I've been listening to allot of Megadeth, new & old, in anticipation of this new album. And while I hadn't noticed it much before, I'm starting to see what you guys are talking about with Shawn Drover's drumming on the last few albums.

He's certainly not a bad drummer, but he's got no style or flair. He has 2 speeds. Drum fast and drum faster. He's robotic. It doesn't really bother me or take away from my enjoyment of the songs, but I get it now. He's kinda bland. Especially compared to Gar or Nick.

Only had the chance to spin it once so far and I'm a bit mixed about it. It's definitely a step up from Endgame, but it starts off badly for me. It wasn't until a few songs in that it started to sound like Megadeth hitting their stride. I think it some of it is genuinely fantastic (and I have to admit, I do like the fact that 'Black Swan' and 'New World Order' have got a proper album recording), but it doesn't grab me like System. Still, definitely a good record - very Countdown at points.

Really? I though the first song, "Sudden Death" was one of the best!

I think I agree that it really picks up after the first couple of songs

Nah. I got 'Sudden Death' off iTunes when it was released as a single for Guitar Hero a while back and it didn't grab me them, it still leaves me a bit cold now. It's not a bad track, mind. Just not great.

Funny, I just got back from buying it, and I thought it started off really good. The first two tracks, anyway.

I had to skip over "Whose Life" (Is It Anyways?)" because it started to annoy me. First off, stupid lyrics. They might as well have been written by a 15-year-old. And why is the title grammatically incorrect ("anyways"), but Dave sings "anyway." Pffft!

Moving along...some good songs after that. I skimmed a bit after the next couple tunes, but it sounds good from what I've heard.

Dave's voice is too loud in the mix, though. This is why lead singers shouldn't produce albums. Geoff Tate's vocals are too high in the mix these days, too.

I had a very mixed reaction when I first listened to this album yesterday.

I've been listening to a lot of megadeth this past week in anticipation of this album, especially endgame and united abominations.

This album shocked me in that where the last 2 albums were moving back to the more thrash metal sound of their early past this one has more in common with countdown to extinction and youthanasia, something I was not expecting.

A few spins later and I'm really loving it. Solid songs with some awesome solos from the man broderick. Like one or others I thought the album started really well. Sudden death is a great track and as I can't stand the guitar hero games I haven't heard it before. I also really like public enemy no:1.

Overall a good solid album. I would have preferred a more thrashy album in a similar vein to endgame but overall thus has enough decent songs on it to sit nicely in my megadeth collection and won't become a dust magnet like Risk.

Ha, that's one of the first tunes that stuck with me. I like that one. Reminds me of a girl I dated.

So far, I'm really digging this. It's probably about even in the standings with Endgame. The aforementioned combination of their biggest selling sound with the speed of the last couple albums works really surprisingly well. The slower songs mainly take a hit because Dave's voice is too smurfing loud, and let's face it, he never could sing harmonies or anything. Ellefson being back on bass is definately a major plus. Sonically, it very well incorpartes the sound of the early to mid 90's era with the past 4 records quite well.

The only real thing that bugs me is on some of the slower tracks, Dave sounds out of place because well he never could sing harmonically(?) and his voice is insanely loud. Other then that, the only tracks that haven't really grabbed me yet are "We The People", "Guns, Drugs, Money", and "13" they all are a little boring.

As for the re-records, these versions are quite superior IMO. "New World Order" is just EPIC.

There are a couple instant 'Deth classics on hand as well in "Sudden Death", "Public Enemy No.1" and "Never Dead"

I also find it hilarious (but not surprising in the least) people are bitching about this on blogs already though. The same ones who thought Endgame was too much speed and no substance and were clamoring for a return to form seem to be pissed this calls on so many influences from the Countdown/Youthanasia.[i] What a bunch of maroons lol!

Just picked up my copy of TH1RT3EN a little while ago, not quite finished w/my first spin yet but it sounds jim dandy to me thus far, for whatever that's worth. Very Happy

Gave it another spin today. I am liking it more, I have to say. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but it does remind me a lot of Countdown, which can't be a bad thing.

Stupid lyrics, sure, but that's where the album starts getting good for me. The riffs and hooks in that track are fantastic.

The 1st three tracks are really good. They grew on me pretty fast. I've heard the album twice through so far.

In the Anthrax/Megadeth poll question, I wrote that this album has a Countdown/Youthanasia feel to it.

BTW did anyone see the Public Enemy #1 video? Kinda goofy IMO.

I've lived with the album for about 48hrs now and I have listened to it probably 5 or 6 since I purchased it.

My impression has not altered much since my initial posting about it, however as I am becoming more familiar with the songs I am finding that the best part about this album is Chris Broderick's leads, which remind me very much of a mix between Chris Poland and Marty Friendman. Chris seems to bring exactly what Mustaine had been looking for after Marty's departure - something that could not be equaled even by Poland when he rejoined as a session player on System has Failed.

Broderick's guitar playing make the difference between this album being somewhat on the average side (though I will explain further) and being a refreshing (albeit nothing new) listening experience.

What I mean by 'somewhat on the average side' well it is hard at this point in Megadeth's career for anyone to genuinely argue that Th1rt3n is an integral album that furthers Megadeth's style and contribution to metal. I think the albums that contributed and influenced metal, taking the genre as whole to new heights, are firmly cemented in the band's past. It is not because Dave could not reinvent Megadeth's style as he did in the 90s but I feel he has become partly insecure after the disastrous move that was Risk, and partly stuck in the past as his interest in metal (to me it seems) has stopped somewhere around the mid-late 80s. In that regard, I feel Dave's inspiration for new sounds seems to have just atrophied and that is probably why, for me, this album sans Broderick's aggressive leads would end up being a bit of a recycled/rehashed experience.

I don't mean to be harsh or excessively critical - this is a band that I really love and I have stuck by Dave even when he released less than interesting albums. Megadeth is and will always be a band I can safely turn to and enjoy at all stages of its career. However, I feel my expectations are somewhat unfulfilled by the latest album yet not completely dashed. For me it feels that Megadeth is slowly turning into a sort of Motorhead-hybrid. Where you know the new album is going to sound much like the last couple of releases and you can easily predict the pattern of songs that will grace the album - the only difference will be, how much better (rather than different) they will sound.

It is this that I am starting to have qualms with. I want both better yet also a different experience from a new Megadeth album. I love Cryptic Writings because it is different from Rust in Peace and vice versa. It is not the 'bad' kind of different either, at its core Cryptic Writings is still Megadeth, know you're listening to the same band that released Peace Sells and Rust in Peace even if the sound is not as fast or as complex.

This is what I look for in a new album by Megadeth, which I guess it is why out of the albums released in the last decade I like System Has Failed the best because it was an album delivering something different - it reminded me, in concept, with albums like Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings - it was still Megadeth at its core, the influence of the older albums was there but it was also pushing for a new stylistic approach.

The album is pretty good, in my opinion. I like the songs "Public Enemy No. 1", "Whose Life (is it Anyways?)", and "Wrecker" the best.
