What do you guys think about the new Megadeth song?https://youtu.be/P1NqgcRoA0k?si=FixK8_yD0P9tdmVk
>>127984682If all of the album sounds like this then it'll be a pretty good send-off for the band, I appreciate the variety in riffs ('specially that one at 3:21)
Some pointless instrumentals here and there and a few wonky choruses, but the instrumentation and songwriting was stellar. Salem's a really, really fucking good song and my personal pick of the litter.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLMzABpFkFs
Wish the B side kept up the momentum from the first half (there's a noticeable decrease in songwriting quality after The Confrontation) but what are you gonna do. Very unique for 1979 and ahead of its time by like 4-5 years, give it a listen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByLxvXqe8Xghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6x6arYUMYQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZsHmhfO37khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKxxCQVuIOg
