Carpe Mortem

Album Title: Countdown To Extinction
Artist: Megadeth
Nationality: American
Year: 1992
Subgenre: thrash metal
Familiarity: Not well, despite often referring to them as a Metallica cover band
Favourite Track(s): Symphony Of Destruction, Sweating Bullets, Countdown to Extinction
Why? The first one I've always dug, heard it many a time and it sticks with you. Sweating Bullets had a sexy intro and really good swing back and forth with that falling low tone. Countdown to Extinction was just gorgeously melodic and separate from the rest of the album, deserved its place as the album's namesake.
Least Favourite Track(s): This Was My Life, Psychotron
Why? Just annoying vocal bits, boring instrumental bits aside from a few little fun parts. I don't need a rational reason, they were all just straight up unpleasant to my ears.
End Impression: Meh, I'd listen to the songs I listed as favorites again but I wouldn't bother getting the whole album.
Comments: Maybe it just aint my bag, baby.
Rating: 3.5/10
