Sep 3, 2022Eh, it was okay. I understand that the band could've tried to mix some of their late 90's stuff with modern thrash metal, but it came out as a rarely satisfying record with perhaps few songs actually being competent enough.

Q MagazineDec 22, 2011Basically, it's a Megadeth album; no more, no less, no change. [Jan 2012, p.124]

Nov 11, 2011In between standout tracks like Public Enemy No. 1, Never Dead and Fast Lane is less remarkable filler, and Mustaine's socially conscious lyrics are sometimes cringe-worthy. But his snarling vocals and guitar work never get old, and the production has a warmer, more vintage feel than steely recent albums.
