That’s how I felt about most of Endgame and Dystopia. But I did like the main riff in this new song.

Re: New Megadeth song!
I'll buy the new Deth when it comes out. At least this new song is pretty sweet. Even if it wasn't, I'd still buy it. I have to hear Metallica before I buy it. Deth is an automatic buy.
Confession: I actually liked Super Collider...

Re: New Megadeth song!
I remember in the early days how the albums had a distinct sound and the hits were unique yet still Megadeth. I know this is a hotly debated topic: we want new albums to have the same sound as previous ones (because we liked the sound), but we criticize when they're too similar. I don't know the answer to this b/c Megadeth is favourite secular band, but I can say that one of the reasons I haven't listened to much of their newer stuff is it sounds too cookie cutter.

I've been listening to this one all weekend, and this morning it hit me, that it sounds like the beginning of The Threat is Real. It's in the same key (granted--most metal songs are), The opening riff is incredibly similar, the tempos are similar (160 vs. 180) and the chord drop into verse 1 is identical.

I agree completely and I still really like their new stuff. But up through the 90s and even partly into the 2000s, every album was unique.

I agree 100% with your first sentence.
2nd sentence? If a band is simply a business that supplies the consumer with a product, they can put out any music they want as long as it pays the bills. If music is more than that, I'd wager that some listeners (I'd put myself in that category) needs the music to have a soul: to hear inspiration, a renewed message, something fresh, the artist's heart, something along those lines.
There is nothing wrong with Megadeth's new stuff, it's done awesome, and it's a great lesson. But I do think it's missing that intangible, special ingredient that adds a bit of magic.

I like old Deth, don't get me wrong, but I think Dystopia had some fresh stuff that they'd been lacking since UA.
