it to a few places and we'll get started so talk amongst yourselves fellas all right here we are hijack mangan how are you good man good talking to you it's been good yeah i got your message the other day i was like it literally in the middle of like uh i was in the middle of getting a car so everything was super hectic stuff like i couldn't really chat but i was gonna get back and have it people of the world megadeth's new album was released yesterday the sick the dying and the dead is that it the sick the dying in the dead i get confused sometimes which i hate that title you do i'm not really a big fan of it i mean i don't ever it's fine but i don't know right off the bat tom's already pissed off i was against title no good i was very adjacent to the making of this album obviously that was when i was still in the megadeth orbit so i mean i remember maybe somebody else got in my head because somebody else didn't like that title and maybe that but i don't know i just never i don't know i thought dystopia was like the perfect album the perfect title the perfect imaging everything about it was so fresh and so cool and now it just kind of feels like they recycle it's the same vic rattlehead it's oh yeah hold on hold on let's we'll get into that we'll get into that we'll get into that against me was released the new album early wind about to be it he's like cranky i think it's just a crease of crankiness right all right jack jack megan all the way in arizona tom and green bay me and parent and munch y'all actually he's in la val south north of munch y'all all right today on the show i did a poll before we started and i'm just going to give you preliminary numbers of the fans a metalhead metalhead fans their thoughts on this new album 70 to 75 percent of these fans said that eight and out of 10 plus so they thought the album was eight out of 10 and more than that that's 70 to 75 percent and of course the difference said seven out of 10 so 20 25 to 30 said it's below seven out of 10 right all around the all around the table let's just talk about these topics okay but quickly we're don't go into the songs don't go into the album what do you think tom about the production i think that's great i mean their production is pretty top-notch i mean it's always good you know yeah i think the production is great i mean they spent long enough making the record so i hope it's good all right compare and jack what do you think compared to the last album dystopia this production versus dystopia just production i think they're both really solid sounding albums but i think if you know if i had to say which one's better i would go with this one just production yeah just i'd say this is the better sounding parent production now we're going into songs right now we're not going to the history of megadeth just simply the production comparing it to the last few albums it sounds what i expect the megadeth album to sound like in 2022 so you know i think all these bands kind of you know we talked about made inch and deviated from kevin surely and this band should do this and this band should do that you know i think some of these bands that we love have settled into the way they sound and this is just the way megadeth sounds in 2022 i don't think it's better than dystopia i don't think it's worse than dystopia it's just what i expect megadeth to sound like so production wise there's no controversy in my mind okay so killing is my business much better than that production that's what we're saying right fair fair enough it's a different production and it's a different time and records sound different i mean you know p-cell sounds like it does because of when it randy burns and when it was recorded and how it was recorded you know what i mean and now it's 2021 like you couldn't it would be hard to make a record that sounds like p-cells now you know it's just a different time and different technology and things are done different and filtered i have to say i would have to say you know in the last 10 to 15 years this production is rock solid i think it's one of their best jack let's talk about vocals all right comparing what's what's your take on the vocals your impression on the vocals overall um you know i think i'm gonna copy what parent i'm gonna copy from parents paper i think he's settled in to this kind of vocal attack i i liked him when he was younger and couldn't sing as well i was a little bit more like the p-cells era and so far so good era i think that's my favorite thing he can sing now so you're saying it's you you do think he's singing better on this album like i think he's he's more he's more talented as a vocalist now but i don't i don't like it as much i think he's he's gone and it's not that's not to say that he's singing opera he's not ready to sing for uh you know for for nightwish but but i think he's um i preferred younger screamier kind of growlier day when he knew he couldn't sing and you didn't even try it when he did more of his growls like the conjuring like you know that kind of stuff i think i'm more comfortable with the old stuff all right parent let's compare the vocals off of this album to dystopia or the last two albums for that matter look Dave is the singer of the band but i don't really consider him a vocalist i mean i think Dave is almost a spoken word artist you know he's almost like speaking over music more than he is singing i would say so you know i have Dave's voice i think as we all know is an acquired taste and and for a lot of people it might be what turns them off from megadeth for other people it's what's interesting or different about them look if you put a gun to my head i'd say his vocals are my least favorite part of the album and we'll get into other parts of the performance after but it just it sounds like Dave i i feel there's a few songs where he's really struggling and i and i really don't like them i think sacrifice the is one of the songs you're getting into the songs where man he's really like like like kind of jack insinuated someone needs to tell Dave that he really can't sing you know and then yeah i think we're we're way past that point tom just just from a vocalist perspective i i think first off i think Dave mustane is pretty aware that he can't sing you know this is one thing i'll say and i was thinking about this last time we're thinking we're talking about you know one thing that you know megadeth has over metallica Dave mustane just sounds like Dave mustane like metallica lost the formula like metallica they wanted to sound like metallica couldn't you know if you gave them 80 billion dollars first up they'd say well i already have 80 billion dollars i don't need it back in back and he couldn't do it like mustane still sat for for being 40 years older and be going through cancer he still sounds like mustane i think lyrically he's going on again to lurk soon just the vocals the melody right now yeah i think lyrically he struggles a little bit more but vocally i think he sounds good i think he sounds like him that's one thing about mega that's why you still listen to a new megadeth record because he still sounds like Dave mustane you know for better or for worse he still sounds like Dave mustane i think he tried singing a little bit on risk in some of the albums and it was kind of that was him singing you know i think he's kind of giving that up thankfully yeah i would say that you know he's got a distinct tone and it separates megadeth from everyone else and people know when you play a megadeth song that's megadeth and he his vocal melodies and his voice and his tonality fits the music that he's creating okay and he's writing the music with his voice in his head that's what i'm trying to say and you can say he's not really a singer but i you know as a guy who toured the world basically having to sing like him for years like it's not easy to do man it's a weird nichey thing it is he has like a spoken word artist almost you know i mean all right now let's get into lyrics all right jack when i'm reading a lot of comments online and people are saying oh my god these are cringe lyrics this is cheesy what on earth is dave doing here jack what are your first impressions overall not song by song of the lyric very well thanks for inviting me to this minefield let me walk yeah i there's definitely some cringe um there's a little bit of like military fetishism going on like uh i don't know what he's what but davis always had i mean come on peace sells is kind of goofy and i'm you know don't send me a hate mail i love peace sells i already did i'm composing it right now all right thanks what time you can you send me email all the time but yeah um that's just speaking for you exactly right right just like like huge yeah like i get it but no so what you're saying is he's he's more cringy than mechanics or less cringy than there's nothing more cringy than mechanics come on yeah yeah that's right right right he topped the out the cringometer like in 1984 but his sense of humor is still kind of the same i mean he's still there like in the new lyrics on this new the lyrics of davin 2022 it's kind of like come on come on dave like grow a little um you know no fans dave i love you but i mean you know it's it's so yeah i'm the thumbs down i mean i'll keep it succinct it's on thumbs down all right baron lyrics tell me overall impressions on the lyrics yeah you know i think the themes are interesting but the lyrics themselves in a couple of instances are kind of juvenile but it's back to like the voice thing it just is what it is at this point like i'm not really expecting him to uh you know quote poetry like steve harris or whatever and give us rhyme of the ancient mariner or something you know it's like that's not going to happen so the themes are interesting the lyrics are a little juvenile like i said i think dave's performance unfortunately is the low point of the album vocally and writing lyrics and we'll get to the high points i'm assuming next and your next yeah so top tom you know you write lyrics too i mean what do you think i mean i mean has his lyrics improved have they gotten down have they uh gotten worse i should say yeah you know here's the thing i mean i you know again i i i it's so funny i feel like dystopia was like this perfect almost classic era meganov record show for me the bar was set so here's one thing i've always said about mustane though obviously mustane's a very trumpy right wing guy and i always said this in his lyrics he always kind of stayed in the middle he'd write things that could be interpreted both ways like you wouldn't hear you know that that's a good lyricist right that's a good lyricist that's it and i think he kind of lost a little of that on this record he's kind of veering a little right where it's harder to but yeah that's one thing that was always i'd always say this to ellison is one thing about mustane is he could stay neutral even though he was politically very right wing he could write something that was right wing but you could interpret it either way you know what i mean but i you know but but i think i think his concept i think he's just getting a little too in his right wing sort of you know thing which which is which is again the military fetishism and all this stuff but he's always written sort of from that perspective so it's hard now that i know his politics it's like now i can kind of hear it in there but i guess when i was 14 i didn't so i mean but like i think his lyric i think yeah there's some really cringy shit on it and as a lyric guy that's the first thing for me if a lyric's on an album don't do it for me i'm like but i like it's about half and half i mean there's some brilliant shit on this record i mean there's some of those maggot those mustanisms and those really clever euthanisms and you know but but again there's i'll tell you i really enjoy his lyrics and because they're simple and he there's wit and there's humor and you have to get his humor there's there's so much humor going on there and people take him too serious but then there's a serious side of him you know the military fetish like jack saying right it's there but that's the kind of music that fits right okay now now let's get into the jack i want you to talk about quickly about overall your impressions of the bass the guitar and the drums i love the drums are drums actually the first thing i'm going to talk about because the drums really stood out for me on this record um much more than anything in a long time i think from uh for megadeth and also i'll say guitar davis actually davis day is one of my favorite guitar players not because he's like a billion notes per second but because he kind of takes his time you hear every note and he's just always like the i'll go back to getting the conjuring or uh in a holy wars you know that is his solo is i can always tell his when they come on or even hang a routine of course is a famous solo so just he's just fantastic i love his phrasing just love the way he kind of talks with his guitar and i feel like i'm that davis not been there as much in the 21st century albums and i just love the way he sounds on this record it sounds like he's just super charged um the bass sounds really good on this record too i'm you know that of course this is another interesting topic i'm curious to know what it would have sounded like had they gone with uh their their original guy but i heard i heard some of it i heard some of it in progress it sounded good i mean i mean it definitely sounds different i mean i'm probably the only person on earth who can actually speak to this but you know i mean it sound it sounds good i mean i mean georgia's got a totally different style and a totally different tone it sounds a little darker with him it sounds a little deep but it said sounded great with ellison i mean it did it sounded great i mean you know davis playing just what was it note for note that they they redone is that or it was just different sort of bass lines or you couldn't tell or you can't i mean i i mean you know to be honest i didn't have the album to sit and scrutinize it with the old bass parts but you know i'd heard some of it but i would think mustane no matter who's playing bass is still going to be telling that person here's how you need to be playing it now of course dave elson and steve and georgia are different people yeah but but i still think there's some direction being given there in terms of how this song needs to be i think probably a little more general direction i like i think mustane's a little older where he understands he's surrounded by people who know how to play so i don't think it's as much of him dictating okay this is how you need to play it it's not like when they're making p cells you know what i mean i i think there's a little more freedom i mean i think some of the parts definitely change some with the georgio from my recollection but again i think the biggest difference is me are tonally and just how he you know he plays and i mean look it sounded sounded good with ellison it sounded like ellison this doesn't but you know again this to me again kind of sounds like the megadeth record you know ellison has a very distinct playing style and it was cool hearing him play with dirk and some of the dirkblast and some of the different twists and turns musically on this record you know but that is definitely a definitely a different record with georgio on it for sure all right before pairing you answer drums bass and guitar i'm just going to read some comments scott is saying i love the sound on the album in general really crisp and clear i agree with that time he's saying dave sounds and looks healthy love the new album kevin's saying i think the sound is the real high point on the album i would agree i think this is one of the best productions they've ever done and i was watching this youtube video of a guy was like really criticizing the production i'm like what planet are you on what album are you listening to but that's a person who just maybe likes one he's kind of probably listening to frequency that frequency is wrong that's a guy's favorite band is like epica or something or everything no look at um uh wait a little what what and here's a guy who says tronk says what do you guys think about ping floyd i think you're on the wrong podcast buddy no i have no opinion robert saying new cd is killer uh artists saying dave vocals are unique when you hear his voice you know it's dave i would agree when you hear brian johnson you know it's acdc absolutely yeah kevin's saying the charm of his voice in the early days the new album is sick i love it's a scott hey guys the taylor hawkins tribute gig is on in 15 minutes i guess we missed it i guess that's why i got up today you know i'm i'm i'm sure the highlights will be available nowhere when it's all done i mean all right parent parent tells life you know before we get into each song let's go to uh the the drums base yeah so so i i really want to say that for me the musical performances make this record for me is what what takes this record to another plane are the the musical performances of kiko dirk and i guess steve de georgio i'm i'm so blown away by this i'm really glad that this band and now you know i'm and dirk and kiko have been with misdane for a good while now i'm glad that we got this performance out there recorded and noted because honestly and in terms of a unit a recording unit this might be my favorite like a top three megadip performance for me i mean i love menza and marty friedman obviously you got to love gar sannielson and chris poland but for me this is right up there i mean i'm so impressed by what kiko and dirk in particular and then i guess steve de georgio coming into it later brought playing the right thing in the right song just little intonations and mood things uh you know listening to this kind of even the second third time uh i was really listening to dogs of chernobyl a little bit before and i just love some of the stuff kiko was doing in there it almost sounds here again it almost sounds a little right but i mean see that's why i have to always tell him jack i always tell him but sometimes a player could just do a little something with each song that just gives it its own little nuance so it was heavy and slamming apart baron i was reading this review by a major magazine online and they go and the reviewer i'm reading and i go what he goes me and he ends off with megadeth was never known to have many nuances in their music and i'm like well then then this is like a major magazine people work for major public media magazines don't know their head from their ass and i won't name the magazine i can't even believe he said that if you watch him at one cursory listen you know they give it one cursory listen and they don't listen to it again and if you want to look for nuance you're not going to get that in one listen you got to kind of get familiar with the songs and hear them but megadeth were never known to be a bad that's megadeth that's who they are you have this guy listen to it once and he said oh yeah so blown away by the music blown away by the music yeah okay my turn no i get to hang on you went on your turn you had your turn i didn't i talked about ellison for 10 minutes because that's what i was going to talk about i want to talk about the guys i love only here on this show will you get the real deal go ahead yeah so i did i love dork and kiko man and i'm so here's the thing like i feel like everything from like the world needs a hero to dystopia all like it was just Dave moustaine albums like i feel like megadeth there's a band again i feel like dork and kiko i feel like this again chris poland gar samuelson marty friedman nick menza dork and kiko i feel like it's a real band now they gelled they wrote a record together they were earthed together i think you know dork and kiko are just two of the most fabulous people and musicians on earth and just hearing them together i was really happy to hear a record with dork man i mean i loved you know the playing on dystopia but i think dork really took it to another level and that's to me dork and kiko i mean look moustaine is great and his playing is great and everything he does is great he's moustaine we don't even need to praise him anymore but dork and kiko man i mean they're just a fucking machine and i think they really set the bar with this record man i i really i agree with you tom i agree with you you know what i do is i on my first listens and then people know this about me i listen to the songs as songs and then i start taking them apart by you know chord progressions and that's what i was asking about the temple change because i couldn't even figure out what the frig was it a three four a six eight i'm just trying to figure out these little things that no one cares about but i do and and and just start taking it apart that way you start saying what a bad lot of nuances okay here we go um the first song we'll go around and let's not just because there's like 10 tracks here let's not spend like 10 minutes each on each song let's just quickly i mean on my version okay with the bonus tracks uh the sick the dying and the dead jack what you think uh well there you go with the the humor in the intro you know it kind of takes me back to set i don't want to set the world of fire you know that's dave you know i'm bringing the bring out your dad like that's that's kind of a classic moustaine little jokie intro i think the first song is killer although a spoiler alert for me i think like the first five tracks are all pretty killer okay jay you're jumping ahead let's just go into the first song please uh so all right so yeah the first song i think um this is not metal asylum here you know there's strict rules there's protocols go ahead yes over analyze everything this is the protocol go ahead jack um well that uh yeah but i'm gonna take it to a metal asylum kind of level uh not no it's by the way jack is on metal asylum check him out go ahead yeah oh thank you sir um now i i mean i'm sorry i'm i'm actually just gonna say i think i dig the song um lyrically it's kind of it's it's dave lyrics because it pulls me in a little bit i'm like what the hell is he talking about so and then so that's mission accomplished right whether you like it or not i think he keeps you interested but i think this is this is the song it's it's a good wake-up call it's a good intro to the album and it really kind of made me sit and take notice because as i said i'm not throwing shade i guess i am a little bit i've not none of the recent megadeth albums not even dystopia time have really held my interest i listen and kind of just might i start to oh then you're wrong sir you're wrong you're up too early man yeah so that's it that's my take is that it all right parent the sick the dying and the dead the first track not the 10th track not the 8th track not the 7th track the first track i think it's a great first track i think it's i saw now let me say i think it's a great first track it's not my favorite on the record it's probably only my fourth or fifth favorite on the record but i think it's a great track to introduce the record and i think a lot of bands these days do a bad job of that that the first song which really needs to set the tone and tell you what the record is about doesn't necessarily do that in every case and i think it really does set the table nicely for the record gives you a sense kind of thematically lyrically musically what we're about to kind of delve into so it's not my favorite but it's a good kind of crack door open makes me want to kind of explore this more so i did you like you don't like that is a little phrasing of yeah yeah yeah you know that little part there that's a new ones i like the song i like a little nursery rhyme thing but like i said i think there's i think there's it's good but i think there's higher highs on the record yeah and i get out there's not a band known tom it's your turn go ahead i think i i think pacing is really important you know it's a really important part of a record and i think it is a good first track it kicks off the record good i don't really analyze shit the way you guys do you know what i mean but i i agree it's a good first kind of out of the gate yeah that's the pace for the record yeah yeah it is about the black plague and how it's sort of you know you know attacked the the virus sort of went across europe and uh you know and they talk about sissoli or italy and uh yeah it's it's got a good theme some great lyrics and holy crap i love this song and i love the ending you know just sort of repeats the and holy crap the nuance the nuance lots of nuances quite out the nuance of every song so the review from i'm gonna talk about it yes yes all right life in hell jack's nuance life in hell here's the second track what do you think um again you know it's it's that's another thing takes me back to uh rest in peace because you have the first two tracks just kick your ass it's a it's a really powerful song and actually i can't help but wonder if it's a little bit autobiographical for him because it's kind of a blistering attack on on you know someone who's kind of a mess and i'm kind of like oh wow are you being kind of on are you being like opening up to us here a little bit or are you like no no he's laughing someone else being unaware we need we need some serious input from your side of things from yeah there's no nuance there's no nuances on this very little nuance but not it's it's a good thrashy there's a little bit of a spoken word there you dig that with day when he does that stuff that would be a nuance wouldn't it no yeah and it works on the song but when he does that yeah it absolutely works it adds the power okay when he's done it when it's failed for him in the past it's kind of sapped away and you kind of start to go like yeah i can't take this seriously anymore but no i think it really works for the song and it's it's a it's a ballsy kind of really good it's a great you get the spy versus spy reference did you get that spy versus awesome i did all right parent i'm surprised more i'm surprised more people aren't talking about this song because it's definitely top three on the record for me it might even be number one like again every listen it's a little different but you know there's other songs people seem to be talking about more i love this song this is like everything i wanted a mega death song it's like it's short it's heavy it's fast uh it's just you know if there's anything that harkens back you know if there's people who need a mega death song that they can kind of relate to if they were an earlier mega death fan a song uh fan i think this is the song so to me this is the song that really like yes you know this is you know jack spoke about how a lot of more recent albums don't really speak to him i'm a little like that too that i love the system has failed everything after that was kind of for me i like dystopia a lot but this song just said to me wow i think this record's going to be something special so i really i really enjoyed the lightning hell tom this could have been off of killing is my business and business is good it's fast it's ferocious yeah you know the drumming is sick on this friggin yeah what'd you think tom which is i i like it i think there's one of my favorite tracks on the record probably you know i feel like and i'm a guy who i mean basically everything between countdown and dystopia i didn't like so i'm pretty i'm pretty critical on mega death records man and you know especially the day solo period you know i i really like this again it feels like a band it feels like a band who really and it's been a long time since i got shut off the phone the hell's going on there my phone started freaking out it like void apparently it hurt me tom you're supposed to be sleeping i know what are you doing up asshole it's n a i'm on a saturday but no i i think again i think this is it's heavy i i probably one of my favorite songs on the record you know it's funny i hate to say it it's kind of like a movie where they put all the good parts in the trailer they kind of released the best shit before the record i mean because the songs that kind of got dropped the singles i was like oh my god this is fucking great and then there's you know a little more mint stuff on the record but i yeah i think i think it's great yeah same here night stalkers we're not going to talk about it because i think everybody's talked about it to death right let's and i think everybody can agree it's a good track it's a good i just want to say let's just talk about nuance that's little kind of acoustic piece and then the and then the breakdown of the bass that's amazing like before ice tea does the spoken word thing which i think is really unnecessary but that the no i love it man ice tea's got that he's good he's got the frigate i love ice i just i don't man but but i just fits in so well it's what leads up to it that i find amazing like i said i you talk about the acoustic in the bass yeah and i think ice tea's a nuance yeah and i gotta say everybody out there do you agree with the ice tea's red colors colors i love body count man i love i don't know me fool you just own me i love it well okay so night stalker yeah any ice tea commentary there jack yeah i was just gonna say you know while he's he's worked with chris polo in the past which he did a really killer track with him i think i like ice tea a lot i don't really think his part adds anything to the song i was going to say about this song this is the best riff on the record the main rift to this oh my god i think he brings it you know the same way public enemy brings uh bring the noise to anthrax's you know sort of the cut their cover of the public enemy that's the same thing that ice tea does to this song yeah it just brings it yeah i think he was underused though i guess i mean i love ice tea yeah but if you're gonna say he's a special guest on the track don't let him do a spoken word thing in the middle of the song you know you're gonna really utilize them right yeah it's almost at the end it's in the last minute and a half or so i thought it was war is gonna break out when ice tea started talking i don't know that's how i feel all right kevin saying ice tea goes legend jim is saying ice tea part is awesome gabryl saying body count have david mustang doing spoken word that's true on the last album david mustang does which was also pretty unnecessary but it was cool yeah yeah all right here we go dogs of shinobal for everybody you know uh this is this is an interesting track a lot of people are sort of mixed on this jack what do you think i think this is still as i said earlier you know i really love the first four or five tracks and this is one of them i think this is song is really killer there's again another one where the lyrics are kind of odd but you know again i dig it i'll give this one a thumbs up even though it's a little silly i think he's he's singing from the perspective of being one of the mutant dog no no no he's he's using the dog the dogs were abandoned metaphor it's a metaphor yes it's a metaphor or a simile it's a very nuanced it's a very new a very nuanced metaphor it's a nuance yeah but maybe you're not recognizing the nuance it's a little infested it's brilliant because there were articles about the animals that were left after the nuclear you know shinobal disaster right the meltdown right and he's using that as abandonment so that's the song so to me that's a lot of nuance happening yeah a lot of metaphor and and and see this might be him getting a little personal because i know he had a lot of abandonment issues from his family stuff this might actually be him slipping in some personal insight via that metaphor yeah so it's a person a very new phyto yes uh so jack i'll let you continue go ahead oh but sure yeah just musically though it says it's a pretty killer track it's got the right pace it sounded feels like old megadeth and actually that's a word i probably should have used a little bit earlier this that's a old mega is that it feels like uh like more like a megadeth record i think tom you've been kind of saying this too feel it's really got a great megadeth feel and this track definitely does and yeah i should i should i've only listened to it like one and a half time this particular song one and a half times but it it blew me away both times and uh you know so i'll hold off on the lyric commentary but it's it feels a little hand-fisted though i mean even if there's some great a metaphor going on there but anyway my tickets definitely thumbs up this is definitely i still feel like we're rolling we're we're rolling at full speed with this track we haven't really hit the the the the the road yeah it's coming the wall it's coming i can i say i'm just sitting there right now picturing game is staying with fistfuls of ham and i don't i don't get i've never understood that expression why would somebody have a ham in their fists like you really like fucking ham like how much you like ham did i just i think it's a very guys i think it's a very creative metaphor i agree i agree and it's sort of like a this this animal kingdom disaster that happened after you know all this talk of metaphors and nuance today man but but you know that's the charm of dave right yeah you know the dogs of shinobal like you wouldn't who would think of to write a title like that right and you know what and before pairing you start getting into it and i was very i was trying to take this apart this is like a waltz so the verses are waltz so bum bum bum bum bum if you really listen carefully it's a three four maybe even a six eight so that's from a musical perspective and if i'm wrong please tell me pair and go ahead so when jimmy got the advance of this a few weeks ago i felt like this was the only song he was talking about and then when i finally heard it yesterday i was like dude you've totally oversold this like it's really not that good but it's one of those it's offline i was talking to the guys about iron maiden senjutsu how you had to listen to that album and some of the songs a few times where we appreciated them so this is a song that i'm appreciating more and more with every listen and now i'm up to three four five listens and i really like it and you know it's easy in quotation marks to write a fast burner that goes really well and sometimes it's easy to write kind of a ballad that everyone loves and puts their lighters up but it's not easy to write a good mid tempo song which i kind of consider this more of a mid tempo song and i think they've captured that here and i i will say i think this is kiko's best guitar work on the album i think i think there's some really interesting things going on even with with chernobyl being russian ukrainian i even feel like it's almost like ukulele at the start of the song and even some of his guitar playing later kind of brings in almost kind of a russian music uh or eastern orthodox influence into the playing like whether he's channeling that or again it's on purpose i found that really interesting so i think this is a song that will be an enduring song for them in a way like in my darkest hour is an enduring song like it's not the fastest and it's not the slowest but it's it's kind of just really constructed in an interesting way so this is this is the the one that takes the most digesting but i think once you do that it's very rewarding very well said an estimated 900 stray dogs lived in the exclusion zone many of them likely the descendants of dogs left behind the mass evacuation of residents in the aftermath of 1986 nuclear disaster chernobyl tom very nuanced very nuanced very nuanced go ahead tom what do you think of this song what am i gonna say that you guys i just said it all i mean all right it's good i do i love kiko's guitar playing there's a there's a there's a lot of nuance there's a lot of character kiko brings that again it's kind of got that today's show is brought to you by the word nuance i mean again the russian piece it's kind of that's where they really came out you know on russian peace with that really injecting that sort of ethnic flavor and the and i i again i think there's a kind of a thread that goes through this record you know and on this song are those kind of you know kiko kind of bringing those ethnic influences and yeah i mean i didn't i didn't put too much thought into the lyrics either way but musically i i think it's just i mean i rather title like that's a great buck and david missane title and i didn't really dive into the lyrics or anything on you know but again it it's a good song and musically it's just fucking brilliant and again i i just thought wow that's a good david missane concept and title you know it's clever you know and i was trying to help her in this this is sort of the growth of megadeth you know this is like the next step of megadeth yeah you haven't heard this before in the past even though it is familiar but at the same time it's out of the box so they're going a little they're organically growing you know then this is the next phase we'll say yeah all right it took like 10 records in between to grow to the next phase which yeah yeah you know i love it to me it's one of my favorite songs okay here we go now are we hitting the brick wall here jack you got sacrifice when i see actually i just did sacrifice as one of the good ones uh i'll be blunt i'll be completely honest i only heard i didn't get an advanced copy i heard it for the first time yesterday okay i can't pick i can't play it on my mental ipod i can't hear it in my head so i need to be said i'll sing it i can't i i don't remember but i just like listed it okay this is one of the good ones i was taking little notes so i feel like after this is when we hit the wall um well i don't want to hit the wall because there's still some brilliant stuff later to come later but i felt sacrifice was part of it it's where we hit the pot hole yeah that's a better metaphor yeah it's great it's good new ones good new ones they're burning um but yeah i think uh sacrifice is still part of that initial rush of just how killer this record hit so so i'll just i'll say his thumbs up because i can't speak anymore yeah and there is a difference between listening to an album two weeks for two weeks versus two hours like tom okay just i didn't talk to any of these guys listening to it any more than me you know i started listening to it last night when you asked me and i was i had like a long drive it's like yeah i listened i listened to more than some of these guys did yeah yeah you know just poking fun top i know i know i know but you know it's funny i had no i sure it's held in rush out when it came out yesterday and go oh my god you listen to the making of the album see there's a difference and you were listening to sort of like the making of it so you have another for two and a half years yeah i mean they they worked really hard and they hit some walls on this recommend it was a really i'll say this i it made me happy just knowing what i know and and you know seeing it come together the way i did because i know they had some struggles making this record and it wasn't coming together and you know you know you know again miss dane went through his health thing right in the middle of it and i'll say that makes me happy as a megadeth fan take all the politics and the bullshit and the personal situation not an equation as a megadeth fan at my core it's made me really happy to hear it and hear it come together as well as it did knowing the tribulations they went through trying to get it made and written you know did you did you like sacrifice i yeah i did again just like you know it's funny i i totally agree though that this is where the record kind of starts to hit the wall you know i i did this is the last song that i really really really liked on the record besides well i won't skip ahead but no i didn't i did don't skip ahead parent sacrifice yeah so look i i really think i'm thinking the same way as jack and tom particularly jack so i really felt the record started with four really strong songs and we'll get to this later i think it ends with some strong songs but i think there's kind of this hot hole crevice whatever in the middle where the crater isn't as good and i think it starts here although i'll call this half a good song musically i like the riff and i like the music in the song i think it's dave's worst vocal performance on the album i don't know if he had a cold that day or whatever i know we talked about the way dave sings before and it's just dave being dave but i find this one particularly monotone and just no you know no nuance and no no nuance in his voice at any point so music great poor vocal performance which takes a good song down a notch in my mind so it's not bad but i think this is where the album does really start to get a little bit weaker than what we saw in the first four songs all right so this is my take on sacrosan i think i know the problem is the verse is really good the music is excellent everything is going off great it's just that chorus i think they change either a key or they go to a minor key and it throws the whole song off and it sounds like this is not a memorable chorus it's just it just doesn't work the chorus and it kind of loses the whole song right there and then that's the problem so i'm with you i would put it like a seven at ten because the musicianship is so strong that's why i would keep it as a seven out of ten i love the verse the way he sings it i just do not like the chorus it kind of throws me off all right jack junkie probably the worst song in the album i listen to this album i did listen to it twice so i think because i'm like two two full listens you know like so unanimous but uh yeah junkies the worst song in the album do you know like how it started uh got a super collider kind of feel to it when it starts exactly yeah remember i don't know the time i gotta i can't think of the intro to be honest all right so we're kind of that's how much you didn't like it you can't even think about it yeah i tuned it i mean tune it out it just was like okay this is a fail this is uh this is this is dave kind of trying something and maybe not trying i feel like in the past dave's bad stuff is stuff where he just didn't put in the effort because when he does put in the effort you hear this guy works harder than anyone else when he's writing his best song you can hear that is how much he put like a song like my last words i mean that riff is unbelievable like this is a genius at work and then you have songs where it's like yeah he just phoned it in it's just like oh crap we need a new song i got another song yeah we need we need to get this just over an hour or whatever you know and i feel like that's junkie not just junkie feel like there's one or two others here but junkie's absolutely one of those ones like all right hang out another one yeah i just like the middle the middle of the album i don't like uh i i agree this is the worst track on the album if sacrifice was the starting to go down the crevice i think this has got the bottom of the crater uh yeah if jock said it perfectly it just feels like okay guys we need one more song for the album okay let me go back here let me write something really quick they call that filler right i mean david mustain writing a song called junkie like how yeah again and it's probably about someone else that's yeah well but but okay still whether it's about him or about someone oh no but that's what i'm saying is that you get ready in three minutes right i mean it feels like a song that was written in three minutes you know so yeah just you know what the album is actually a little long for me i like that we're seeing a lot of albums this year that are like 45 50 minutes and maybe nine ten songs and like for me i'd rather the album be one song shorter and this not be here yeah yeah i'd rather the album be like four songs shorter to be honest okay so so what'd you think tom what'd you think of junkie i mean who do you think it's about i don't know but i don't know you probably do know but you're not saying go ahead what do you think about junkie i mean everything they said it just sounds like you've thrown it in man i i said they had some trouble writing and coming up with some shit and i think this was one of those man i think this was just a fail again i'm not i literally skipped over i tried to listen to it three times every time i went through the album i'm like i didn't the first time i tried to listen to it and every other time i just skipped it you know i mean it doesn't hold your attention at all it's the it was the first track in the album that didn't hold my attention i would i didn't want to say this when i initially reviewed it had a super collider kind of feel to it yeah and that's kind of the parts of super collider that people weren't pleased with i don't wait wait there are parts of super collider that people weren't pleased with well no there's there's some you know there's some good tracks on super collider i don't think it's a horrible i just think that one of them was written by thin lizzie so it's like yeah i'm just trying to say that uh junkie is not one of my favorites but i don't hate it like i i see i wrote put sacrifice and junkie at seven out of ten because i think there's still a lot of good aspects to it it's just very a little too quirky for me i can call sacrifice too much too much nuance too much too little nuance okay yeah not enough all right not the right nuance so now psychopath psychopathy uh however you pronounce it it's like a two-minute spoken radio so we won't even get into it it's like the hellion of sport spoken word him reading out of a fucking medical journal over music i'm so pissed because it was cool it's kind of like the thing i do in the beginning of vultures and it's funny like i'm i was expecting it to go somewhere i was so pissed when it ended i'm like really i thought it was like going into this like epic fucking thing like sweating bullets and then it just ends i'm like fuck you really exactly the same i like psychopathy but then it goes into killing time which i'm like does nothing with it like i just feel like you know where's the happy ending you know so my michael suite is weighing in saying i haven't heard it yet should i take the time to listen come on your friends with dave mustane tell him to send you a copy come on mike it's worth anybody's dad definitely yes oh here it comes is it better than the new striper i don't know if i should answer that question right now and so did michael send you the stream of the striper did you hear the whole record because michael said he was gonna get you the stream guys i'll tell you this send me the damn i'm gonna tell you guys this or not but go ahead i gotta wait i gotta wait i think it's too soon i think michael might like get mad just so he sent you the stream is what you're saying you got the record i heard the album let's just say i heard it okay because you did it then michael said i'm gonna say this preliminary speaking i told michael the exact words i told michael the michael's the man of his word because he got you the stream i'm gonna tell you this i'm gonna just as as a sort of sneak peek if the yellow and black attack and soldiers under command had a baby this would be the album wow wow that's a bold word those are bold words that's what i think that's exactly what i think i told mike and he goes well did you like it i go no i did like it a lot is it a straight striper's gotten really heavy really recently i don't know if people know i'm just saying that that's all i'm saying for now i mean i'll save the bigger review for later i'd rather talk about striper can we just do that instead look at michael's like jumps on like show jack show jack love michael love michael um i was gonna say um that dawn patrol is a kind of the way to throw back with psychopathy it's like dawn patrol is one of those songs no dawn patrol like has a purpose though dawn patrol is fucking dawn patrol is just kind of show up ellison's base and i mean i mean psychopathy just sounds like an intro that just didn't go anywhere like dawn patrol is its own like self-contained thing we'd go on tour and start our set with dawn patrol it's its own song like this didn't feel like its own song this just felt like an intro that didn't go anywhere you know that's how i feel about dawn patrol all right so okay okay so it goes into killing time right jack what do you think at killing time that's where it leads into it's a segue to killing time right well you know i gotta say when i looked at the track this was like holy shit did they do the same cover that metallica did um when i saw that they had a song called killing time yeah again uh killing time what did i say i feel like um that song is really pretty weak until there's a the final rift though the song kind of takes me i'm just kind of droning and then the final rift's like this is a badass rift oh it's over see for a second for a second i got excited and thought they did a head b cover but no so you kind of you're you're luke warm on this you're not really yeah that the final rift is killer i wish you'd taken that and based the song around that the rest of the song is all right parent are we still going in that crater what do you think yeah yeah we're in the we're full on in the crater right now so i i'd say the middle of the record is the crater because uh well look if we're saying that psychopathy was a cool intro that went nowhere we're saying the nowhere is killing time so yeah for me for me again like the the bottom of the crater the two songs i really didn't like uh are our uh junkie in killing time right i think i think they're just coming out of the crater but i think you meet you saying i disagree with psychopathy it's a good setup for killing time and i would agree i do like it as an intro i mean i don't i'm not gonna like the intro i don't like the song yeah well i mean i like spoken word what can i tell you i'm i'm a look i like letter go on what can i tell you all right uh tom what do you think i mean killing time yeah it's all right it's all right i mean again all right we're crater i mean we're coming out of the crater as a spirit if we were done we're coming out of the crater as far as i'm concerned we don't come out of the crater we're going to stick our heads out of it on the next track and police truck but yeah no i mean it's good i liked it i kind of put it like a seven out of eight out of ten you know and i agree with parent we're coming out of the crater now and uh it's it's i mean is this about elson that's what i was asking parrot i go is this about elson i don't know no absolutely no it's not it's not i mean it's not at all absolutely i mean i thought i'd ask him he's a bass player man the songs are the same and i mean like again sonically it would have been a little different one of elson that's probably the only fucking difference you know i mean did you already had a very very capable bass player yeah i mean like i when i heard tom tom here's the lyric when you start moving your lips i know that you're lying so don't tell me you need me you're killing my time stop saying you're grateful because you're not you're so hateful i make sure that i'm ready to go can i can i tell you yeah oh yeah i'm not gonna comment on that but yeah you know it's funny that thought did actually cross my mind um crossed all our minds when you said uh and knowing he didn't have any of these lyrics written before um but but yeah you know it's so funny that that lyric though that fucking it reminded me of that stupid megan trainer song and that kind of killed it for me too you know what i'm talking about all about that bass no that's stupid i see your lips are moving you got everything on this show today i know and the new striper we got the new striper i just want to talk about striper we'll talk about striper after all right soldier on soldier under command on soldier on jack what do you think of soldier on you know you've heard it now this is a song that you've been sitting with for a while here's a military fetishism we were talking about yes watching mankind destroy itself i mean it's kind of telling right as today of you know today's society right this was the weakest of the singles but still a good song this is not the crater i feel like this is a temporary lift out of the crater we're popping a wheelie now that's what you're saying i'm on my bmx my huffy bike jumping out of the crater yeah it's it's a good riff it's a good you know if this had been the lead one i would have been less excited you know i won't jump ahead because you know i don't want to get scolded by jimmy but um this had been the very first single that they'd released i would have been like eh you know i wouldn't have been that interested but but still it's a good song i would call this one a seven out of ten jimmy yeah seven out of ten my god parent what do you think soldier on i mean when we've talked about this yes saying on the crater theme so if sacrifice was taking us into the crater this is taking us out of the crater so soldier on it's good it's not great you know it was the third single and i remember i think we were doing a show at the time and i kind of said okay the first two singles really blew me away and this one was kind of good but it wasn't on that same plane it was just like okay guys what else are you gonna show me so it's a good solid song it's a great riff but we've kind of heard it before but again if you like early megadeth i think this connects nicely with with early megadeth so good song yeah seven seven half is about right i think jeez guys you guys to me soldier on is gonna be one of their best tracks this is like rustin peace here we're talking this could have fit on rustin peace easily okay tom what do you think soldier on again i think it's good i think it's again sort of classic megadeth you know and people want to want some classic too they not only want the little stuff the nuances but they want some classic i want some of the classic nuance you know that nick mensa marty freedman nuance we need to hit a hit a bell every time somebody says honor to me i think it's so catchy i could lie in bed and i thinking i got to soldier on and i mean it's also anthemic in a sense right people could use it as a motivator you know every time they're sort of down in life you know i've got a soldier on all right here we go here's a here's a controversial one jack celebutant um this song is killer actually i feel like this is the sleeper track on the album it's so killer it's such a heavy song it's a great mosh pit song i'm old i don't go in mosh pits anymore but it's a great mosh pit song and this is one i did think he didn't write a song about dav ellison's little tris did he like i i had to kind of think like this does he didn't he didn't probably didn't go there i mean i'm sure he this does feel like it's absolutely about a real person not him well i mean i don't think so i think it's a general because he talks about models and actors so i don't think i think it's more about like the Kardashians and so so you know jack starts stops throwing the pod jack stops spreading rumour for an exclusive or metal asylum i guarantee somewhere in this album there's some lyrics written about ellison you just gotta figure out what one's there and it's not this no i mean i i didn't really think like i'm not trying to like get a scoop here but no it crossed my mind listening to the song but i think you're right i think it's more of a general attack on this official i'm not trying to give you shit either there jack i've just tried just busting your balls no i i think it's all good this is this song is killer this is one i will go back to again a lot and this is what i think will be a sleeper hit i don't think this will be one that they'll drag out live and a lot of people talk about but i think this is one that this one's for me so thank you jade are you the celebrity taunt is that all right is it about you is it about jack i was four models on online here okay parent would you think i think jack and i are seeing the record pretty similarly because for me here we're fully out of the crater so this is we're out of the crater i was out of the crater in the last song no but the record starts off slamming and then i think there's a lot of mid tempo kind of stuff but then the song before and this one it gets really heavy again so i kind of like where we go with this it's an interesting song this was also definitely one of my favorites on the record so top three or four on the record for me i agree we probably won't see it live but it'll probably will be a song like yours from now will be saying like if they do bring it out live a few years from now as a kind of surprise deep cut we'll all be really happy with that so good tune fully out of the crater good song tom man you guys just have me stuck in the middle now i'm just trying to you know i don't know if i want to agree with jimmy or if i want to agree with those guys that but no i i dig it again it's heavy you know again i i feel like this is out of the crater coming out of the crater we sure like this crater metaphor just yes just a very nuanced metaphor man this i hope this guy's watching i hope really hope this guy is watching you just gonna blast him on the nuances no i no i i i compassion it was me i wrote that article the guys there's a lot of records that have craters right i mean seriously how are you heard that start and end well but the middle is kind of and and that's kind of when we sum this up how many albums have you heard that just don't have a crank i can't remember the last album that you're gonna have a crater than just a flat line right so yeah okay i'll take it to me to me this this celebutans like a thrasher could have been on dystopia if you ask me you definitely could have been on the last album you know it would sit well there i mean the topic's a little off topic for dave but you know what that's what makes dave dave you know yeah talking about the Kardashians all right here we go um now there has been this this song has completely been polarizing the megadeth community i'm sure if i did a poll on this on mission to mars people would say 50 percent would say this is the the greatest track they've ever written and the other 50 percent this is the most cringy horrible track method megadeth has ever done jack oh then obviously they missed a bunch are we out of the crater and blasting off are we just like exploding in space and falling to pieces what's going on here jack uh no the last song was absolutely a wheelie uh this song is mission to mars not the last ones no mission so i'm saying that this is right back in the career this song is terrible uh this song actually this is the first time i started thinking of 90s megadeth and actually i like i mean i do like 90s megadeth um but this song is just terrible it's it's a mistake um what did i say i think i know they know it's there jack it's not a mistake tell us how you really feel jack um no i mean and it's it's it's not the worst in the record but yeah it's just it doesn't i mean i applaud dayford goofing around and trying something different like like it's not but it's this is a fail this is escape from writhelite why do you hate it so much it just it's it's also tonally it's such a i mean and sometimes that's a good thing sometimes you know you want a tonal shift to snap you out of it and go like wait a minute we just did something weird here but it's just it just feels silly um and lyrically it's silly it's it's it's silly it's mechanics let's go back to mechanics please go ahead that's really nuanced song about about about making drive shaft crank and yeah that's nuanced if funny enough like you know there's a line that says you know uh they speak about rust i don't even think anything actually rusts on on mars actually there's no oxygen there's no oxygen on yeah it refers to rest in piece but i think that's kind of rust meaning the sort of the the the texture of the planet but go ahead yeah right i think actually yeah he said that's a spoken word it's i don't think it's even dave someone said like i'll just let a rusted piece about something that i think it's abandoned out but things don't rest but anyways yeah yeah this is one i'll i'll not go back to and let's do again again all right okay jack hates it go ahead burn well i think this is the first time jack and i kind of disagree like we've kind of been pretty close but i like this like did the dave actually exhibit a bit of a sense of humor on one of his records because uh i don't know if i've heard that since hello me meet the real me or something like that i find this is i think it's kind of fun and it's quirky and i feel it's almost like if the uh the actors in the hangar 18 video did our reunion 20 years later like beverly hills nine oh to me this is like six million dollar man intro you know this is the only dollar man it's it's it's funny it's like i like that the little breakdown where like the the aliens are talking to the supermodels or whatever it is like i don't know i i found it kind of funny and aliens talking to supermodels yeah we're talking about the same song there's a funny part there's a funny breakdown in the song and oh you mean when he when he talks up when he's sort of like blasting off and hey ladies and yeah i just asked exactly exactly i i go i like that and now now it's just really is i see playing the part of the aliens i know maybe not i don't know maybe you know uncredited i don't know but no i guess maybe it's it would be better if it ended the album of rose an extra track or something i agree i have an extra track kind of feel like it's it's the album is very serious and then you have this and it goes back to being serious so maybe that's the problem i will but stand alone if we're just talking about the song not how it's flows on the album i like the song i find it kind of funny and interesting all right um it's gonna sneeze i'm yawning because it's 10 in the morning and it's 10 in the morning and this is rock and roll you don't do rock and roll at 10 in the morning on a saturday and i mean honestly i'm indifferent i i bad and i didn't really pay much attention to it one way or the other i chuck olden went ha ha but i agree it should have been probably like at the end i mean whatever it's a weird goofy little fucking interlude in the middle of the record for the middle end of the record whatever look guys i've said this to parent i go this is my favorite song on the album really yeah i would i would definitely first of all i'm a space i'm a space you know nut you know when it comes to stuff like this to me it reminds me of steve austin and a six million dollar man when you know i'm a stone cold steve austin you know to me this song you know is is david mustang quirky uh witty storytelling and the chorus is super catchy you know i could see this as a music video and you know that made me think of it made me think of nick menzik and i've been kind of i mean me and polin started working on lyre again on his book and i was talking to gumby this week who was john goodwin who was one of megadeth's you know roadies and and him and nick were in bandits for a long time and again so kind of the it kind of made me think of nick and the whole rest in peace alien hanger thing well i think this is actually a prequel so the earth has been vaporized the earth is no like i guess what happens is they're blasting off to mars he goes to mars at least from what i can hear and then when he's in mars he sees another ship there right and he thinks there's some sort of alien life but he's not sure and then he goes mission control we got to leave right now mission controls know you need three minutes to take off and he goes we don't have three minutes sort of like the aliens are coming after him and then he goes we need to land to earth and he goes earth has been vaporized so go to jupiter and and that's kind of where the signal really been listening to this close this is my favorite song talking about man wow so that's the story so earth was that's why i post that earth has been vaporized because because we were wondering in the story yeah yeah so in the story earth has been vaporized and he has to land on jupiter but mission control goes out and Dave's going over over that's how it ends so it's a great story well it's a sequel good that'd be a prequel no it's okay it's a sequel to the final countdown yes it's a prequel to the final countdown i think or hangar you know 18 right no i'm gonna stick with the final countdown i like that better we'll be back last we'll be back what you guys think i like we'll be back last song we'll be back this is well this isn't i guess i listened to a different version but uh because i thought i'd know there were more this is of course it was the first song probably most of us heard yeah and this is a song that made me snap to attention this made me go okay Dave is back megadeth is back uh just even though the verse is exactly the same verse as black friday of that's all right that's all right though yeah he can copy himself he can plagiarize himself that's allowed that's a copy's allowed yes yeah and it really works the chorus is actually if i really want to break it down the chorus is a little silly but it doesn't matter the rest of the song is just killer it's guitar solos tempo Dave um you know this is what this is davis dane being davis dane at his best so i think i don't know if this is my favorite song in the album but it's it's a killer track it just it rocks tom we'll be back you've heard it now you've had a lot of time to listen oh yeah again like jack said you know it's the one that came out and got got my attention and again to me it's very pcells kind of modernized that out yeah it's great classic classic megadeth all right barron i think we've talked about this yeah i mean honestly exactly like jack said you know when we first heard it after not hearing from the band for a while it did really say to us that megadeth was back it's i think it's the kind of megadeth song that we all like and brings us back so uh good track good track to end i guess the regular record because then there's bonus tracks but you know we'll be back again is always a good way to kind of end a record you know this isn't the end we'll be back okay and now we have the two bonus tracks i'm not sure if you guys heard them or not i know i have mine only has one mine only has police truck police truck is brilliant police it is and i remember choosing that as a cover it was a brilliant choice of cover yeah and i and i knew you know we had the conversation that they were talking about doing that a year and a half ago because me and dav did holiday in cambodia on no cover you know so it was funny that they were doing a they they were doing they decided after the fact to do police truck but they had actually talked about maybe doing holiday in cambodia do after we'd talked about doing it and then so we ended up doing holiday in cambodia and they ended up doing police trucks so i thought that was funny but i really loved it man i i had thought that song always takes me back to tony hawk pro stator and i just love when a band goes as a cover that kind of makes sense for them yeah but it's kind of off the beaten path a little bit you know i mean cold sweat i like their version of it but it's kind of like obvious and been done a million times right so i like also vocals yeah i like the vocals of the dead canadies you know he's actually doing a better job and the cadence this the cadence of the song works like i don't know i i i really it's it's not a throwaway actually i really enjoy it quite a bit i mean then we have then we have the cover of jack sorry go ahead i was just saying i felt like it actually megadeth's version actually had a little bit of a ballbeat feel to it just the way it kind of sped along and i don't know that first thing i thought of was new even like a bit of a they took the song and made it better if you asked me that that's kind of my impressions because you know 1980 dead canadies came out with it the vocals are very rough you know like all punk bands back then and kind of sort of finessed it a little bit and still made it aggressive you know um all right this planet's on fire this is a sammy hey you're a song for me you know you take something from sammy haygar and you make it better because david mustaine's singing on it now and uh it sounds a lot more nastier so i'm you know uh jack what you think um yeah it works and actually i you know i didn't look at it so i was just listening i was like wait a minute is that sammy haygar on a megadeth album like i heard his his voice i actually didn't recognize the song to be completely honest so don't don't don't punch my metal card but it's okay yeah it's all right i mean it's not like a core album track but it is a fun extra bonus track so yeah i have no no qualms of the song parent unnecessary i would have been happy if the album ended a police truck you know like uh look you know me i like sammy a lot you know i love a lot of what sammy i'm the reverse and the way he writes the opposite of that i know but yeah so i just didn't think i think sammy should be sammy and megadeth mustaine should be megadeth mustaine and where i you know whereas i'm saying hey megadeth doing uh a cover of a dead kennedy song is kind of cool and quirky i don't really find this cool and quirky i find it kind of just like i don't know again in the name of a shorter more concise album this doesn't didn't need to be there for me now and see billy marshall says did you know that megadeth did a cover of priests don't know which song it's supposed to be on amazon event you see that's where they're going to get into trouble like david trying to do howlford right that's the problem so anybody doing dead kennedys it works because you're upping the vocals here but now we're talking about downgrading tom what you think about the plan for the record i did both i'm the same album and it was how i i didn't even hear the sammy hagar cover was on the version i listened to yeah it's a bonus tell you what if they did if they did like you know pound cake or something then i then then we'll talk do some van hagar and then we'll talk then i'll then i'll then you'll have my ear one of your dreams i mean how how nuanced is the sammy hagar cover though that's the real question it's good it takes the song that was a little more slicker and makes it more let's call it dirtier right and more angrier and more moustaine like but yeah sam's on here they're sort of trading off the vocals like there's vocal trade-off so you know one verse here one verse and it makes it feel better jack i wouldn't have known it was a fucking sammy hagar song either probably so cool yeah it's one of sammy's better songs and i'm the guy who doesn't like sammy so all right i think that's about it guys i think we're done i think after about we need ratings man we need we need final well i mean it's hard to rate it for you guys okay so rate it jack what you think out of ten out of the box yeah after two listens i'll give an eight out of ten i feel like this is actually to me this is the i'll be concise i feel like this is the best megadeth record since rest in peace um and i i do like some of the albums after rest in peace but i feel like this is the best one this is the first one that's had songs that have really spoken to me since cryptic writings because i mean cryptic ratings is a you know a hit or miss record but that's something has a bad album has a couple of just really time how the fuck do you not like dystopia doesn't speak to me man i about halfway through i start to drift i start to say like isn't there a new i'm like jack man like i like dystopia i can't put it on today i just i can't put it on today i just i don't know there's it doesn't speak to me yeah i liked it at the time and i got bored of it fast yeah i'm sure yeah i have a feeling this will be the same i don't know i don't really spend a lot of time listening to megadeth these days to be honest so yeah parent yesterday i would have given it a seven now after multiple listens i'll give it an eight uh tomorrow nine no no because of the crevice there will be no nine so it's an eight because there's a crevice to crater and i will say crater sorry not just a crevice a crater crater is much bigger than the crevice i mean there's a pothole the pothole the big pothole and uh i i think it's my favorite since the system has failed so the system has failed is my favorite next generation megadeth album this comes in second and dystopia gets the bronze medal now so i would have had dystopia second so now this knocks dystopia down to third and the re in oh it's not a reunion era but the new era of megadeth but i wouldn't go as far to say it's the best since but is there a new era because ever literally almost every record's had a different band i mean like i know but it's just kind of like there was a pause i guess more time wise time wise there was a pause and then since the system has failed i feel like albums have been coming out as fast and furious although with different members but i like the fact that it does feel like it's the most band like they've been in a very long time and look i like the system has failed and it's pretty much a dave solo record so many but but but chris poland is on it yeah well there you go chris is on it's great it's right okay guys the last question and i want everybody to i don't get to rate it but okay go go ahead and rate it you've heard it like i don't know half half a time good i've heard it more than fucking jackass you keep giving me shit jack dead i lived it twice i've lived like four times all right four times go after four times i know all the nuance i i give it a sell i mean like i'd say a good eight i mean again you know as far as you know rest in peace countdown just i dystopia i'm still gonna put my money on dystopia and yeah but this is you know coming hard and heavy right behind again i like dirk i really like dirk so i mean i might it might creep up on dystopia if i end up listening to it some more we'll see but i mean dude i again dirk and kiko again it's a band it really feels like a band making a record which i really like even you know with a different bass player you know what i mean but feels like feels like a band making a record it feels like kiko and dirk and dave really gelled and and you know when i saw him live man and even with with lumenzo like i could tell i saw mistyne had a smile on his face you could tell it's like that's what he needed he needed a guy in his band who was going to give him shit who would just play parts and again i feel like mistyne's happy in his element the other guys really support him well and you know maybe lumenzo will get to play on the next record we'll see you know i'm gonna say what my rating was two weeks ago and it's the same as today i like to sell even more after two weeks it's somewhere between an eight and a nine out of ten so it's somewhere there but time will tell where it but definitely not less than an eight out of ten you know and and if i had to rank it in the catalog i'd go rust in peace peace sells killing is my business at least for me and then i'd probably put it around either that or countdown sort of be either tied or depending you know around there so like in the top five there wow wow that's after two three weeks of listening to it right so it's really a good well-rounded record look every album they have is always like one or two week songs we got to be be honest right so that's it guys this is the last question you gotta yeah guess or no parent has megadeth and dave mustain run out of gas no no all right you you literally just said this is your like top five records obviously not yeah no proof of no no i said i didn't say that i know oh yeah all right stop confusing i would i would have it i would probably have it just outside my top five but there's no that there's enough good material here to say they're not running out of gas all right jack and we're not talking about jalapeno here jack have they run out of gas i didn't even listen to the album i don't know yeah i don't listen to like a quarter of a time actually after one listen you could feel if the energy's still there the moment like i said two two full listens and i and i feel like yes this is a they have not run out of gas is i feel like they've recharge actually and this is top five megadeth for me and bottom of the top five for sure i'm i'm pretty close to you jimmy although i p-cells is my my peak for megadeth but uh yeah i feel like this would probably be number five i think they're i'm excited for new megadeth even though you know i know we keep talking about uh dirk but i know james lomenzo is really the future of pace and megadeth well as much as as much as we can ever know with megadeth you know what i'm gonna tell you after two weeks i'll listen to this so the first so two weeks ago i put it on because i had to listen to it to review it right and now i'm listening to the album because i want to listen to it now that's there's a big difference there tom of megadeth run out of gas no metallica did that's another show can we have that like it's the megadeth it's metallica have they run out of gas show slash striper's new album yeah no i don't think so at all i think again i think the batteries are recharged and especially as hard as it was for them to make this record i mean to hear them come through it this powerful making a record that all you guys are saying top five i mean that's that's that's powerful stuff you know yeah yeah yeah and there was this big crater right in the middle too so i mean to have a top five in a big hey they're they're like 60 it seems like 60 some years old if you can make a record that's 80 brilliant fucking good for you i mean i mean most bands don't even come close these days most older bands making new records don't even come close to anything they would have made in their prime you know i i think megadeth is really you know i think that's an accomplishment i think that's really you know i mean i think that's a pretty fucking impressive feat guys this is how much of a space fiend that i am if you look at them the the metal voice logo there's not stars and space and the sort of earth planet earth so that's kind of why i love mission tomorrow so much all right guys see you guys next time thank you for participating see you next saturday at five in the morning yeah we'll make it even earlier for you tom yeah please i'm gonna go listen to the new king's x because people need to pay attention to a great band so i'm gonna go listen to the new king's x right now i'm gonna go put on striper right after this i'm gonna go not listen to music at all i can't go back you're going back to bed maybe blind guardian that's what i haven't hey blind guardian look at here i love it great album i think it's one of their best but no one seems to be talking about it well you are you're we're talking about it right now pick it up pick it up did you like it jack so far so good i haven't given her enough to listen i had to listen to this megadeth album so i'm here can you can you tell me about every individual song wrote i will and i'll give you a rating afterwards and if they've run out of gas they have not run out of gas but how much nuance does it have a lot other german man there's no nuance there you know straightforward rock and roll baby all right guys that's it all right
