Everyone still talks about Metallicas latest release whilst Megadeth have made their strongest album in years with Endgame. Blows the arse off Death Magnetic.

I first got into metal properly several years ago (sure I`d grown up listening to stuff by Priest and Maiden and at the time never really liked the stuff but I do now) So I decided to start on more-modern with Metallica and yer I liked them and got into thrash and then the more complex thrash, but despite the excellence of early Metallica albums there was something kind of missing. I then explored Megadeth and found that missing link, their music had an energy and a manic appeal that was missing in Metallica, an appeal that only somebody like Dave Mustaine could provide me, sure the group has released some really bad albums such as Cryptic Writings and Risk but the great stuff far outweighs this. Megadeth gave me just the right amount of heaviness that I needed at the time, to really get me into the genre before I stepped up a gear to Slayer, Pantera and Sepultura etc who are probably now, still my fav metal bands but if I hadn`t listened to Megadeth and fallen in love with them, then maybe the heavier stuff would`ve never appealed to me.

Ya think? A ton of people are talking about Endgame. Obviously, Megadeth will never get the same mainstream press as Metallica, but within the metal community this thing was a huge release. Great album, too.
