God that album art is ugly. Looks like Dance of Death's younger brother that was given more attention. Otherwise, I am excited for the album's release

It's not THAT bad
Sure, Vic doesn't have a katana here, but I like the way he's dressed with leather coat, boots, rapier and pistol. The bodies on the ground look kind of dumb, but at least the buildings are burning in the background

Yeah, the concept for the art is cool but poorly executed. The lighting and shadowing is nonexistent and looks like a 2008 Xbox 360 game lmao.

Hehe you've got a point there

That font is ugly as fuck. But the first single sounded pretty damn good so I am eager to see how this turns out.

Is that a burning church in the background?

In my humble opinion, it is their best album after Rust In Peace.

I gotta hear that Sammy Hagar cover, if just for shits and giggles.

Meh
The guitars are great but the vocals kinda ruin it for me in this particular album

Vocals are really struggling on this one, holy shit

Wow this is really good!!! A grower for sure, don't rate it after the fisrt listen. Complex but catchy in the same time.

First listen - superb album.

Great album!!!

Very good album considering the place in their career. Iron Maiden wishes they sounded this energetic.

Good but… who’s buying, So Far… So What

It was hard to listen to it thoroughly. Maybe I was way too hyped about this release and my expectations fooled me, but after a third listen, I've still got a "no" for it.

Holy dammit Christmas this is far better than I expected it to be. Guitar game is on point per usual but fortunately Dave’s vocals aren’t nearly as bad as the singles indicated. The only real bad track is Psychopath/Killing Time, which is Megadeth at its most cringe. But songs like the title track, Dogs of Chernobyl and Mission To Mars make up for it. The covers are also fun, which is another plus.

My opinion will probably change in a few days or so but until then chalk another one up for Megadave.

I didn't think it would be this good.

The new album is almost perfect!

I'm surprised that Dave sounds as good as he does. Excellent album. A solid 8.

The only good thing about this album is Kiko's guitar playing, and this is coming from someone who loved their last few albums. (minus Super Collider).

Good album... enjoyed it very much in the morning

Is the title a reference to the status of Dave Mustain as a musician?

I like Mission to Mars and Kiko's guitar work overall.

That is all.

I was so hyped by the 3 first singles but...listened to the entire album today and fuck (wtf!?!l) what a médiocre album ! I'm a Megadeth fanboy but honestly I can't see anything enjoyable besides those 3 singles ! Overall sounds like the CW/TWNAH era besides ! Common uncle Dave, how you can release 3 awesome songs and fill the rest of your album with ok-ish songs at best !?!

It's a good album, not brilliant, but my expectations weren't set high to begin with, so at least I wasn't let down. The songwriting is not at their best but there's alot of decent guitar work. "The Dogs Of Chernobyl" is the standout track for me.

The guitar-work is good but nothing too special. I liked Dystopia a lot better than this. Mustaine's vocals are getting worse and worse. Just like with Iron Maiden, it's time to stop

I agree his vocals are pretty bad now. I've listened to this twice now and have no desire to listen to it again, that's not a good sign

Is it really that important to record another peace sells or rust in peace? I don't think so. Just appreciate the music and a solid album for a band thats around for such a long time

Really solid album with a few truly excellent moments like the opening of The Dogs Of Chernobyl and the entirety of Mission To Mars. Another pleasant surprise this week. This album won't have me on my knees thanking the metal gods like one would for Rust In Peace or Peace Sells... but I am winking at them, thankful that Megadeth are still around and crafting good metal.
