Megadeth - United Abominations

Good news, it's awesome.

I've been a fan of megadeth although I honestly never heard much of their newer stuff (I hear it sucks), but I heard the new album and it's really sick. Nothing to be worried about if you were curious

i heard a couple of their tracks from their myspace page. sleepwalker cought my attention.

i have a lot of their older angrier cd's and they rock, and to be fair, they are amazing live. one of the best acts. but the albums have been getting weaker and weaker with time. hope this one puts them back on the map as it'll likely be their last.

their last album wasn't bad actually (The System has Failed). They seemed to have turned around a i guess. will have to check this one out.

Cool, I enjoy Megadeth - haven't listened in a while though, I'll keep an eye out for this one

I thought The System Has Failed was quite alright. Nothing earth-shattering refreshing, but as far as megadeth albums go, certainly not their worst.
I'll check out the new one later. Haven't listened to Megadeth in a while, and i'm actually quite looking forward to it.

I'm a huge fan. I got to meet Dave back in Oct. at Gigantour, and pre-ordered the album. The new songs sound great, and I've been rocking out to them every morning at work. Sleepwalker is my favorite so far. Can't wait to play along to it.

The World Needs a Hero was a nice change of pace, but grew old quickly. The System Has Failed was a better album. Lots of great songs on it, some even better live. I still enjoy it.

United Abominations appears to continue in the right direction. Even includes a duet with Cristina Scabbia...*purrs* Video on the official site.

MegaDave is the man! \m/ Mustaine for President 2008!!!

Mustaine was an awesome guitarist. I gotta give it a listen. I'll get back to ya.

It's out today!

FYE hadn't placed it on the shelf when I went on my lunch to pick it up. It was in a box in the back with a sign that said "DO NOT TOUCH". I told the cashier to get back there and touch it.

The album rocks. It's very political and hints at old school megadeth. Mustaine IS an awesome guitarist. I'll be spinning this for a while.

MoP

Hahahah, very political?
[edit: to clarify, I mean Dave Mustaine trying to be political is like using a bazooka to kill a mouse]

Man, I really wanted to like this album.

Well, I say that... I kinda do like it. It's definitely better than System Has Failed.

I know I'd like it a lot more if I didn't speak english. I know Dave's not the best when it comes to lyrics, but damn, this stuff really is dire. I could crap out lyrics like these in half an hour, they just feel cheap, forced and lame.

That said, the songs themselves are very rockin', the guitar solos are awesome, and it's overall quite catchy and enjoyable. If I turn off my brain and just listen to the rhythms and tunes, it's great... but as soon as I pay even the slightest bit of attention to the lyrics, I just want to bash my head against a wall, they're really that bad.

Ah well. I think I'll just go back to listening to Rust In Peace

but music wise...
