"Megadeth doesn’t hit the heights of the classic but is a reasonable attempt to reignite the lightning... It makes for a solid final album with a few great tracks and some filler."

"It was crude. It was inventive. It was awe inspiring. It was everything it needed to be and then some. This wasn’t Rammstein. This was fkn Till Lindemann. It may just be the greatest show you see all year. But if it isn’t? It’ll be one that you never forget."
