There is no doubt of the talent and quality of the main man and founder of the band, with this record he achieved what many musicians never do, To placed melodies in our heads hard to let go. There are a couple of riffs that reminded us of previous and glorious years when Countdown to Extinction was among our favorites records.

The first song of this record is good and it builds up great expectations about the rest of the album. “Disconnect” gives birth to “The World needs a Hero” and Mustaine’s vocals are there to tell us who we are dealing with, his vocals like always fit perfectly with the bass work, or vice versa. A couple of simple but very catchy guitar riffs that may want to make head bang, but they don’t really penetrate your…soul. After the very promising beginning the rest of the record is a rollercoaster of good, bad and many mediocre songs; so we just better mention the good moments; “Moto psycho” is heavy and easy to comprehend, “Promises” is a well composed ballad, very romantic (you can dedicate this song to your girlfriend, only if she is not into the heavy stuff), “Dread And The Fugitive Mind” is kind of slow but it manages to end up pick up some heavy tunes here and there, “Return to hangar” well this one is just mediocre but is worth a listen.

The record is not bad at all, the problem is that Megadeth place a very high bar and this record just doesn’t quite make it over it, if “The World needs a Hero” was made by another band it will be a great album.
