MegaDave to call it a day

[Eoin McLove]

Enjoyable for what it is, but five minutes after its release who will ever think of reaching for it over the classics. The lyrics are bad and the vocal delivery is so... senior?!

[Bürggermeister]

Fucking awful. A load of solos trying to distract you from how weak the song is. The snare and rhythm guitar sounds are surprisingly bad, too. Sounds like a modeller was used for the guitar but there are great sounding modellers out there, it's a harsh and dry sound, I wonder are Dave's ears as fucked as his voice. Ditto for the snare, he has used triggered samples since at least Drover's time in the band, they've gone with a really flat sounding sample. Fuck all depth to the sound, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Then there are those lyrics 🤣

[The Butcher]

Ah the riff reminds me of this song off System. Similar starting notes anyway - albeit now a faster, more thrashier version!

[Carnage]

Sounds like a demo, really poor across the board. This is shaping up to be their worst album yet, and that's saying something.

[Pagan Saviour]

Jesus. Goodnight Dave.


Worse and worse. They've released some abysmal stuff since System.

[Floss]

Its terrible really, and sad to see how he thinks this is good enough quality to be released as a Megadeth song. Dystopia was solid, but all the other modern stuff is pretty derivative. The last one had its moments but nothing memorable really.

It's a far cry from their glory days, but I still like it.

[Giggles]

Looks like he's having fun anyway!

Let There Be Shit

[Don Gately]

Done

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

 

[Mooncat]

I quite liked it actually. The intro riff is cool, it's a shame they never take full advantage of it again through the rest of the song.

The first half of the solo is just a reworking of the Tornado of Souls solo, but it sounds good.

The lyrics and vocals are a contender for the worst I've ever heard from Megadeth.

Disposable but enjoyable.

[Bürggermeister]

There's no way this Ride The Lightning cover will be anything other than a total catastrophe. I simply cannot fucking wait to hear it

Listening to the latest song again, I'm absolutely convinced he used chatgpt for those lyrics
