Having heard Headcrusher I thought it would be more of the same old same, there's a couple of re-cycled riffs in that track, (although I wouldn't have minded that being a big megafan), but so far, I have only heard 3 tracks of the album, and they've definitely moved their game on. I think Broderick may be pushing Dave to new heights, as some of the guitar work, (rhythm, not just lead) is brilliant
Most of the old school guys do not like this album so much. Rust In Peace and older releases are classics, but it's been more than a decade, they've grown and matured. It is natural that their sound would change. This is the new era, and this new offering is one of the best they had for years.
Hi Jan. I believe you are being a bit unfair. I might be old school in the sense that I grew up during the initial thrash movement, but I've continued to listen to and follow the evolution of most forms of metal since that time. I'm an avid metal fan who both regularly buys the new albums and goes to shows in my area, despite being at least 10 years older than most of the fans. I don't just sit around pining for the days of old Metallica, Megadeth, etc. Those days are gone. I've been blown away by the explosion of the Gothenberg Swedes such as In Flames and Dark Tranquility; the "metalcorists" out of Massachusetts such as Unearth, Killswitch, Shadows Fall, and All That Remains; many bands of the so-called NWOAHM such as Lamb of God, As I Lay Dying, God Forbid; and the hybrids such as Byzantine. The bottom line is that even by modern metal standards, Endgame and its predecessor Abominations are average releases at best. They represent technically impressive execution, but in the end reveal unfocused and formulaic song writing that would never get such rave reviews if not for the name Megadeth.

HEAVY-----Real F'in Heavy !!!.....I like it Dave & Crew------get your asses to Dallas and melt the walls !!! Cool lyrics.... and guitar,drums,& bass is unmistakable MEGADETH. LOVE YALL.
Like the Lizard King would have said,"Pretty neat,pretty neat";if only Dave could sing like that.I will purchase it for"Endgame","The Right To Go Insane",& the other songs.I don't know if I can listen to"The Hardest Part of Letting Go"again;it's sad,so very sad."How the Story Ends",IMO,sounds like the most'Grammy-friendly' song,although I'm NOT making any lofty predictions here;just an educated guess.The Instumental would be my second choice in this pipe dream;it does sound like it's going in a jazz-fusion direction(isn't that what Megadeth's original concept was?)Now I'm going off on a tangent-My prayers & the Best of Good Luck & Good Fortune to you,fellas.
just went through all the songs and i have to say most of them kick ass!chorus,dont know what that dudes talking about,this is fuckin metal,go listen to nickleback you pansy and to the kid who said metallica is bigger,that may be true, but megadeth never sold out.I like the new metallica,but it should have came out after" In justice for all"not 20 years later.Megadeth always stayed true to metal and this cd still proves that
listened to about half of the new megadeth and sorry to say i did not like it. i have peace sells, holy wars and countdown and in my opinion this one doesn't compare to any of them. it just does not have them same rawness. it just sounds like a generic megadeth. great musicianship but nothing that stands out and grabs you.
Man this album rocks. I think Megadeth has found the new swagger. Of course I don't think any album they have done have been bad, just some have been a lot better then others. Is this another Rust in Peace? Don't think so, but I think it stands on its own. Great freaking album!!
