Megadeth - Th1rt3eN

[RelentlessOblivion]

The latest release by Megadeth is not what it should be, whilst it is a good album, fairly solid all the way through one just gets the impression that it was forced just a little bit. There are some good songs on the album, Never Dead being the stand out, but those who bought the Youthanasia album may remember Millenium Of The Blind and New World Order. All in all the album fails to live up to expectations created by the previous Megadeth release "Endgame". Th1rt3eN lacks both the aggression and speed that made Endgame such a great album, Mustaine and the others really dropped the ball on this one and it is easily one of the weaker Megadeth releases. The album simply fails to impress and appears outright fragile in places. A 2.5/5 from this very disappointed Megadeth fan

Re: Megadeth - Th1rt3eN I've listened to a handful of songs and was pleasantly surprised. It was better than I thought it would be. I'm definitely going to get this soon!

Re: Megadeth - Th1rt3eN there are some good tracks on there, Never Dead is great, so is Sudden Death but that had already been released so not exactly new, and they recycle two tracks from Youthanasia (New World Order and Millenium Of The Blind), but in my opinion the overall album is quite weak

Re: Megadeth - Th1rt3eN The record is pretty much throw away. I wrote a review months back. I'll post it up if there's any interest.

Re: Megadeth - Th1rt3eN that;s exactly what I've been saying, the album has maybe three good songs on it but for the most part it's a let down

I thought it was all right. Nothing to knock their best albums off the shelf, but listenable. Could have benefited from improved production.

But when you recycle tracks....that shows you are struggling.

this was one of my earliest reviews and I really don't like it, my reviews have gotten so much better since this

[happybananas9]

personally i thought it was an okay album i agree not as good as endgame or even united abominations for that matter but still i think you might have been just a teeny bit harsh with your final rating i would have personally given it a 3.0 but i for the most part agree with your opinion

[deathstorm]

yea i kinda agree but the video with single car chasing monkeys was pretty damn funny

[RelentlessOblivion]

if I were to review this album again I would give it a lower score because if I were to review Endgame again I would also give it a lower score. I think this album is among the worst Megadeth have released and that covers a lot of ground (like every album between Rust In Peace and United Abominations for example) it is atrocious having only one song not released previously which is actually worth hearing, that being Never Dead, coupled with Sudden Death you have what could and should have been a kickass single but the rest of the album is worse then just filler it's utter garbage and sadly the band have decided it would be a good idea to visit the dump where Th1rt3eN came from and look for even more vile, rancid, filth. This band should have called it quits with Endgame at least then they could retire with a shred of dignity.

Sorry, but it is simply not possible for Megadeth to release an album worse than Risk. I haven't heard Th1rt3en, but I don't need to in order to assert that it kicks the shit out of that terrible album.

[RelentlessOblivion]

someone really needs to put on their reading glasses "I think this album is AMONG the worst Megadeth have ever released" key word there is among as if capitalising it wasn't a clear enough message. There is no album any band on the face of this or any other planet could ever release which would come close to the aural abortion known as risk. Whatever Dave was on whilst making that album the smartest thing he ever did in his entire life was get off it, now he needs to start drinking heavily and doing insane amounts of heroin again then maybe he'll record an album that can hold a candle to Rust In Peace

Not even Cryptic Writings is close to Risk, so among the worst is still relative to not being as bad as that piece of shit. There are just some albums, like Cold Lake, St. Anger, Risk, etc... that take suck to a previously unparalleled level, and even other failures that these bands may have had pale in comparison to them.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Th1rt3eN sounds like Cryptic Writings II so that should give a pretty good indication of the level of suck we're talking here

Re: Megadeth - Th1rt3eN but Risk is brilliant... x)

subtlety Dave? how unexpected
