Music Review: Megadeth - United Abominations - Comments Page 2

Megadeth turn in their best record since "so Far, So Good... So What!"

    Who the fuck are any of you too put Dave Mustaine down. You go out, write countless albums, become as successful as him, then possibly, your opinion would matter. If not then shut the fuck up. RIP was a one of a kind album, I have read quotes stating that he could follow that album and write new albums along the same lines, but he chooses not to. So grow up, and just enjoy Megadeth kicking ass and taking names, and don't bring Metallica up in here.

    A good album indeed. Dave is GOD OF RHYTHM....EXCELLENT COMPOSING SKILL...I really love one Phrygian feel solo phase from sleepwalker and another one from you're dead.

    I really do not understand this new album, it seems that Mustaine the stolen the sound of Iron Maiden from the A brave mew world album, combined with the sound of risk, it is not a trash album at all, it is a good album anyway, i understand that everybody who likes heavy metal needs more classics than any other genre, but this is not the case, finaly have to say that youthanasia is a classic, it is not as fast as many of you wantes to be, but just pay attention to the music...

    United abominations was really good, don't get me wrong, but slightly derivative...though to be honest I prefer it that way! many bands change with time, mustaine has held steady no matter what the circumstances.
    There are more solos from both guitarists, though admittedly I prefer Mustaine's, Friedman's, Poland's and Broderick's earlier solos over Glen Drover's, as good a guitarist as he is. Too many political themes and talking rather than singing for me, but a good album anyway.
