Megadeth - Endgame

Yeah, it isn't exactly that new anymore, but it sure is new to this board!

So what do you think of it?
I am just enjoying it via Myspace and I must say I like it, I like it a lot!

The über-cynical lyrics is what gets me the most.
Just the title of the record says it all: Endgame.

The conspiracy theme and anit-govenment feeling has been with Megadeth since their second album Peace sells...but who's buying? but throughout the years, the sceptistim and cynisms have become sharper and sharper.

I'll give you a little taste from the lyrcis on this new release:

"This Day We Fight!"

No turning the other cheek like a coward
Come tomorrow I may lay down and die
But not this day, this day we fight!

This day we fight!

"Endgame"

"Attention! Attention!
All citizens are ordered to report to their District detention centers!
Do not return to your homes;
Do not contact anyone!
Do not use any cellular or GPS devices!
Surrender all weapons at once!
Attention! This way to the camps!"

"Bite the Hand That Feeds"

"They ball-gagged Lady Justice
And blindfolded her so she can't see
The erosion of the people's trust
Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide"

I would like for us to discuss the new Megadeth album and their music in general with the main focus on their lyrics and Dave's own interest/involevement on the "conspiracy scene".



Keep it metal...

Mustaine is an ass. Remember last year when he refused to play this show in france i think because Rotting Christ where also playing? It ended with megadeth playing and Rotting Christ getting the can.
