Megadeth supercollider track listing4/30/2023 Loureiro, in my opinion hasn’t really shone on this album, and part of me wonders if Mustaine had taken over the solos would it perhaps have a different sound, more signature to Mustaine’s volatile style? Poisonous Shadows strikes me as an easy-listening, non-offensive track that you could have in the background of a dinner with your grandma.Ĭhris Adler, on the other hand, is seamlessly integrated into the band, with his aggressive Lamb of God style being a brilliant addition into revamping the energy into Megadeth. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t possess as many of the hooks that Megadeth used to be so good at, something which is becoming more and more apparent with each Megadeth release. On this 11-track album, although vocally brilliant from Mustaine, and excellently supported by Ellefson and Adler, the lead guitar doesn’t really speak to me as much as Megadeth’s earlier work. Much like Slayer bringing their old-school sound with their release of Repentless last year, Megadeth have gone back to what they’re good at and deliver a near-on perfect album of windmill-inducing, balls-to-the-wall thrash. ![]() 30 years and 15 albums on, there is a strong feeling that Megadeth have still got ‘it’. There feels like a lot more anger and politics are being channelled through this album, with the band perfectly delivering this feeling through well-timed solos and choppy riffs that only Megadave knows how to write. Mustaine has a different sound to his usual performances on other works – slightly gruffer, with an older, more refined sound. He sticks to within his limits and delivers an amazing studio performance, with a much heavier sound when compared to their recent albums. The title track is masterfully put together, seeming like Mustaine has learned that his vocal range isn’t what it used to be. With soft female vocals transcending into classic Megadeth’s fast, choppy riffs, I was instantly looking forward to sitting down to listen to this album. Dystopia starts very differently to any of Megadeth’s other albums. this is also the first album to be released on Dave Mustaines new label, tradecraft.Now,its important to note. ![]() Super Collider is megadeths most recent effort,and the beggining of a new partnership with Universal Music, since leaving roadrunner records. Chris Adler, drummer of Lamb of God absolutely shines on this album with Brazilian prodigy Pedro Henrique “Kiko” Loureiro of Angra stepping up to the guitarist role. Super Collider is megadeths most recent effort,and the beggining of a new partnership with Universal Music, since leaving roadrunner records. Mustaine and Ellefson made some wise decisions when choosing their new members for the latest lineup. You will know what I mean when I say that old Megadeth are back, and it feels like it’s been so long since we heard them. Would I have to fight to find the good points to balance out the bad? Thankfully, THANKFULLY not. Half the band had left in the last year, leaving Ellefson and Mustaine with what looked like nothing to continue the legacy that is Megadeth. This left me wary as I sat at my desk ready to hear the latest offering from Megadeth. Let’s not pretend – Super Collider and Thirteen were…questionable at best. It will be interesting to see how Super Collider is received by the fans, but for this one despite my initial reservations I really don't mind this new album from Megadeth.
