The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead!
7.7

Super Collider
5.5

Endgame
9.3
The best thrash record in years.

Gigantour 2
7.0
Today we will talk about the second opus of the Megadeth Gigantour. Recorded in 2006, this DVD features all the bands which have played with Megadeth during this amazing world tour. The DVD is not perfect and I will let you know why later but all in all...

The System Has Failed
8.5
