Megadeth are my favourite of the big 4, nobody attacks the guitar the way mustaine did, like that loved to deth riff straight out of the blocks is insane, I enjoy a lot of their water catalogue too, endgame particular, the venom was well gone but plenty of interesting stuff

Endgame is shit. Youthanasia or Cryptic are the hard stops.

Different strokes i think cryptic is shit

I liked Endgame when it came out

They played Cork a few months after it was released, & played nothing off it ffs!

Big clue there!!!!

They play nothing from System, UA, Endgame 13 Supercollider you might get one apiece from Dystopia or Sick these days


With Cryptic writings, she wolf is a different animal live, but ive no time for trust which is a bit of a staple, id time my piss break with it been played

Make no mistake Cryptic is full of duds. For me it's end of an era and end of the classic line up. There's a handful of great tracks on it.

It's better to just to pretend they died in a plane crash after Countdown, makes it easier to stop lying to yourself that there's anything of worth on a long run of totally shit albums.

Hope the pilot and cabin crew survived.

i do like a couple of songs on Cryptic, but Youthanasia is their last great album.


30 second clip of a new track up on their Instagram sounds god awful. But more strikingly can't get over how poorly auld Dave looks.

Bit of an odd clip to use musically given barely anything interesting is happening. Is it because they wanted to show off the terrible, cheap CGI? Or maybe it's even AI. Sounds pretty Megadeth by numbers either way.

No doubt "return to form" will be heavily utilised in the reviews.

Oh yeah "the best since rust..."
