Still can't get over the artwork either.

What makes the cover artwork even more difficult to get my head round, is that there are actually 2 illustrations of Vic in the album booklet! (I pre-ordered the album before hearing it, stupid I know... ) I remember in the 90's, when Megadeth wanted to be taken more seriously by the mainstream fraternity, they stopped putting Vic on their album covers. CTE and Youth both featured Vic on the back cover, but not on the front cover, likely because Dave thought metal mascots like Vic were very "uncool" at the time. Why pay someone to come up with illustrations of Vic, only to hide them within the booklet? Ridiculous...

I'm feeling it's clearly better than U.A. or Th1rt33n (inclding the title, sheesh), but holds no candle up to Endgame or TSHAF. It certainly lacks direction pretty severely, but not a bad sound at all. I think some people are just pissed about the cover art and are taking it out on the music.

The cover of "Cryptic Writings" is no better, and probably even worse, but I think that one is a superior album to "Super Collider". I know that there are some people who allow frivolous things to get in the way of their judgement of music, but you'd have to be incredibly shallow to judge the musical contents of an album based on the quality of the cover artwork...

so, never judge a book by it's cover?

I have never been interested in Megadeth, but isn't this album like their any other previous works ? it's not good but not bad either. I have always had hard time listening to Megadeth because of the annoying vocals, but on this one, they're less annoying, the performance and and sound are totally fair as well. Totally I would say perhaps one of the only Megadeth albums AFTER Rust In Peace( which I like it) that I will give it several listens.Oh Wait,Off The Edge,was the worst one on this album.Don't Turn Your Back was fucking blasting !

Bad. Very bad. This is my third listen and I'm not able to go on. I'm sorry Dave.

Very Good !!!

There is some catchy riffs and things but..
This is probably the Most useless thing i've ever heard..

'really disappointed!

Such a dissapointing album.
There wasn't a single point throught the whole album where I thought ''oh this is actually not bad"

Call me freakin crazy if you want, but I think this is possibly the 2nd best Megadeth album ever, only behind Rust In Peace

It seems consistent, refreshingly different in some ways, and features what are imo many of Dave's best lyrics ever, like "Dance In The Rain". That song easily ranking amongst the best Megadeth songs ever if you ask me.

Also Dave's vocals are at an all time low level of nasally sounding-ness. Which is good.

Doesn't sound crazy to me. I've given every one of their albums a fair shot and other than the releases from 1992 and 1994, none of their discography sparks my interest whatsoever. So this may as well be their 3rd best as far as I'm concerned.

To tell you the truth, I'm not disappointed with the new album. Being a fan of Megadeth, all their releases are wonderful to me. This one hasn't become an exception. From the first to the last second, it's a devastating pleasure to listen to the new Megadeth album.

You're going to be massacred for saying this... hahaha.

I'm totally uninterested in Megadeth (even the old albums don't interest me at all), so I don't have an opinion either way.

Totally agree!

I also find it quite disappointing. Thirteen wasn't that great either, but it had some nice songs that were just nice to listen to. This new album unfortunately doesn't have that for me. Of the ten songs, I only found the first and eighth enjoyable. The others were mediocre to my ear at best.

Gush.. Guys.. Too many negative reviews.. I really can't get it..

Alright, 6/10 rather than 5/10.

That's some really cool riffing on there, still a bit uninspired but one day I may pick it up as a CD, but only for a bargin bin price.

Hope MegaDave can get some better inspiration before releasing a new album... maybe get angry at something again, or even better, write about drugs.

There's 2 songs on here that are desperately trying to crawl their way out of mediocrity, and the rest is just below mediocre, what is this honestly.

The blackest crow:

I think after "Risk" it's weaker than any Megadeth album .

Worst Megadeth album ever, and I thought United Abominations was boring...

This shit is worse than epitome of torture. In conclusion, is the worst "thrash" album of the year for now.

well if they would record good album, wery good popl will buy it more, but album sucks

It's either I'm getting old or Dave is. Or both.
Won't rate out of respect for what Megadeth once was.

Fuck metallica and megadeth both. you guys need to go for the new wave of thrash. Havok, Warbringer, Lich King and so many other bands.

I don't know why so much people are so negative about this album. Would it still be negative if it was another band? I think it is for many dissapointing because it is not the same as the rest of their albums.
When i hear the album, i hear eleven good and powerful songs. The thrash is gone but who cares, you want to listen to every song and it is over before you know it. Nr 1 album of my list of 2013 till now!

If it wasn't a Megadeth album I don't think anyone would even care about its existence, tbh.

Well, obviously people here haven't cared about Megadeth since their early days. But it wouldn't have made a difference. This is a crap album regardless.

I have nothing against Country Rock but this is just awful.

Awful album and a really bad follow up of their previous album

Just watched the music video for Supercollider. I didn't know you could get that cheesy.
