@Bassbait It fits perfect even though it contradicts because it gives the listener a little bit of variety. Honestly, what or song would open so well for Headcrusher? Also, to say the song is very lyrically based is like saying Eruption is based largely on guitar, all songs are that way. That whole statement is like saying Eruption is bad because the guitar tone doesn't have enough bass, it just doesn't make sense. That why its a ballad.

[Bassbait]

@EpicUberMan1000 Actually, no. Criticizing the lyrics when the song is based on lyrics is like criticizing the guitar part of an all guitar part song. The lyrics of the song are bad, and thus, the song isn't what I like. If Eruption was a terrible guitar part, I would criticize it for being so, just as I criticized the Megadeth song because of it's inability to be true to Megadeth's nature, especially with their best albums.

I hate to be a dick but you bashing "The Hardest Part of Letting Go...Sealed With a Kiss" because of lyrical subject is just ignorant and shows the wide variety you must have in the music you listen to.

[Bassbait]

@EpicUberMan1000 I hate to disagree, but there are two reasons why you are wrong. The first is because the song is very lyrically based, and they contradict the album, Megadeth's roots as a band, and metal as a genre. It's similar to Metallica singing about pillows: JUST DON'T DO THAT. The second reason why is because this is a "preview review", giving first impressions on each song, and my first impression was "a crappy love song? Why? Can't they stick to something less lame?"

I got my pre-order copy of 'Endgame' on Sept.12 and its supposed to come out on Sept.15th.

I agree with most of your reviews. I think the song that has the potential to become #1 is 'how the story goes' becoz it sounds very radio friendly and they should make a vid for it.

In the song 'the right to go insane' , in the last part, I wonder why they soloed over the already great sounding riff (the riff that everyone thought was from 1320 before anything was released).they sh'ved just kept the riff

[Zacherson72]

Why do you only rant about Broderick's solos? Mustaine has a bunch of epic one on the album as well.

@Bassbait sorry to disappoint you but last rites/loved to deth is about a boy loving somebody AND murder if you look at what Dave says in the 2002 remaster of KIMB..ABIG he says that the basic story is boy loves girl girl doesn't love boy boy murders girl so no-one else can have her

[Budokid]

@Bassbait actually it is about murder. the song was written around poe's the cask of amonillado (or however u speel it) and to make a short story even shorter. guys is chained up by his friend after he (the friend who is in chains) insults him down underground where wine cellars used to be cept. and and when he comes to, he is being sealed in brick by brick. left to die. yes, tornado of souls is a love song. dave has said so himself. last rites/loved to deth is a love song no matter how twisted

[rampage222555]

I really didnt like this album very much. Daves rhymeless lyrics get really annoying(44 minutes). Most of the solos were the same(after the first few songs you already knew how the next solo was gonna be). And youre hating on sealed with a kiss because its a love song? That was actually one of the good songs and it was probably the only different song on the album. And comparing Chris with Marty(virtuoso) is like comparing an emotionless robot with GOD.

[rocafella142]

@Bassbait actually Tornado of Souls is about Dave getting out a dysfunctional relationship with his ex.

[JDanK45]

imo i like daves voice now it just sounds more developed and mature

[Bassbait]

@gandhisleftnut When I can't stomach the metaphysical concept of love? I can, but Megadeth takes it too far. Sorry, there's a certain boundary that stops Thrash Metal bands from becoming Power Ballad Glam Bands, and Megadeth has crossed it multiple times, starting with Youthanasia (which is honestly the last Megadeth album I could stand to listen to). It's just like Metallica singing about pillows and sleeping. It's sell-out crap, and I don't buy it. I'd rather hear something like Holy Wars.

[Bassbait]

@gandhisleftnut Not really. There's only one line in the song that relates to "revenge", but other than that, hardly, if not no implication of murder. Death is part of the song, but murder? Probably not. Last Rites is different because it's ABOUT murder, not just happens to be BARELY related to murder at all. The Hardest Part of Letting Go, regardless of it's subject matter, still has awful lyrics, especially compared to LR/LTD.

[Bassbait]

@gandhisleftnut You're being an idiot by saying that. What makes you think I'm insecure in the first place? Obviously, you're going off of nothing, but it doesn't matter, you can't affect me anyways, you're talking to me through the internet. Anyway, Tornado of Souls is about fear of reprisal, Wake up Dead is about LUST and ADULTERY (not even close to love), and have you honestly read "LR/LTD"? Obviously not. THE SONG IS ABOUT MURDER.

[EpicUberMan1000]

@Bassbait Okay how about this, when you can give me a real reason why the lyrics are bad get back to me and please feel free to include some examples of songs with good lyrics.
