Pretty good song, I look forward to hearing the rest. I did see a small pic of the album artwork. Looks interesting but I could not see everything. I did not see Vic Rattlehead but maybe he is there somewhere. I know Dave spent some time updating Vic's look... Why bother if he isn't even visible on the cover?

The last CD was fantastic! I'm looking forward to getting the new one.

I REALLY hope they come through Kansas City this time around though!:confused:

I'm not the biggest Megadeth fan ever, but this sounds pretty darn good.

Vic is on the cover. He's the guy holding the shotgun.

The picture depicts the UN bulding getting destroyed. If you look at the peace sells cover, you can figure out that that this is it's predecessor and that Vic had some skin an mucles before being a skeleton.

I think it's a decent song, but far from being as good as the stuff on the first 4 megadeth album. I think the big weakness is the song arrangement. The song is long and uptempo but there aren't enough riffs. The transition between the main song and the interlude is poorly made. The song doesn't get anywhere, there is no rise in intensity and no outro.

The interlude is pretty good but sounds much alike in structure to a riff in Take No Prisoners, and the riff sounds like a megadeth riff that's been used a lot of times before. The beggining of Mustaine's solo sounds a LOT like a part of the "Truth Be Told" solo. It sure is a good solo and proves Dave is still one heck of a guitar player. Glen's solo is technically very well executed but it doesn't have Marty's magic touch. I doubt I could ever consider him better for Megadeth than Marty. I expect him to rank over Poland and under Mustaine in terms of lead guitar playing, but I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised and hear someone who plays better solos than Megadave.

Yes, I know Glen technically pretty much owns Dave, but before Marty stepped in, Dave had all the best solos, and while Marty made a classic solo on Tornado of Souls, Dave also had his moment on Holy Wars.

Sleepwaler is far from being something that would be considered a classic in years from now, but it's probably the heaviest song Megadeth has played in years, which is a nice apetizer to the record that is to come.

The new song is pretty awsome. Did you hear that the first single will be a remake of "A Tout Le Monde" with the addition of female vocals? Also it is supposed to be sped up and have a longer solo. It should be interesting although I don't know if it is a good idea to release it for the first single.

As already said, that's Vic who's the main character in the cover.

And if you want to see the old Vic, check out the building on the right side of the picture... Watch it really closely.............

Well, Dave wanted it to be a B-Side, but since the people at RR were blown away by it, they encouraged him to make that decision...
