Opinions on new Megadeth...

[jlc1587]

They put up a free song for download. What do you think about it? I think it's miles ahead of the last album.

EDIT: of course mustaines lyrics are still {censored}.

eh? could u tell me how to get how to get to sesame st?

[TornadoOfSouls]

I think Dave's voice ages extremely well. He's lost a lot of that mid-range in his voice and now it sounds a lot more pleasant and aggressive, though I'm a fan of his old stuff too.

Guitar tone is {censored}ing killer, the bass tone is {censored}ing amazing, the drums are meh.

I look forward to the album.

You can't be serious.

 

Dave's lyrics have always been full of meaning and great vocabulary.

 

I can see how a retard with a 5th grade vocabulary wouldn't like his lyrics.

Dude, I don't look at vocabulary status for lyrics. Great vocabulary in his lyrics! lol what a loser.

 

I thought he used to have good lyrics until the last album. And I don't think this song has good lyrics either.

 

I think it's about as corny as it gets. I can't even listen to the last album with anyone around because it's embarrassing. lol I remember my ex saying she was going to get out of the car if I didn't quit playing this cheesy music.

I figured you wouldn't, you're too much of a retard.

 

What was different about his last album besides a little bit of religious influence?

[dreamspace]

I don't give a {censored} about lyrics.

[Mavesicles]

I think Headcrusher sounds amazing. Easily the best since CtE.

Though I think I can hear some clipping at 2:00 where Mave is palm muting an open E. I hope they didn't brick wall it.

Retard? I'm not basing my opinion on someones lyrics by vocabulary. I don't down people who do like his stuff.

 

You are obviously not mature enough to discuss it or accept when someone doesn't like something as much as you do.

I'm not arguing with you over Mustaines lyrics. I'm not that much of a Megadeth nerd. There will be quite a few people who won't care for his lyrics either. It's really really really cheesy. "Head crusher" Yeah that sounds like something someone intelligent would come up with. It sounds like something one of those metal bands in parody movies would come up with to make them look metal as a joke.

I wasn't asking you too, I was just telling you most people don't enjoy lyrics that require thought.

 

I think the cover is cheesy though.

 

Then again he's like 50 years old and trying to appeal to younger kids.

 

Dave is way out of the loop.

 

That said, the only reason I responded to you was because I thought you were saying all of his lyrics suck. Which you can certainly believe if you'd like but you've already admitted that you like his previous ones, so I take back what I said.

 

I've got nothing against your opinion but his lyrics can be extremely interesting and full of interpretation.

 

My life's on time, But again my sense is late. Feel a mite unsteady, But still I have to play. Six to one's the odds, And, we have the highest stakes. And, once again I gamble with my very life today. Highly polished metal, The oil makes it gleam. Fill the terror chamber, Your mind begins to scream. Your life is like a trigger, Never trouble till you're squeezed. Now you crack a smile, As you give the gun a tease. Place the pistol down, Now give the gun a spin. Soon as the spinning stops, Oh no, the game starts in. A hateful way of vengeance, A bit of playful sin. Load another bullet, Now the second round begins. A couple grains of powder, A couple grams of lead. A touch against the trigger, A touch inside the head. Take another drink, and Raise the last bets. Think about my last words, They might be what I just said. A click comes from the hammer, That couldn't drive a nail. Sense the numbing cold blue, Or the red of Hades' grill. A fraction of a second, Do you lose, or maybe still, Pass it to the left, And collect your mighty kill. Add another bullet, The third round begins. Soon as the spinning stops, Oh no, the game starts in. Please, no I.O.U.'s, No markers for death. Does anybody play? Anybody, Somebody, anybody play. You, you, next victim, you next to die. You, you, next victim, you next to die. You, come on, next victim, your turn to die. You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.

 

I think those lyrics are killer.

 

A song about Russian Roulette? Count me in.

[Mavesicles]

Anybody who listens that hard to the lyrics is listening to a song for the wrong reasons.

He just comes across as corny on the last album and this one.

 

I like lyrics that take thought. It's just that he sounds more corny now and it used to not be that cheesy.

 

 

I like Washington is Next on the last album. Thought those lyrics were pretty cool.

I thought Blessed Are The Dead had super corny lyrics. I really dig that song though.

Washington is Next is pretty awesome too.

It's hard to write lyrics when you aren't speedballing.

Isn't that one of the best parts about music?

Some more killer lyrics by Dave

 

 

Tremble you weaklings,cower in fear I am your ruler,land,sea and air Immense in my girth,erect I stand tall I am a nuclear murderer I am polaris Ready to pounce at the touch of a button My system locked in on military gluttons I rule on land,air and sea Pass judgement on humanity Winds blow from the bowels of hell Will we give warning,only time will tell Satan rears his ugly head,to spit into the wind I spread disease like a dog Discharge my payload a mile high Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils Launch the polaris,the end doesnt scare us When will this cease The warheads will all rust in peace Bomb shelters filled to the brim Survival such a silly whim World leaders sell missiles cheap Your stomach turns,your flesh creeps High priest of holocaust,fire from the sea Nuclear winter spreading disease The day of final conflict All pay the price The third world war Rapes peace,takes life Back to the start,talk of the part When the earth was cold as ice Total dismay as the sun passed away And the days where black as night Eradication of earths Population loves polaris

 

 

I love that {censored}.

[Say Ocean]

(In before someone brings Metallica into the thread)

Too late, you already did it. Typical megalame fan syndrome

[jlc1587]

Well, I just hope this entire album isn't about war. I mean {censored} I get enough of that. I don't want the music I listen to, to be about nothing but war.

 

I mean what about the song united abominations? THAT is cheesy. What was the lyrics?

 

The U.N. is right you can't be anymore "UN?" I think that was it. I forgot. lol

[jlb32]

I like a few of the riffs but other than that it sounds alot like his last 2 albums, which I didn't care for. I'd like to see Dave do more stuff like "Cryptic Writings" and "Youthanasia". IMO those were his best 2 albums since "RIP". Of course "Countdown To Extinction" was good also IMO.

[Mavesicles]

Isn't that one of the best parts about music?

 

I listen to music for the instrumental aspect of it, most of the time.

 

I'm not about to sit down and analyze the lyrics and say "Wow, those are cheesy."

Yeah but it's going to keep sounding like that. He's gotten to that point to where it's not going to change much.

War and nihilism has always been the trademark of Megadeth lyrics.

You know you love it.

its about the new world order .

 

its no secret the goverments want to push us in that direction were basically playing that game right now .

 

oh yes {censored} the illuminati and all the sheep that sold out for the fast $ theres a bigger price to be payed and u know it {censored}ers .

[jlc1587]

But if they are cheesy you don't have to analyze it. It sticks out badly if it's cheesy. Unless you just totally ignore the singing all together theres no way to avoid it.

 

EDIT: You are acting as if, if anyone likes the lyrics or hates them that they are over listening to them. I mean {censored} whats the point in having a singer.

Probably why you like Dream Theater then? :poke:

Instrumental aspect is my favorite too but lyrics are a huge part of what makes a song complete imo.

[EdgeOfDarkness]

best ever.

/thread.

Good Mourning. Hey, I don't feel so good. Something's not right, Something's coming over me What the {censored} is this? Killer, intruder, homicidal man. If you see me coming, run as fast as you can. A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street. I hack up my victims like pieces of meat. Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend, Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds. My hammer's a cold piece of blood-lethal steel. I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal. Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads, Deviant defilers, you're next to be dead. I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent. Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head. Yeah! Their bodies convulse, in agony, and, pain. I mangle their faces, till no features remain. A blade for the butchering, I cut them to shreds. First take out the organs, then cut off the head. The remains of flesh now sop under my feet. One more bloody massacre, the murders' complete. I seek to dismember, a sadist fiend. And, blood baths are my way of getting clean. I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill. I have no remorse for the blood that I spill A merciless butcher who lives underground. I'm out to destroy you and ,I will, cut you down. I see you, and, I'm waiting ,for Black Friday. Killer, intruder, homicidal man. If you see me coming, run as fast as you can. A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street. I hack up my victims like pieces of meat. I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill. I have no remorse for the blood that I spill A merciless butcher who lives underground. I'm out to destroy you and ,I will, cut you down. It's Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall.
