cd mmg baru kecuali jewel case ada retak sket. slps risk, aku dah mcm kurg follow megadeth lebih2 lg since abg mus umumkan megadeth dah disbanded in 2002 due to left arm nerve injury... album2 slps risk smpi ua aku xfollow (kecuali album2 kompilasi capitol punishment dan back to the start)
then in 2007 album ni kluar under roadrunner label (and endorsed by dean guitars)... ada 2 benda yg membuatkan aku nak sgt dgr album ni. 1st thing aku notice kat cover art ada vic yg agak berbeza, dressing ala2 arnold-susah-nak-sebut dlm filem terminator (berjaket kulit, pgg shotgun). info drp wiki:
All artwork for the album was selected from a contest held by DeviantArt. The contestants were asked to design a new version of Vic Rattlehead, the band mascot which appears on nearly every Megadeth album cover. Mustaine chose from the top 11 finalists to be included in the CD booklet. The cover was unveiled in August 2006, of which the image depicts the United Nations headquarters in flames and being destroyed by flying oil barrels. Vic Rattlehead (the Megadeth mascot) and the 'Angel of Deth' are pictured in the foreground. Although the cover of the CD was not the winner of the contest, Mustaine chose it as his favorite picture, and wanted it for the cover. No photographs of the band were taken for the CD booklet, leaving the entire design as fan-made artwork
dan artworks dlm album ni semuanya best2... aku rasa "angel of deth" tu dah jd 2nd maskot/trademark utk megadeth (hence, ada dean guitars abg mus signature series "angel of deth")
2nd thing yg menarik perhatian aku, bila baca tracklist ada lagu a tout le monde (set me free) - antara lagu megadeth febret aku ni, dgn hype "featuring cristina scabbia of lacuna coil"... jd apa lagi, aku pun mula la operasi donlod trial & listen. oke seriuosly, album ni yg membuatkan aku minat semula dgn megadeth dan tanam niat nak kumpul their older materials as a seriuos collections (mcm iron maiden dan bbrp band lain) sblm ni cuma ada mp3 dan beli album kompilasi shj
tracklist
- sleepwalker <- lagu best, tp sygnya intro slow...
- washington is next! <- intro solo mcm lagu wasted years maiden kan?
- never walk alone... a call to arms
- united abominations <- hehehe, the tittle speaks everything
- gears of war <- lagu utk game gears of war
- blessed are the dead
- play for blood
- a tout le monde (set me free) <- versi baru, duet dgn cristina scabbia lacuna coil
- amerikhastan <- best tajuk hahaha
- you're dead
- burnt ice
masih lg dgn trademark lagu2 megadeth yg bertemakan peperangan, kemusnahan, ketidakpuashatian dan penuh dgn perasaan dendam kesumat... tp dlm album ni lebih ketara kutuk bangsa2 bersatu (pbb @ un) dan tindakan amerika dlm isu2 semasa global yg dianggap abg mus sbg tindakan yg sia2 (isu 9/11, terrorist, afghanistan, iraq, minyak)
dulu aku dah nak beli versi m'sian press kat miri, tp memandangkan economoney aku pun decide beli versi cap lanun... mmg foolish decision la time tu, tp xpe... skrg aku dah ada versi ori ;) sori ye abg mus
oke, personal opinion album ni mmg berjaya menaikkan semula nama megadeth di kalangan fans lama dan berjaya menarik fans yg baru... tema yg agak sesuai ngam pada masa dan tmptnya, old-school megadeth music with some modern touch dan lagu a tout le monde mmg hype gila! berhantu! personal rate 4.5/5 lbh sket drp endgame, but that was me... how about u?_____
p/s: there was no UN only UA
