I use the word "fun" to describe rather few albums. Megadeth have a lot of riffs that really entertain me in a way that makes me use that word. Plus, what does Mustaine really sound like if not a pissed off cartoon character?

Pretty much how I feel as well, if the rest of the album matched the greatness of the first half it would be one of their best post-90's albums. Never Walk Alone is one of my favorite 2000's Megadeth songs.

I don't know if the OP understands the concept of filler. I think he/she's coming from the concepts of singles and confusing filler with the term deep cuts. Deep cuts can mean fantastic songs that weren't singles, filler usually means just mediocre songs used to fill up space for an album.

That's what Frown's been saying. Deep cuts and b-sides =/= filler.

Nah the whole album is filler. Even the best songs are just kinda good filler. Basically Megadeth's entire new millenium career.

I mean that riff is nice but that song is so dad thrash and it has one of those modern Megadeth choruses that is so bland I can't even remember how it sounds after having just heard it.

I've had it stuck in my head since 2009. But then, I've got dad-tastes. Or maybe often more like mom-tastes.

If there had been a transition album between Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction then I could see a younger Mustaine having been able to make that song with more authenticity but the only people I can see being impressed by that are Metallica.
