I remember when Countdown came out and I loved this album. Youthenasia was an excellent followup and Cryptic Writings was pretty good, but not all that great when compared to their last three. Then Risk comes out and oh boy did I throw that Cd away faster than any other. And I figured it was a one-off. So I buy TWNaH and I said I was done with Megadeth. Two in row of absolute garbage. I could not stand any of the songs although I find 1000 Times goodbye to be hilarious. So when TSHF came out I skipped it. But I heard from a few people that it was just as good as Rust in Peace. So after thinking about it, I buy the album, and HOLY S-H-I-T were they right. TSHF surpasses excellence in my opinion. It's balls to the wall Megadeth and everything about it just kicks ass. So I had my faith newly restored in Megadeth and picked up UA immediately. And again... sour disappointment. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. UA is right up there with the worst of Megadeth. But if TSHF brought Megadeth back well then I should give them another try again like before and I bought their new one Headcrusher. It's better than UA, but it's forgettable. Very forgettable.
Right now, I'm at the same place I was when TWNaH came out. I may check them out again, but I'm not buying the album immediately.
