Megadeth: Super Collider



MEGADETH 
SUPER COLLIDER
   Firstly, lets make something clear. Megadeth released Peace Sells.... But Who's Buying?, in 1986. They released Rust In Peace, in 1990. Countdown To Extinction, was released in 1992. So why, in 2013, would Megadeth decide to release the same album again? Those three albums previously mentioned already exist, why would they try to release the same album over and over again? More importantly, why would anyone want them to? The answer is, no band who is aiming to remain relevant and please fans with fresh and invigorating albums, would churn out generic albums every few years. If you're a fan of Megadeth, you will certainly buy a copy of Super Collider, appreciate that it consists of a selection of brilliantly new and energising songs, and then listen and enjoy the new material. If you're a "Keyboard warrior", or a "online troll" then you will probably take to the internet to voice your opinion concerning Megadeth, Super Collider and Dave Mustaine. Realistically, Megadeth have been leading the world of Metal-Music and Thrash-Metal for the last three decades, released some of the best albums in the game and continue to provide Rattleheads with the essential level of snarling Thrash, that they so desperately need. Super Collider, will only strengthen Megadeth's legacy and prove a fan favorite. So to all the "haters", Megadeth have released fourteen albums and had an extremely successful career, that's a lot more impressive than most peoples accomplishments. 
   All the negativity aside, Megadeth have done it again. Super Collider is an epic display of mastery. Less aggressive and less focused on straight forward Thrash, Super Collider explores a wider range of styles, to create a memorable and unique selection of tracks. Title track Super Collider, and album opener Kingmaker, provide the heaviness and the infectious choruses. Cold Sweat, is an ambitious yet incredible performance of heavy riffs, angered snarling vocals, and a inescapable hint of Rock n Roll. Far more adventurous than other recent Megadeth releases, Super Collider is destined to meet tough scrutiny. 
   A guest appearance from Device and Disturbed front-man, David Draiman, makes for an interesting and exciting highlight. The songs themselves are amazing. Packed with diversity and variety, each song carries a distinct sound and individual presence on the album. Love it or hate it, this album delivers a brilliant dose of Metal and a bunch of fantastic songs. As much as fans pray for it not to be, if Super Collider was Megadeth's final album, it would be a worthy good-bye. 

9/10

    Thanks for the honest true and real comment you have made of the album that are not at all in anyway jumping the bandwagon of 'haters'. It's true what you said about why re-release similar type of album when they already existed. And it's true of their accomplishment that none of these internet trolls have bothered to acknowledge (but that is given of course as they are 'trolls' after all). I think the album still Metal with interesting riffs and great solos, yes it hasn't quite got the angst and agression that Megadeth is known for but what matters is: they hadn't sold out, they remain true to Metal and Mustaine and co delivered that. I like your fair, unbiased, honest review of the album, at last someone with a brain worthy to review this album.

      Thank you very much! I personally think that Super Collider is a enjoyable album. I also believe that if your going to write a review of an album, why waste the time if your just going insult someones work? If I find an album I'm not particularly keen on, I just don't review it, simple.

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
