i also agree about the chris broderick part. I am a huge megadeth fan. they kick started my whole guitar obsession! it was around the time that Dave had that injury and couldnt play guitar is when i first heard them! put on the best of album and kill the king and dread and the fugitive mind just blew my mind and then the erst of the album too. was like nothing id ever heard bfore! and i eventually got to their heavier stuff too. for a year solid i listened to nothing but megadeth! but not knowing the release dates or who was wo at first was also an advantage. i listened to th whole catalog without and the “this guitarist that guitarist” bull. eventually i came to maryt’s solo stuff and again . . . was totally blown away! music for speeding. . . amazing.

so yeah i agree about the CB thing. . .very talented but not as inspiring as marty. i was delighted when the system has failed came out cos it was the fiirst new megadeth album to come out since id heard of them and it was great to have Chris poland back, but since then i havent been to moved by any of megadeths releases. without marty or chris it sounds generic as you said.

anyway i better get back to work!!
Thanks for the review!
