![]() One interesting surprise comes with the banjo-laden "The Blackest Crow", which might be my favorite song on the album. Some of the riffs are pretty sweet, and Dave can still write a catchy melody here and there. Of course, much of their playing here is very solid, especially Chris Broderick's solo work.Īnd in fairness, not everything about this album is bad. Dave's voice really sounds shot here, as he barely bothers to do more than speak in his low voice through most of the record.Īs for the other members, it feels as if they've become resigned to their roles as "hired hands" – as Dave condescendingly calls them – unable to challenge the project-leader in any meaningful way (hmm, what does that remind me of?). I don't mind Megadeth going poppy ( Cryptic Writings was awesome) but for God's sake, the title-track sounds like a Nissan commercial! And yet again, with "Burn!", Dave tries to go the bad-ass, danger-boy route like he did with "Fast Lane" and "Moto-psycho", songs you might remember…for being two of the worst, cringe-inducing Megadeth songs ever. But no, in almost every case, the music devolves into a bland soup of mid-tempo Mega-mush. Songs like "Burn!", and "Built for War" all start out very promising, as if we're about to hear a solid, late-era Megadeth song like "Headcrusher", "Sleepwalker", or "Sudden Death". ![]() ![]() Perhaps the worst thing about Super Collider is how much of a tease it can be.
