Megadeth  Megadeth

For a final album from supposed titans of metal, Megadeth operates with surprisingly little ambition: It clocks in, then clocks out Slant Magazine

Megadeth  Megadeth

Conspiracy theories and combustible fingers on thrash metallers’ curtain call The Guardian

Megadeth  Megadeth

Megadeth (the album) is the perfect encapsulation of how Megadeth (the band) have lived: bold, frequently brilliant but occasionally flawed Kerrang!

Megadeth  Megadeth

Whether a mature gesture of goodwill towards Mustaine's longtime rivals or just a savvy marketing move, many of us will no doubt be skipping straight to this, battle vests well-stocked with tissues Exclaim

Megadeth  Megadeth

Westside Cowboy gear up for greatness on ‘So Much Country ‘Till We Get There’ Far Out

Westside Cowboy  So Much Country ‘Till We Get There

Doesn’t pretend to be a finished picture. It’s a document of a band still figuring things out, enjoying the rush of being in motion.
