![]() Kick The Chair follows up, the other track that can most readily be associated with the sounds of RIP. Futhermore, the chorus lines are powerful and memorable, a nice reminder that Megadeth have the ability to create great mid tempo cuts just as they can create full throttle thrash masterpieces. With its mid tempo, melodic quality, this track is a great choice for the album’s first single. Die Dead Enough, the first single from this album, is next in line. This track also features some time changes and really impressive dual guitar solos that help make this track the most reminiscent of the RIP era that you hear on this album. A hard driving riff gets things going for what is perhaps the heaviest song on the album. The album kicks off on a heavy note with Blackmail the Universe. There are a couple of tracks that show flashes of RIP, but the majority of the album falls into a mold more reminiscent of Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia. This is still a great Megadeth album, worthy of the Megadeth name, and worthy addition to your collection, but don’t expect Rust In Peace 2. If you are amongst the fans hoping for the sequel to that classic album, prepare to be let down. There seems to be great anticipation that this album will be a “return to roots” album of sorts, harkening back to the band’s glory days of Rust in Peace. I have seen much buzz around the internet in anticipation of this album. Mustaine has brought back original guitarist Chris Poland back into the fold, at least for the studio recording of this album. After a brief “retirement,” Dave Mustaine has resurrected the Megadeth name and delivered a comeback album entitled The System Has Failed. ![]()
