A local reviewer's comment on the new Megadeth
Kiko is all over this album with his soloing. IMO he's probably the best fit for Dave's writing since Marty was in the band. His Brazilian background shines through and there are some very latin / melodic phrases all over the place here.
There are some classic Megadeth tracks on offer too."Poisonous Shadows", "The Emperor", "Lying In State", and "Death From Within" are absolute smoking tracks with "Poisonous Shadows" easily being in my top 5 Megadeth tracks ever now.
The three songs released so far are good but nowhere near as good as what is on the rest of the album.
Chris Adler is an absolute beast on this album. I'm going to say it right now, this is (musically) the most talented line-up they've ever had. Hopefully Dave keeps it together!
