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

    Megadeth are simply a little bit mid-paced, even monochromatic. [5 Nov 2011, p.51]

    In 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.
