Cosmo Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 So Megadeth dropped their new album, "The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead!" this week, after their longest period between albums. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It has a fresh sound, I was pleasantly surprised listening through it how it wasn't just Dystopia Part 2. There weren't really any memorable solos, but the songwriting isn't lacking by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title track is killer, lead single too. I agree, not a lot of memorable solos (I did like the more melodic bit on the title track though) and I'm pleasantly surprised Dave didn't overdo it on the conspiracy lyrics considering the current scenario.

Oh definitely, you even got tracks like Mission to Mars which are just for fun compared to being this serious political album some expect out of Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Quite sad Kiko left the band. Love his playing, he seems like such a nice guy, plus, it’s nice to see someone from where I was born playing in such a huge name band.

highvoltage Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Pretty sad to see Kiko exit. I really liked the phrasing and personality he added to Marty's stuff particularly. Teemu seems an absolute monster player. Very faithful to the source material, he's obviously done his homework. I just don't hear a lot of his own personality coming through like I did with Kiko. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimisbatman Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The covers are next level too. Wish M did heavy metal by Hager though in same vein as current cover WOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
