Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Thirty years after Dave Mustaine was sacked by Metallica, it seems as if the crown prince of Thrash can finally look back on the intervening years and sit back and think to himself that somewhere along the line, he triumphed. Not that there was ever a final goal of that kind lurking between two of the big four of American Thrash Metal but the grip satisfaction that since 1992 Megadeth have had nine top-20 U.S. albums on the bounce must keep him going and if there is any legitimacy and heart in the American market, as well as here in the U.K., then Super Collider will make it the seemingly impossible 10.
