http://system.megadeth.com/ This actually sounds like the Megadeth I used to love! Don't know what the rest will sound like but this is a pretty good start, and much better than the crapfest they've put out the last few years.
Does it count as irony that I paused Angra to check out the new Megadeth tune? Damn, unexpected result. I actually like that song. That's not happened for me since the 90s.
Getting good Endgame vibes from this. Hopefully Mustaine learned his lesson from the last two albums and makes whatever this one's called a strong one.
So much of waiting for the title, and there even was a contest, and they came up with the same title as the last Iced Earth album?
There seems to be a pattern here. Mustaine fires his band. Hires new members. New lineup builds a fire under his ass. Writes killer riffs and puts out great new disc. Slowly drifts off course. Rinse and repeat.

Strong whiff of RIP era on this latest song. Man the riffs are awesome. This is the best of the three songs released. Only thing I notice is how clean the album sounds and not very heavy at all. Not much bottom end at all. I think this album is going to be really good anyway. Not long now..!
I really liked the first song, the next 2 - not so much. I will admit it's still better then their last couple.
