Megadeth-Endgame

Opinions on this (IMO) stellar album?

It's their best album since Rust in Peace.

Great album - great riffs and soloing throughout the whole album. Mustaine and company are on their game, literally.

Its not grabbing me at all. I like the intro and the last song though. The others are ultra forgettable though.

ditto, although i still think Head Crusher is a decent enough tune.

Meh. I liked UA a lot better.

Good disc with 3 songs I really love on it and some other pretty good ones.

If you don't mind me asking, which are the three songs you really love on it?

I felt that way when I first listened to it. Technically, all the ingredients are all there. Good solos, fast playing (at times), and loads of cool riffs, but I just wasn't "engaged" when I listened. Perhaps repeated listens will grab me more, but for now, UA is superior.

Headcrusher, 1320, and the title track.

It's pretty weak IMO. Sure, the riffs and leads are good, but the songs just aren't there. There's a few really good tracks and the rest of it is just completely unmemorable. I was very disappointed with it. I definitely preferred United Abominations - it had some filler, but it was more consistently enjoyable and I can actually remember the songs on it.

I like it. A very good album IMO.

Thanks for posting my thoughts on this Smindas. Saves me the trouble.

I'm a Deth fanboy so I dig it. It made my Top Ten for 2009 list easily.

When I have it on while driving, my right foot seems to have the tendacy/tenacity to push the gas petal towards the floor. imagine that.

I gave mine away to Robert from Ultimatum. I hope he likes it better than I did.

My feelings as well

i dont know man its like it was missing something. it was. . . i dont even know. it was weird it just didnt feel like classic megadeth. it was new. . idk i was ok. i like headcrusher and a couple other songs but UA is definatly better

Since this was bumped and I didn't get to voice my opinion the first time around,I have to say I really like it. Megadeth never really let me down (except for Risk) and Endgame is no exception. Good Stuff !

It's one of those records that "sounded" pretty exciting the first few times I heard it, but then I found myself never revisiting it. I tried it again a month or so ago and decided nah, so I sold it.

6 months later and I still feel about the same way. It's gotten slightly more memorable, but not by much.
