Sep 4, 2022Dave sounds as worse as ever on this extremely lackluster entry in the band’s legendary catalog. Six years for this?
-
Sep 2, 2022Thrash at its finest! A slight improvement over the awesome Dystopia. Tight, fast & unapologetic... just like we'd expect from Dave. Favorite track: Dogs of Chernobyl
Weakest track: Mission to Mars -

Sep 27, 2022Was this brand of metal ever designed to be this safe—especially in a climate where the music’s apocalyptic scenarios have come to life? For better or worse, The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! reveals its charms more the more you ignore that question.

Sep 2, 2022It's a tense and impatient record, even by Megadeth's standards, and re-affirms the band's status as completely essential metal deities who are still operating on a level of excellence most of their peers fell from decades ago.

Classic Rock MagazineSep 1, 2022Occasionally things are wide of the mark, such as with the ponderous Junkie, but that's mostly an anomaly in a record full of snarky, sneering metal that has the punky energy of a new band on the block. [Sep 2022, p.77]
