Megadeth

[XianL]

I don't skip songs on albums. Ever. Can't think of a single instance I've done that in the last 6 years.

Must be something I picked up from listening to Scenes so much, same here Ultihetalmead.



First time I've heard of this new album though. New DT on the 13th, Mastodon on the 27th, Iced Earth on October the 18th, and now Megadeth on the 1rst of November? Good freaking time to have my music taste

[Jirpo]

I never skip songs either.

[obscure]

I can't see any songs to skip in any albums 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Just gave RIP a listen. Easily the best Megadeth album.

Now, I'm listening to Peace Sells.

[Dark Castle]

If I'm listening  to an album and there's a song that I really want to hear I usually skip to it and then go back to whichever song I was on heh.

[Cruithne]

Studio version of Public Enemy No. 1.

If the rest of the album is up to this standard then I'll be very happy. There's melody in the vocals again! \o/

[Zydar]

Sounds good!

QFT. And Peace Sells is 2nd best.

and again the front cover is a person with their back turned presumably walking away with an ugly border

[LCArenas]

Fuck you all, Megadeths Almost Honest is an amazing song

[Mave]

Never Dead in full...

[Plasmastrike]

Fuck yeah

Whenever a new Megadeth album comes out, I look forward to learning so much fun music on guitar.

[Phoenix87x]

Megadeth owns.

Damn Strait they do. I bow down for Rust in Peace. 

[Progmetty]

The first minute or two of Never Dead was really promising and reminded me of creative Mustiane but then it turns into a song that I'm pretty sure existed numerous times along the last couple albums.

This is the biggest problem the band, or I guess Mustaine at this point, faces. I feel this way about the majority of their new content. Public Enemy No. 1 at least sounds pretty good, and holy cannoli how it blows the new Metallica stuff out of the water.

[Kotowboy]

Well the new Metalica isn't really a new Metallica album, it's Lou Reed with improvised music.

Although I really hope Metallica bring those sonics to their next proper album.

E 440 doesn't do James' voice any favours. And Garage Inc quality production please

[Kotowboy]

Apparently - if you get feedback in your in-ears - you can go deaf instantly. Not good.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Is it me, or is the remastered version of RIP terrible?

[Kotowboy]

Did they just brickwall it ? 

[Ultimetalhead]

Did they just brickwall it ? 

Nope. Instrumentally, it sounds like a dream. The problem is, Mustaine lost the original vocal tracks to a lot of the songs, so he had to redo them, and they sound awful compared to the original versions (the gang vocals in particular are just atrocious).

[Progmetty]

Bull shit with cheese, the re-recorded vocals on 5 Magics are much better than the original.

Rust in Peace was my first Megadeth album and believe it or not I bought be because I thought the cover looked cool.  I was totally taking a chance, because I had not heard one note of Megadeth up to that point. 

The album blew my fucking mind  - from there I worked my way backwards through their catalog, and to this day, while owning everything they've ever released, I don't think they've ever made a record as solid a Rust In Peace

Some really fun tracks in there to cover too.  I was in a band for a while that did nothing but Metallica and Megadeth covers (on bass guitar) and some of those tracks are pretty challenging.

[Ultimetalhead]

Holy lolno. The "possessed with hellish torment" section actually felt menacing and evil on the original. The remaster sounds like Mustaine just being slightly more nasal.

[Progmetty]

Wow!
Wait.. did we talk about this before?

[Ultimetalhead]

Wow!

Maybe...I remember having some huge disagreement with you about Megadeth.

[Progmetty]

Probably about this.
I thought just had my first internet Déjà vu

Interesting.  The first time I heard that album, it turned me off.  It was hard for me to get past the overall sound and enjoy just how good the songs were at the time.  Kind of reminds me of Mindcrime, which sort of had similar production values in that it deliberately had a very cold, harsh production quality that I found very offputting at first.  The much warmer sound on Countdown is what really pulled me in, hooked me, and made me a fan.  Then Youthanasia came out, and I realized this was a band that had some serious good things to offer, and I went back and really got into RIP at that time.  To me, RIP-Youthanasia (and included the Hidden Treasures EP) was the golden age for their sound.  Other than a few songs here and there, I don't like the earlier albums.  With Cryptic Writings, I felt like they went too far in making a slick, polished, friendly-for-the-masses album, although there are definitely some strong tracks.  Risk was a glorious experiment and comes in for me at #4 behind the "big 3" albums mentioned above.  After that, it's sort of hit-and-miss, where on any given albums, I like some songs and skip others.

I got the Rude Awakening album as my first Megadeth experience because I wanted to hear The Mechanix (being a huge Metallica fan at the time, it made me very curious). I thought the song sucked, because that live version is really atrocious, but I ended up listening to a bit of the first disc and it was fucking sick. Dread and the Fugitive Mind, Kill the King, Wake Up Dead, and I was hooked.

I then bought Rust in Peace because everybody talked about it, and I didn't care for it much until one day it just clicked. I never listened to Metallica again.

[Zook]

You can't listen to both bands? That's weird.

I'm trying to remember--when you and Russell Allen first got together and decided to form a band, didn't you guys meet at a Metallica concert?  I thought I remembered reading that somewhere.

I can. I chose not to.

Russell Allen didn't join me until we released that shit album with Rod Taylor or some shit. Learn your history, noob.

Why are you pretending to be Michael Romeo?

[Ultimetalhead]

Bosk thinks I look like him, so I guess that means I am.
