Cryptic Writings and Th1rt3en had their highlights as well (‘The Disintegrators’, ‘Black Swan’) but sadly no signs of classic Megadeth are found on Super Collider anywhere. Their uninspired “return to roots” album The World Needs a Hero had a few cringe worthy tracks but you could still hear hints of their glory days in the form of ‘Dread and the Fugitive Mind’ and ‘Return to Hangar’. Risk gets the most flak but it was an interesting experiment and at worst a fun hard rock record. Sure, Megadeth have had some stinkers in the past. Super Collider is decent at its best, and at its worst flat out embarrassing. First, Dave has very questionable judgments now – including ‘Burn!’ and ‘Super Collider’ on this album are crimes punishable by… well, listening to them – and that Megadeth finally released an album that really, really sucks. Surely the psychotic “head crusher” Dave is still in there somewhere, right? Then I heard Super Collider in full, and sometime during the 45-minute journey of aurally experiencing every worst-case-scenario possible with the album, I came to realize a couple things. Even after the highly disappointing Th1rt3en, I held faith that one day the classic Megadeth spark will spawn another superb piece of thrash metal, and especially after the surprise of Endgame in 2009, the idea didn’t seem too far-fetched.
#MEGADETH SUPERCOLLIDER FULL ALBUM FULL#
After all, he was the brains behind quintessential thrash album Rust in Peace, not to mention playing a huge role in bringing thrash metal into full fruition. Review Summary: The worst part about Super Collider is not knowing whether it's just another dud in Megadeth's discography or the unfortunate demise of the band altogether.īefore Super Collider, I believed in Dave Mustaine.
