Interesting, but a little too pop for me

Review Score: (6/10)
This is a pretty good album and is a decent try to depart from the continuous heavy metal sound that they are used to, but it left me wanting more metal and less pop. I think that Metallica made a much better effort on their Load and Reload albums, but it just didn't work for Megadeth, not on this record anyway.
