause this life is mine
I don't care, you don't like what I say
I don't care and I won't obey
I don't care if you're getting high
I don't care when the truth is a lie
I don't care when the rope gets tight
I don't care if you live or die
I don't care what the headline said (i mishheard "Hitler said")
I don't care if all hope is dead
I don't care if I'm not your class
I don't care, you can kiss my ass

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat (i misheard "Megadeth in me")
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

[Post-Chorus]
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know


[Verse 2]
I don't care if you're standing tall
I don't care if you take the fall
I don't care who you try to blame
I don't care, I don't play that game
I don't care if you're wrong or right
I don't care if you came to fight
I don't care if you call my bluff
I don't care, enough is enough

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

Endgame? Like that one. Like that whole album, actually. About on par with the 80s/early-90s classics for me.

The album is fine, like most of the post-TSHF, it's something I can enjoy when I listen to it but not really remember a lot about afterwards. But I was having a go specifically about the deranged lyrics of imagining a fantasy scenario where Americans are getting sent to "the camps", I mean there's a lot of leeway and allowances I usually give Mustaine's lyrics because we all know he's a madman, but "the camps" is a loaded term, you'ld be totally out of order using it to even describe what Trump is doing now, nevermind back then.

I feel quite similar. I think post TSHF the lyrics are quite something indeed. Some better than others. The riffs are great but some of the lyrics are proper offputting

I like the 2004 album i think is the world needs a hero for me that sounded a bit like 90s. After that the sound was changing for something more compact. But the last album sounded a bit back to the roots but less speed

The system has failed i think is the one is good then they havr the worlds need a hero and united abobinations and then supercollider and the rest of ghr albums with compresed sound but that one has 90s vibes
