Apr 19, 2015Don't let the low ratings fool you, this is a solid rock album that is quite nice to listen to from time to time. In fact it disgusts me just how low it is one this site just because it doesn't sound like a generic sounding 80's album.

Oct 21, 2013Super Collider is a very mature work from Mustaine & Co. Of course this is not a record for headbanging but it has very powerful songs. In my opinion the best work of Megadeth in years.

Jul 30, 2013Supercollider is a strong album with obvious signs of classic influences, especially Led Zeppelin. It is not a particularly fast album when compared to some in the Megadeth catalog, but is filled with good hooks, many great riffs, and versatile musicianship which transcends genres at times. It is Megadeth and it is Metal

Mar 16, 2017It was bad, but not THAT bad. Other than the title track, the songs were generally fine (although Burn! was only deemed "fine" because the intro was good). The lyrics were terrible, but the riffs were still good and most of the songs sounded decent if you don't know the lyrics. Megadeth's worst album, probably, but not awful.

Nov 19, 2016This is a nice album if you forgot about existing of other Megadeth albums. Definitely it's a worst Megadeth album but still it's worth listening to it. Dance in the Rain, Kingmaker, Forget to Remember, Don't Turn Your Back... are really good songs. The cover of Thin Lizzy classic Cold Sweat is on point too.

Apr 11, 2018The most meh album released by Megadeth but it's still not the worst album by them. I don't mind radio rock but the mid-tempo blandness gets boring after like 3 songs.

Mar 23, 2019The only standout song, at least IMO, is Kingmaker. Everything else lacks the Megadeth sound we all know and love. It's almost like listening to Risk again. I appreciate trying new things but it just doesn't work for Megadeth.

Sep 2, 2014Such an uninspired album. It was really lacking creativity. A huge letdown for me considering that Megadeth's previous albums were actually decent. "Super Collider" is one of the worst (Risk) Megadeth albums if not the worst one.

Jul 24, 2013This record makes Risk look like Rust in Peace. This should be destroyed and forgotten. This is like if Aerosmith was nuked, and they all died, and they tried to make a record after, but they were dead so it was complete The title track convinced me to slice my hand off with a machete, but I don't have a machete.

Apr 22, 2014Truthfully, Super Collider is just a Megadeth album born of complacency and issued with only the faintest interest in remaining relevant.
