Megadeth - Album Release Date Revealed


Megadeth have made it official: their 13th studio album, cleverly titled TH1RT3EN, will be released on November 1st, 2011.

Says singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine: "This record is the culmination of my work over the 13 records I recorded. There are moments on TH1RT3EN that capture my every emotion, and other moments where I am releasing feelings I never knew existed! My proudest moments of my musical career are captured on TH1RT3EN."

TH1RT3EN also marks the recorded return of bassist Dave Ellefson, who was part of the band's classic lineup from 1983 to 2002. This is the first time Ellefson has played on a Megadeth record since 2002's Rude Awakening.



In other news, a countdown has been launched on Megadeth's official website to a mystery announcement that will be made on Wednesday, September 7 at 9:00 a.m. EST / 6:00 a.m. PST.

My first thought exactly.

Can't wait for this album though! Happy for it to be released on the 1st instead of the 13th in that regard.

The only release of theirs that I liked was Youthanasia. That seemed to be the most un-megadethish. Whoa...guess I just don't like megadeth.

I was thinking maybe they should put it off until Dethchamber 13th 2013.
Not my most anticipated album anyway.

I have a feeling this might just be the best of their post-breakup albums... well, one can hope at least.

I'm quite skeptical about the title, but oh well, that's the music that matters the most.

No. If anything should have brought it forward to at least October or September 13th

I'm looking forward to it, as Endgame was a good step in the right direction after United Abominations (but like UA, not quite hitting the mark even if miles better), but it's got a lot of competition from newer bands such as Evile, Warbringer, Machine Head and Mastodon amongst others in my list of anticipated albums. I'm stupidly stoked for Anthrax's new album too, so TH1RT3EN certainly has its work cut out for it to make an impression and have a healthy spin-cycle.

Same day as MetalLouca. Poor Dave, 13 won't sell half as much as Lulu. Yes, the new Metallica/Lou Reed album is called Lulu.

Give me a break. Like you and your band could do any better after decades of thrashing. Sure, sure... album titles and artwork are the most important aspect of what a band does. WTF??!! Megadeth is still relevant, and even after Metallica sold out, musically and to its own fans, Dave is still kicking ass. Don't like the album title? Go drown yourself in a bottle of cheap grain alcohol you twats and let the music speak for itself.

So in North America, November 1st means a release day for both the Megadeth's and (Lou)Metallica's ones.

haha yeah, except one will rock and one people are laughing at. And besides the Metallica "record" is basically a Lou Reed record

Which will be extremely ironic to me, thats my mom's birthday who died Dec 13, 2010. Megadeth was one of her favorite bands.

Load > Cryptic Writings
St. Anger > Risk
Death Magnetic > Endgame

In my opinion of course.

In my opinion of course.

While I admit Death Magnetic to be a step in the right direction musically, I still can't stomach Hetfield's generic vocal stylings on every album. Opinions are just that, and you are of course entitled to yours, but here on Metalstorm we can take a look at the ratings to get a good idea of what consensus says about an album.
Thus:
Cryptic Writings (7.6) > Load (6.4)
Risk (5.5) > St. Anger (4.1)
Endgame (8.3) > DM (7.5)

Regardless of ratings, my previous point was that we should wait to actually hear the album before knocking it.
Cheers!

Should be released on the 13th instead. And I bet the anouncement will be that Megadeth is disbanding/Mustain is retiring.

I don't think someone that heard "the view" will buy LULU
