If you will judge this release against Rust in Peace - for those that prefer the more aggressive Megadeth - or against Countdown to Extinction - for those, like me, that prefer their softer and more melodic side - you can move on, nothing worth seeing here.
But if you can judge this album on it's own merit then it's worth a listen. Is a good release from a good band.
