Album Reviews
Metallica have mostly exchanged thrashy riff metal for ballad-filled reflection rock, but one-time guitarist Dave Mustaine still likes his metal fast, brutal and apocalyptic. The cover of Megadeth's eleventh album depicts the United Nations under fiery siege and the lyrics throughout describe a bloody near-future of ethnic cleansing, terrorism and chaos. You could attribute the darkness to the troubled times we're in, but -- like the double-time guitar licks and endless noodling solos -- United Abominations
sounds a whole lot like the band's last ten albums.
