World Needs a Hero

Author: Megadeth

Format: Clean

Release Date: 15-05-2001

Details: Amazon.caThe lineup is different. The record company is new. But vitriol-tongued Dave Mustaine remains Megadeth’s one constant. While more commercial and mature than unbridled early releases such as So Far, So Good . . . So What!, this follow-up to the poorly received Risk finds Megadeth mostly back to their metallic roots. Mustaine continues to alternately mine politics and self-reflection to good effect, and his solos still shred. The taut, hooky « Moto Psycho » is polished, millennial thrash, and though the rest of the material on this 12-song collection isn’t as instantly memorable, it’s certainly ambitious. Mustaine’s biting vocal and the muscular musicianship of the powerful title track and the pained love-lost ode « 1,000 Times Goodbye » hit the mark, as does the epic, string-laden ballad « Promises, » though Mustaine’s patented vocal seems out of place, as does the classical guitar on « Recipe for Hate . . . Warhorse. » That said, old-school fans will worship the likes of « Moto Psycho » and the classic and brutal « Dread and the Fugitive Mind » and « Return to Hangar. » –Katherine Turman
