OK performance. Finally some energetic drums, but Mustaine's voice is dead.
We talking live or in studio? I would advocate for Marty Friedman personally, but that's just off of Rust In Peace. The rest of the stuff he did with the band kinda wavers guitar-wise. Kiko is very, very strong though, so yeah, I remain hopeful.As long as Kiko is in the band I think they will be doing alright. He is by far their best guitarist in the band's history.

Not so with Anthrax. Their last two albums have both been excellent and as good as their classic material. Slayer left their creativity in the mid-80s and when Metallica bother to release anything they have flashes of interesting music amongst the tedium. I feel that Megadeth suffer from excessive output though. It's great that Dave Mustaine is still motivated to make new music every 3 years but if he took his time and released half the number of albums since 'The System Has Failed' then there would be three albums of great music. Instead he gets in the studio, makes whatever he can and releases half-baked albums.I'm expecting something really safe. The Big 4 are all done creatively.
I agree with this, however Dystopia is a massive outlier..
