Now Megadeth has had the
chance to play together for a couple of years without having to worry about
line-up changes and the result is extraordinary. This is probably their best
album so far - the music is more melodic, a little heavier than before,
sharper but still as fast as on the first releases. The vocals are also even
better than before - sharp, aggressive and filled with energy and emotions.
The songs are mostly about insanity and governmental violence and oppression
but there are also a very good song about the extinction of the species on
Earth - Countdown to extinction - which is also the name of the album. This is
also what this album is about; we humans are destroying our own lives as well
as everything else on Earth. If we don't try our absolute best to preserve
what still is to be saved the countdown to extinction will sooner or later be
accomplished. As usual most of the music has been composed by Dave Mustaine
himself but on this album the rest of the band has been allowed to contribute
to the music more than before. This is a very good album but there is a lot
more to come from the speed metal band
Megadeth!
