While each of the top ten metal bands were trending toward more commercially marketable music and thrash was heading back underground around 1995, the typically unsophisticated pop-culture drifted a few more emo-steps toward "grunge" because they couldn't comprehend the complexity of the superior musicianship that thrash presented without apologizing for embarrassing glam and sleaze metal.
It was sad, but inevitable that the sweater-wearing sheep and the whiny, crybaby twits who still pine for the dead New Wave, would ride the upward trend as more people discovered thrash metal, and then fall off the speeding train in favor of dull three cord rhythms and no capacity for shredding solos. With respect to Alice in Chains and Sound Garden, and MAYBE one or two others, the sleeveless flannel crowd killed metal's sub-genres along with itself.
And then . . . we all grew up, recognized we weren't going to head-bang for a living, got jobs, had kids, and grandchildren. Who are looking back to discover the genius of the music of the 80s and 90s. So we revisit with nostalgia.
I tried to keep up with my favorite bands over the years. Some band members passed away. Some ascended while doing so (we still love you, Abbott brothers). Some just jumped into one of the other top ten. Some moved on to other, weirder chapters (not complaining, Marti. God bless). But all the greats seemed to lose something, an edge, a muse, a vocal range. Even the greatest of them all, Megadeth - whose album releases still compare favorably to any contemporary releases.
Just as I had resigned to accept that the truly great thrash metal was buried in the past and the prophetic rust had forced us into a peace we wouldn't buy, Dave and the boys give us "The Sick, The Dying . . . and The Dead."
I was able to avoid any early critiques or promotional hype before listening. I've been only twice through the whole album, but I knew from the first time. This is the best Megadeth album since Countdown To Extinction. It's better than Youthanasia, which I loved in spite of myself, by the way. It's as creative as Countdown and even faster in tempo than Rust in Peace. And the sound quality blows away anything earlier.
What I can't compare is the lyricism, but Dave has never really stumbled much there. Vocally, though! Vocally, I was truly surprised. Mr. Mustaine put the work in, prepared himself, conditioned himself like an athlete, and it shows. Maybe age catches up with us all and we might not have the strength or flexibility of our youth, but Dave clearly was not willing to phone it in just to get another album on the shelf. He really sounds good.
If you are like me, and have been wishing for proof that thrash has grown, evolved, developed, and can still be true to the teeth grinding angry snarls that gave metal an authenticity beyond the teased up girl hairspray and droopy emo unwashed pretension of the ages prior, you're going to love this album.
Dave Mustaine and Megadeth have reached heights heretofore thought unreachable ever again. There is a validation of the entire thrash metal genre here that the greatness was not a 10 year underground flash in the pan that only was great as long as it wasn't popular. It was a lasting brilliance that can be revived with determination and resolve.
All I can say to them is, Thank you!
Musically this is a perfect blend of late’80’s era thrash and the power metal (with fast double bass drum rhythms) that characterizes ‘90’s era power metal. This is likely not accidental as the venerable Dave Mustaine – recently recovered from throat cancer – anchors the music close to Megadeth roots, but Kiko Loureiro (Angra) on guitars brings in that power metal vibe as he co-writes on 8 of the 12 tracks. Add to this the massive extreme metal drumming of Dirk Verbeuren (ex-Soilwork) – who amps the dynamic drumming on Dystopia (courtesy Chris Adler) to yet another level up here. And while James LoMenzo (White Lion/Black Label Society) will be the touring bassist, Steve DiGeorgio lays down the studio bass tracks.
Additionally, multiple tracks credit Brandon Ray (vocals), Eric Darken (percussion) and Roger Lima (keys/effects). There is even a guest appearance by Ice-T! on “Night Stalkers” – one of the most brutal tracks on the record.
The guitars on these songs are fast, staccato and stinking heavy, and Verbeuren totally shreds on the drums, incorporating tons of rhythmic punctuations (“Psychotherapy,” Life in Hell”) in addition to the relentless pummeling double bass. “Dogs of Chernobyl” and “Mission to Mars” incorporate cinematic effects in a way we have not heard from Mustaine in many, many years – both songs musically dynamic with informative/entertaining narratives.
“Soldier On!” is an anthemic number, a metaphorical call to stand up against evil and brace for the onslaught, to be brave in the face of death.
Most fans have already heard the singles “Killing Time” and “We’ll Be Back” – this latter track a thrash frenzy that matches the quality and intensity of Metallica’s “Damage, Inc” and “Battery.” Intentional perhaps? Regardless, just killer!
The title track takes a historical journey yet somehow reflects our recent struggles as well, this one of the more distinctive songs on the album with its guitar build-up and more laid-back vibe.
The end result of all the great songwriting, collaborative performances, special effects, and visceral lyrical outpouring is a monster of an album, replete with production sheen and sound effects/voice effects. In that regard, this just feels like a massive Countdown to Extinction type record, maybe more something between United Abominations and that one in scope and execution.
The sound quality is superb, clean yet aggressive and vintage Megadeth. Just can’t imagine much here fans wouldn’t enjoy. Mustaine’s voice does show the wear of time and treatments but honestly, it just adds all the more credibility to the good vs. evil, exploration of the dark side of man themes that permeate the Megadeth legacy.
The 24-page CD booklet has all the lyrics in credits with artwork to boot. Dystopia was and remains a very solid album, but I think this one – factoring in the songwriting, sound and lyrical acumen - is the best since Extinction.
