Megadeth was always meant to be a groove/oshm band and you can’t change my mind. While this album isn’t as good as RIP, it feels much more natural and fitting. Dave’s vocals are actually pretty damn good, the riffs are sick, Marty Friedman is here and everything is working great together. This album is basically Ghost but better, to put in a mixer lense.

I’ve never really dove deep into Grunge before, but this is still some of the most boring and predictable stuff I’ve heard in the genre. Also, who thought this was a good idea? Thrash Metal going full on Nirvana is such a strange thought, but I guess it paid off. I hate the existence of this album, but the music really ain’t that bad. If you ignore that this is the same band that made Among The Living, it’s probably much better.
