This is the first metal album that I have bought in years...and it kicked my ass!
Some really cool riffs, and blistering solos.
As for its lyrical content, Mr. Mustaine obviously has some strong opinions on the war in the Middle East;
the entire cd is pretty much dedicated to this.

Has anyone noticed how much Glen Drover is disrespected and underrated? Most people I've heard would say he is the worst guitar Megadeth has had, but I would put him at 2nd best easily only behind Marty Friedman. For one I find his alternate picking runs in Washington is Next, You're Dead, etc, and his sweeps to be EXTREMELY fast and clean at the same time. A lot of people play fast, but Glen Drover almost takes it over the edge in speed. My favorite is his first solo in Burnt Ice was an amazing harmony and the 2nd one is insanne, it reminds me of Sea of Lies by Symphony X, and I didn't expect any guitarist in Megadeth to reaching the greatness of Michael Romeo.

To be honest, before I bought this cd I had never heard of Glen Drover, but I thought his playing on this cd was excellent.
