...Its here... well its been leaked and i've listened to it. I'm quite impressed actually. The production is good. Very tight and Mustaine seems to be playing better than ever before. Whether it will be a hit like United Abominations i don't know. We'll see I guess. its all on youtube so have a listen

Having listened to it a couple of times now, I can't see me buying this, the songs lack something, not sure what, but it lacks!

Agreed Joe, the production is killer

lol Pete.
I can see what Matty is saying. They somewhat follow a formula and there doesn't seem to be much... uhm... difference between each song. The whole verse, chorus, verse, massive shred solo, verse, end, basically. It depends what you are looking for out the album lol. I don't think it'll get much airtime though. It definitely isn't as good as United Abominations.

Ive played it again, its just "metal by numbers" for me! - nothing catchy about it - boring chorus, no groove to the riffs, too much twiddly, twiddly from Broderick, bring back Marty!!!!!!

Ive said what I feel, but I won't diss Dave too much, he's recorded some killer tunes in the past

OK, been listening to it again myself and I've grown on 44 Minutes and the opening Instrumental. Some of it I don't think is Megadeth at their best, but some of it is growing on me. It is definitely better than 'The World Needs a Hero'. I wouldn't class it in the same league as Rust in Peace or Peace Sells, but it has something at least. When you listen to 1,320 you'd think it had just been taken from Killing is my Business.

It aint doin "jack" for me,... but after buying Lamb Of God's "Wrath" album this was always gonna come a poor second
