Dive into the thrashing world of Megadeth with their 2007 release, "United Abominations." This high-octane album, now remastered in 2019, is a relentless journey through the realms of thrash, heavy, and speed metal. With a runtime of just over 52 minutes, it's a whirlwind of aggressive riffs, blistering solos, and Dave Mustaine's signature snarling vocals.
Kicking off with "Sleepwalker," the album wastes no time in establishing its intense pace. Tracks like "Washington Is Next!" and "Never Walk Alone...A Call to Arms" showcase Megadeth's signature political commentary wrapped in crushing metal. The title track, "United Abominations," is a standout, blending complex musicianship with a punishing rhythm section.
Fans will appreciate the inclusion of "À tout le monde (Set Me Free)" in its remastered form, a fan favorite that showcases the band's ability to blend raw aggression with melodic sensibilities. The Japanese edition's exclusive track, "Out on the Tiles," adds an extra layer of depth to this already robust collection.
"United Abominations" is a testament to Megadeth's enduring influence in the metal genre. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, this album delivers a powerful and uncompromising listening experience.
