│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Megadeth has established themselves as both the ║ │
│║ most consistent and the most stylistically mixed ║ │
│║ of the media dubbed Big Four. They've generally ║ │
│║ stuck to a regular niche of heaviness and ║ │
│║ melodic contour that sets them a slight bit ║ │
│║ closer to the speed metal and NWOBHM style that ║ │
│║ paved the way for thrash metal, barring a few ║ │
│║ token interludes into lighter fair that can be ║ │
│║ best described as modern, at least in context of ║ │
│║ when they were released. Naturally some albums ║ │
│║ have had a bit more thrashing brilliance going ║ │
│║ on, while others have shied away to a more mid- ║ │
│║ pace, grooving, and almost hard rocking demeanor ║ │
│║ at times, and they've shined brightest when ║ │
│║ sticking closer to the former category though ║ │
│║ they have generally pulled off the latter ║ │
│║ reasonably well. Their last couple studio albums ║ │
│║ following Endgame, however, saw the band ║ │
│║ backsliding into a dull and plodding rut that ║ │
│║ had not been seen since their creative nadir at ║ │
│║ the turn of the millennium, and it's been hoped ║ │
│║ for, if not expected that at some point things ║ │
│║ would need to be shaken up for Megadeth to get ║ │
│║ back on track. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The exit of the somewhat longstanding ║ │
│║ involvement of drummer Shawn Drover and lead ║ │
│║ guitarist Chris Broderick could definitely be ║ │
│║ counted as things getting a shakeup, and if ║ │
│║ their recently released single Fatal Illusion is ║ │
│║ a consistent representative of what will be ║ │
│║ Megadeth's upcoming LP Dystopia, it will have ║ │
│║ been a good one. Though featuring some odd ║ │
│║ characters in newly recruited guitar shredder ║ │
│║ Kiko Loureiro of Angra fame (though perhaps not ║ │
│║ so odd given he comes from a comparably non- ║ │
│║ thrash metal background as that of Marty ║ │
│║ Friedman) and guest drummer of Lamb Of God Chris ║ │
│║ Adler, it's pretty clear that this is Mustaine's ║ │
│║ ship and he's captaining it with the same ║ │
│║ stylistic trappings that underscored the better ║ │
│║ moments of Megadeth's recent history. This ║ │
│║ particular song is relatively short in scope, ║ │
│║ but loaded with off-the-cuff switches and flashy ║ │
│║ guitar work that partially hearkens back to the ║ │
│║ Rust In Peace days, bearing some similarity to ║ │
│║ "Holy Wars", but being a bit thicker and closer ║ │
│║ to the punchy, darker character of Endgame and ║ │
│║ some fancier bass work at a few key points. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the future is still a bit uncertain as to ║ │
│║ where Dystopia will fall, it's pretty well ║ │
│║ stipulated that Mustaine and company have moved ║ │
│║ back into the realm of politics and cynicism, ║ │
│║ which has generally been their forte as far as ║ │
│║ honing their sound into a medium where it is at ║ │
│║ its most effective. Mustaine's voice is a bit ║ │
│║ hoarse and haggard sounding, the same tricks are ║ │
│║ generally in play as far as the duality between ║ │
│║ Mustaine's own straight-forward shredding vs. a ║ │
│║ much more flashy and unconventional foil, and ║ │
│║ the songs gets off to something of a slow start ║ │
│║ with a recurring, down tempo chug that is almost ║ │
│║ as repetitive and simple as "March of the ║ │
│║ S.O.D.", but this is a really solid slab of up- ║ │
│║ tempo yet measured thrash metal that will ║ │
│║ definitely appeal to those seeking a return to ║ │
│║ earlier forms in Megadeth's sound. If things ║ │
│║ follow this course on the upcoming LP, Mustaine ║ │
│║ will have yet again prove who ultimately got the ║ │
│║ last laugh after his ejection from Metallica. ║ │
