Well its better than anything on the last 2 albums but there's just no real hook to it.

No way this is better than the likes of black swan,public enemy or the 2 rerecords from Youthanasia IMO. No hook is the key issue alright decent elements but altogether poor track no doubt there's worse to come.

Public enemy was ok and I don't count either black swan or the other 2 as they were from previous albums. I also prefer the demo version of black swan from UA.

fatal illusion…not bad at all, yet not totally blown away…sounds like things may be going in the right direction, though…

A farting duck trapped in a barrel for 45 minutes would achieve the same result.

Super Collider is no classic but I thought it had it's moments, Dance in the Rain and The Blackest Crow are great songs and there are a few other half decent songs on it too.

It's funny how people were hoping they'd do something more along the lines of their earlier work, and now they have and people still say it's sh1te, just goes to show you can't win whatever you do.

Decent track that! Wasn't all that gone on "The Threat is Real" but I'm liking that one.

KH25 · 08-01-2016 12:28pm

Title track is good. Digging it and fatal illusion. Still not sold on the threat is real but sure it may grow on me! Preordered the album today.

Very sad news indeed:(...He actually died on stage, so if there is ever a way to go that's it..Quick while doing something you love....Rip Nick

cournioni · 22-05-2016 10:29pm

Terrible news. So sad to have lost another great musician. The drumming on Rust in Peace was nothing short of inspirational. Gonna have a listen to Hangar 18 as a tribute to him.

RIP Nick.

Say Your Number · 22-05-2016 11:21pm

Shocking news

Brilliant drummer and massively underrated too, would have been great if he and Friedman re-joined Megadeth last year, but given his abrasive personality it's remarkable he lasted a decade in Megadeth.

Hellrun · 24-05-2016 11:02pm

Nick was the best drummer they ever had (With the exception of Vinnie when he played on that one studio album). Damn shame...

Dave Mustaine's statement on Nick's passing

I woke up this morning to a text message from my son, with the news of Nick Menza's passing. Shocked, devastated, and saddened don't begin to describe my feelings.

Originally a tech for the band, Nick soon displayed such talent and personality, it didn’t take long for us to realize he belonged on stage with us, behind the kit. We asked Nick to join Megadeth as our drummer in 1989. At the time, the band already had its first gold album, which only served to stoke the fire. We all wanted world domination- with so much of our lives and dreams ahead of us. As we navigated through the pitfalls of life and the music business, our first album with Nick, Rust in Peace, and subsequent albums Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia, kept up the momentum. We parted ways after Cryptic Writings. We, like all brothers, would disagree at times, but our bond was strong throughout.

As a player, Nick had a very powerful jazzy flair, unpredictable and always entertaining. And as great a drummer as he was, the time spent with him as a person, a bandmate, and a friend was even more fun. There were several times we discussed him coming back to the band, but for various reasons it never came together. We've been in touch all along, he had come out to our shows recently, and he had remained a great friend, a true professional and a larger than life personality.

The Megadeth family take care of each other, and expect to hear soon about an initiative to help Nick's children. All of us in this community are connected, take care of yourself and your loved ones.

My deepest condolences go out to Nick's family.

Dave Mustaine
