The album is a cross between the old Megadeth feel with a modern polished sound, which forms a perfect mesh. For full disclosure, I don't think there are any bad Megadeth albums out there, but in the post Youthanasia era there has been a clear drop in the level of authentic Mustaine emotion. The whole album has this perfect rolling sound without any breaks or low points. It is rare that I like an album on the first attempt, but this has been the case here. If you are a weathered Deth enthusiast, you obviously need to hear the final versions of New World Order and Millenium of the Blind.Eestihttp://begrownup.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-53208458447586712212011-06-10T21:12:03.562-04:002011-06-10T21:12:03.562-04:00I listen to audioboooks in the car and as I work o...I listen to audioboooks in the car and as I work on the computer.

I'm a fast reader, and one of the things I love about audiobooks is that the slower pace often brings out things that I missed when I was reading the book. <br />I used to drive 3 hours back and forth almost every weekend between where I worked and where my friends and family live and I listened to a LOT of audiobooks (thank you public library!) I have less car time to listen to them since I moved back, but I still like to put one on for long road trips and flights.krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312582468791280266noreply@blogger.com
