In the middle there is the desire to expand just what it is that this band is and could be, and that is perfectly fine. Over there, you have the hard rock fans that kinda dug some tracks from Risk, bucking the fashionable hate that the album gets (and a couple of its songs deserve). Over here you have a couple of thrashy crashers for the old fans and those that got into the previous Th13teen, or however the hell it is spelled. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no plot at all for Super Collider, the band’s latest. But to my point, each of these albums had a specific vision or goal in mind and the work didn’t lose the plot.

Each record has a singular personality about it and the band sticks to it and creates something that feels consistent from start to finish.Ĭonsistency does not mean repetition, and I would have had no desire to listen to the same thrash and bash copy-catted through a 45-to-60 minute span. That would be Rust In Peace, the potent (and unjustly derided “sell-out”) Countdown To Extinction, and the no-bones-about-it rock of Cryptic Writings. Cohesion, it seems, is what was most evident on the band’s three best records (three best in my opinion, perhaps). At this point we can stop arguing (if there actually ever was an argument about it) that Megadeth is Dave Mustaine, Dave Mustaine is Megadeth, and there’s no other guiding principle beyond that certainly not cohesion.
