Prisoners? Hell no, we don't need them. And Megadeth doesn't take them on
Endgame, which feels like a new beginning as the band tears apart the opening
instrumental, "Dialectic Chaos," with dueling guitars over a rhythm section
as solid as the band has ever known—maybe even more so. Really,
bandleader Dave Mustaine has outdone himself, tying together a fantastic band
with killer songs, from the heavy groove of the main riff on "Bit the Hand"
to the Spanish-guitar undertone of "The Hardest Part of Letting Go ... Sealed
With a Kiss" to the all-out beating of "Headcrusher." And the production
serves it all well, too, utilizing sound clips and plenty of atmospheric
sounds beneath the band's crunch, Mustaine sounding as angry as ever with
every step along the way. All that makes for an album every bit as good as
anything in the band's past.Megadeth
