20.02.2008 - 08:33 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 20.02.2008 at 08:30 Ah yes, the opinion card trumps all. I just dont like being told why I dont like an album (for example, the post above, being accused of not liking an album because the band changed there sound) them having a different sound has got nothing to do with why I really dislike those 2 albums.

UA just sounds fucking tired. The songs don't really go anywhere and some of the choruses sound like Dave gave up on the songwriting. It's quite disappointing considering how awesome Sleepwalker is.

Sleepwalker, Washington Is Next!, Gears of War, Á Tout Le Monde and United Abominations are great songs, the two first some of the best I've heard from this band. The rest from UA is pure shit though, some of the worst I've heard from Mustaine. Their last show here in Stockholm was great, I had so much fun and they played a lot of classics!

I am still baffled to see many people claim that A Tout Le Monde is a great song. Okay the original version was decent but this new version is atrocious at best.

The old version is the best but both ones are great! Especially live with the crowd singing.

Holland's FaceCulture recently conducted an interview with Dave Mustaine about the group's latest album, "United Abominations", new guitarist,.... You can watch the interview in four parts at this location (at the bottom of the page).

how come the song "Hangar 18" intro has a chord progression which is 100% the third clean riff from Metallica's Call of Cthulhu? did Dave participate in writing Call?

Well, it would seem that the only complaints towards UN are motsly "Whaa Whaa piss piss this song sucks, moan whine piss poor guitars, cry wank whine bad songwriting" and the ultimately useless "Thats your opinion" trump card. So without any real complaints or any legitimate argument whatsoever, I hereby declare United Abominations the best album Megadeth have released in over 20 years and a deserving milestone in there catalog along with Peace Sells, Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction. This albums rules and all you pitiful nay-sayers can eat my cornhole. HA! HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Account deleted Written by Doc G. on 11.03.2008 at 21:08 Thanks for the compliment...I geuss. But you have to understand my frame of mind at the moment. I saw Megadeth live a month ago and I've just come off of two weeks worth of Peace Cells, Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction and United Abominations is still brilliant by comparison. Oh yes, I am very much convinced of my above post.

Just a theory maybe.

12.03.2008 - 07:14 Written by Doc G. on 12.03.2008 at 06:54 I can guarantee you that that theory can be flushed down the toilet, cause people like Collin & me also saw Megadeth perform those songs live and still think United Abominations is an abomination of an album (okay not as bad as Risk, but quite close because of the bore me to tears factor)

I liked UA. Its not as good as Peace Sells or Rust in Peace, but I think it deserves more credit than some people have given it. Its better than Risk and World Needs A Hero. Its good to see Megadeth making somewhat of a return to roots... They got their balls back, more than we can say about Metallica.

Well my only complaint about UA now is something Ive just noticed lately; some of the riffs seem a bit recycled.

I own United Abominations, and while it probably won't go ddown as a classic Megadeth album, I do think some of the songs on there are pretty badass. Especially Sleepwalker, Washington is Next!, and Never Walk Alone...A Call to Arms. Other than that (besides Gears of War, and Blessed Are the Dead) the album sucks. But 5 outta 8 isn't bad.....but it'snot that great either.......damn, I just realized I pretty much said what everyone else has said. What about So Far So Good So What? I think that it's Megadeth's most ounderrated album.

SFSGSW is pretty bad to me, aside from production. I mustve listened to it a couple dozen times and yet I still cant remember more than like 4 riffs from it.

Yeah the production does suck, but then again so Killing is My Buisness. SFSGSW has some great songs on i like Liar, Into the Lungs of Hell, and Set the World Afire. I really don't like Mary Jane, but that's the only song I don't like on there.

Funny you guys brought up SFSGSW, since I have listened to that album about 100 times over the last few weeks, and I'm quite convinced that it's an underrated masterpiece. Easily as good as Peace Sells and Rust in Piece, Hook In Mouth IMO is one of the most meaningful songs Dave has ever written, and In My Darkest Hour is perhaps the most emotional. I suggest buying the 2004 re-release of SFSGSW for those of you who hated the production of the original recording.
