Ok, we've all seen the Behind The Music by now and are probably all fed up with Dave Mustaine and crew. What the hell was he thinking the past two albums? Can you say sellout? Well, folks, Megadeth has returned...with a good album! A damn good album in fact. You know, one that rocks. Ok, so it's not PEACE SELLS, but hey, who (besides Motorhead and AC/DC), constantly puts out quality stuff? Enough about the past, let's talk about Deth's latest, shall we? 12 tracks fill up their latest, and in all honesty, there's no filler here. All worthwhile cuts, from the mid tempo Randy Rhoads/ Ozzy shuffle of "Disconnect" to the blazing chugga chugga riffings of "Moto Psycho" to the string arranged "Promises", these cuts snarl with Dave-esque sneer and show off new guitarist Al Pitrelli's stellar chops ("Dread And The Fugitive Mind"), something which the last of the Capitol albums severely lacked. And yes, it can be said that Megadeth is still in the shadow of Metallica, but at least now they hone up to it, and even mock it a bit in song ("When") and in concept ("Return To Hangar 18"). Thankfully, Dave is not only clean and sober, but he's located his testicles and it's so nice to have him back in a way that he won't be laughed at. Maybe Dave's days as a hero are long gone, but at least he can hold his head up high and be proud of the work he's done ("Recipe For Hate...Warhorse").
