![]() ARTIST: Megadeth ALBUM: Super Collider LABEL: Tradecraft via Universal RELEASE DATE: June 4. Covering Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat unexpectedly closes proceedings, its rousing feel offering something much of the record doesn't – a sense of fun. Megadeth: Super Collider, Album Review - RUKUS magazine. Countrified/Southern rock-infused The Blackest Crow's slide guitar and strings are oddly effective Judas Priest-fuelled Don't Turn Your Back is a winner, highlighted by axeman Chris Broderick's stunning solo. While largely unremarkable, there are positives about Super Collider, tacky artwork aside. Grizzled metal-heads will snort in derision at Disturbed main-man David Draiman's guest appearances, which prove rather forgettable at best. Super Collider is the fourteenth studio album from Megadeth and is a 2013 outing that essentially mixes elements of all of their past albums. It's as cringeworthy as witnessing your drunken uncle dancing at a family reunion. The frontman's voice has understandably waned since passing 50, but even bile-spitting Peace Sells…-era MegaDave couldn't rescue lyrics like “ Burn baby burn, because it feels so good,” or otherwise enjoyable speed-metaller Built For War's cheesiness. The concise, mid-tempo yet flat and borderline embarrassing title track channels radio-baiting career low-point, Risk. ![]() One, its nowhere near as bad as the first wave of critics have tomahawked it. The pseudo-thrashy former is passable, but could have been lifted from middling United Abominations. Already the most controversial metal album of year, MEGADETHs 14th hike 'Super Collider' evokes two presiding emotions. ![]() It is a great pleasure to listen to this album from beginning to end. Opening songs ( Kingmaker, title track) don't exactly set the world afire. We fans are so fortunate to be able to have yet another masterpiece from Megadeth. Instead, it often moves at a pedestrian, even tepid hard rock pace. And while this is bad, its more boring than anything. Album number 14 rarely goes for the jugular. Im actually kinda disappointed, I was looking forward to something incredibly bad.
