It's got some cool riffs, and is probably the best solo track yet, but they've all been boring so far. It's like he comes up with a riff and says "I'll do this for 45 seconds" and repeats that process until the song is over. I really wanted to like it as I love Immortal but something is definitely missing from these songs.

To me, Megadeth has been unlistenable since Cryptic Writings (and I hated that album at first). They're listenable again! Most of the songs are at least decent if not good, and I actually like the Mega Man song. Not all of the songs really "work" as a whole but it's a big step up from all the poo poo over the past 15 years.

And Dave is getting closer and closer to Al Jourgensen kook levels, which should be annoying but it's oddly charming .

I really liked and still really like Pantera up through Trendkill. They were really aggressive and wrote some great songs, and Dimebag was a talented guitarist (he improvised the Cemetery Gates solo for example). I was listening to my brother's Death and Deicide tapes too but the vibe is very different and they both have their place. And hair metal had just died for gently caress's sake, before that you would be hearing Def Leppard and poo poo. That doesn't necessarily mean anything about their music, but they were popular and taken seriously back then. I don't know anything about five-finger death punch so I can't draw a parallel.

All that said, I probably listen to them every few years or so if that. Down, on the other hand, still gets in the rotation pretty often.

It's weird - anyone I've met IRL that likes metal likes at least some Pantera (regardless what they think of Phil or their fans) but the internet hates them, there's a big disconnect somewhere. Can someone point it out to me? (I already disagree with the low-effort statements like 'bad tone' 'boring' and 'ur gay' but if someone's willing to spell it out I'd be interested)

I probably would like Lamb of God if they came out when I was young and angsty :(

Listen to The Bleeding, it's the last one with Chris Barnes on it and my favorite.

My favorite too. I thought Vile was really boring - I didn't follow CC at all for like 15 years after that came out.

Awesome.

I saw Suffocation last night and they slayed! It was my first time ever seeing them. I didn't even know Kevin Talley was their current drummer, so that was a great surprise.

I thought Battlecross would be cheesy as hell, but they were only tongue-in-cheek cheesy and put on a great show - definitely seeing them again if they come around. All you fun-loving metal types should check them out.

I haven't kept up with Megadeth since Crypitc Writings. The track Dialetic Chaos off of Endgame is pretty good, reminds me of the intro tracks they used to do back in the Peace Sells/So Far era, but other than that nothing has really grabbed my attention. Reading through their Wiki page it sounds like they've been putting out at least halfway decent material pretty consistently with the odd stinker album here and there. Do any of their post-2000 releases stand out to fans of their 80s/90s stuff?

No. Dystopia was notable for not being terrible, but it still doesn't click like the older stuff and after listening to it once or twice I don't remember any of it and haven't had the desire to try to like it listen to it again.

When will bandcamp offer albums on 3.5 floppy discs, it's such a great format for metal!

Metal sounds best on my vintage 1990 Sony Walkman

I don't have a problem with tapes I just think it's funny that they're coming back.
