Performers: Dave Mustaine (Vocals / Guitar) Steve DiGiorgio (Bass Guitar) []

TheBigBlack Review (7 January 2023) Continuing on their winning streak from Dystopia (2016), Megadeth proved once again they still have what it takes on The Sick, The Dying. And The Dead. Loaded with plenty of old-school style thrashing (keeping the Droogies happy), the album bristles with energy, aided by the perfect production. The album starts slow on the title track, but quickly finds its feet with the lightning fast 'Life In Hell'. Frontman Dave Mustaine's voice is in fine form (although the snarl of old seems to be all but a memory these days), and the solos from him and guitar lead Kiko Loureiro are amazing with standouts like 'Dogs Of Chernobyl' exploding with trade-off shredding. It isn't all smiles, as there are more than a couple of cringy-worthy lyrics ('Mission To Mars' is a great example), but for the most part the album is packed with excellent songs, with tracks like 'Soldier On!' and 'Night Stalkers' smashing out vintage-sounding Megadeth riffs. Album closer 'We'll Be Back' is one of the best Megadeth songs of the last 20 years, and Dave's way of making it clear that he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
mindkiller Review (14 January 2023) This edition looks at a new release from a band I have loved since a teenager. We have had our differences along the way with releases. Now is time to review their latest offering. I am still only a month and a dozen listens into this one. So it's not like I am reviewing Rust in any way, so here we are with my first impressions. Overall, the best release they have delivered for a long time, and I'm talking over 15 years ago. My main concern is Dave relies a lot on spoken word instead of his usual singing tone. For example in middle part of 'Life In Hell'. Mind you this is a killer guitar riff happening at the same time. A favourite track. 'Night Stalkers' with Ice-T's influence makes you stand up and listen, as always with Ice. Him returning the favour from Mustaine's involvement with last Bodycount release I expect. Oh and that bass line toward the end - I'm in love. Another great track. Some great guitar work follows in tracks such as 'Sacrifice' and 'Soldier On'. 'Psychopathy' is the only track I can see is a waste. Ticking in at just over a minute I don't see the point. It ain't no 'Dawn Patrol'. And a very close pass for 'Mission To Mars'. Dave, they are some lame lyrics right there. Likely the best track on the record is the last track 'We'll Be Back'. Damn this is fast and catchy. Love it. I can't say for sure but it is interesting that this release marks the longest they have had between records for a long time (6 years in fact). I would love the quality over quantity into the future Dave.
