Megadeth - Dystopia.
Having been a tad disappointed with 2009's
Endgame after the terrific
United Abominations this was the first
Megadeth cd i'd bought in what was 7 years looking back,
Th1rt3en and
Super Collider having passed me by. If anyone can recommend these two albums then please do so.
On first listen
Dystopia seems a return to form. Fast, state of the art speed metal played with a lot of technical ability as well as memorable songs. Opening track
The Threat is Real is a scorcher and will kill in the live arena, in fact the opening three track salvo is a real treat. The rest of the album i cannot judge as i've heard it only the one time except the final two songs -
The Emperor, which reminds me of earlier
Risk material, catchy and a little commercial, whereas final song
Foreign Policy comes across as practically hardcore by Megadeth standards.
An album i'm sure will get a lot of air time from me. Recommended.
