Megadeth's Thirteen - What Do You Think ? Options

[Ben Higgins]

So guys, Thirteen.. sorry, Th1rt3en has been out for a while now. Now that we've all had time to listen to it, what do you think ?

Sudden Death is one of the best opening songs on a Megadeth album for years.. the one note riffing is classic Mustaine ! I also prefer the drier, more natural production of this album because it makes them feel real again.. it also brings to mind the dry guitar chug of the Peace Sells era..

Also, part way through Public Enemy Number 1 you realise something: Ellefson's back ! The bass lines that didn't come through on crappy computer monitors suddenly transform this previously average song into a butt kicking driving song !

Of course, the Friedman era songs Millenium of the Blind and New World Order are top of the pile as well.. some of the songs are not so hot - Deadly Nightshade, Wrecker, Fast Lane, Whose Life Is it Anyway.. but as a whole album, it feels alive and it's great to have them back.
