Megadeth was not a melodic metal band. It had really sharp edge on every single riff that Mustaine made at the beginning. He called it "Intellectual Thrash Metal". Then, Mustaine developed his skill as a singer, and the band sound started becoming more mellow. Mustaine returned with a great album. It was the most melodious album, in my opinion, in their career. Once again, he proved himself that he was the great riff master and melody maker.

Track 1 reminded me of their early era. He showed the world that he has not edge。In addition to that, the flow from track 1 to 2 is amazing! Even though you are not a Megadeth fan, you would love track 2 unless you hate heavy metal in general. Because the first 3 songs have such strong impact, you may not be as attracted to other songs, but this album's overall quality compares favorably with other albums. This album has the universal appeal to all kinds of metal fans.
