A Mega Mix Up?

Review Score:

(8/10)
This album might be a question to buy, but you never know until you buy it! I have to considering the fact that a lot of people think that this is Megadeth's worst album! But, I don't regret on buying this album! Most of the songs on this album, are played in a lot of different tones that we're not use to hearing Megadeth play in! But every band goes through changes, and I have to say that this is one of them!

This album is a big step on whatever they we're thinking! But I don't think that the Band was in a good mix at the time! Management at the time was not doing so well, and Mustaine had to get Jimmy Degrasso to step in for Nick Meza on drums, because he wasn't getting a long with Dave on where he wanted to go with the music! As For Marty Friedman, this would be his last album with the band also! Everyone had their own thing going at the time, and no one was really going in one direction!

I definitely think that this album takes us toward new directions on what we're not use to; and you might reject it the first time you hear it, but isn't that how we are with people. Some of the songs like 'Insomma' and 'The Doctor Is Calling', they might sound weird, stupid, and sickening, almost like hearing someones inner-psychological-nightmare! But still, with songs like 'I'll Be There' and 'Ecstacy', the songs have a sense to them that might make you feel better about your self, through life or throught your experience with music! Even with the song 'Breadline', to which I rejected far a long time, I'm starting to get use to it! The song 'Crush 'Em', it gives us the esences of Power, anger, and a sense of undertstances (Base on the idea of being a winner, or making it in life) and the struggles that we go throught! Even with the song 'Prince of Darkness', that takes us to dark regions of life! It gives us a sense of what's unkown, what's know, what's right, what's wrong, the idea of being invincible! and that's what we all want to be!

I believe that, this album shows us the complexied of the band and where they can go with their music! And I think that this albums is a fair enough album to be called a Megadeth album! If you don't think so, then that's your opinion!
