As a lifelong Megadeth fan, this album is okay. Nothing is horrible, but I only really enjoy about half these songs. The guitar sound/album production is a little weird for me. It seems to be pushed into the red levels and harsh on some tracks, reminds me of industrial metal like old Ministry. At least they are trying something different this time. Many others will hate the melodic tracks - "Dystopia" and "Poisonous Shadows", but they are my favourites, along with the punk cover song of FEAR's "Foreign Policy"; and it is ridiculous that the label did not include the best song, "Melt the Ice Away" (Budgie cover) (only available on Spotify as a bonus track).
