Painfully Lame

Review Score: (4/10)
Well at least Megadeth is unpredictable. I don't usually write negative reviews, but a trend must be pointed out here. Megadeth seems to release a strong album only about once every other time. This is not one of those times. Besides the cheesy songs, the production ruins this album. It is grating and irritating and not even interesting, just painful. Sorry guys. I don't mean to be discouraging, but I am just stating an observation. And Dave I know you are a smart guy, I know you didn't like Youthanasia. So I am betting you probably don't like this one either. You've gotten some airplay with Crush 'Em. So I was thinking maybe the next album could be non-radio friendly and we could get back down to business. BTW, Nick get back over here.
