HMV Review

Megadeth guns for arena thrash success and gets it on Countdown to Extinction. Following the lead of 1991's Metallica, Megadeth trades in their lengthy, progressive compositions for streamlined, tightly written and played songs more conducive to radio and MTV airplay. Cries of sellout seem pointless when the results are artistically (as well as commercially) successful; songs like the mega-hit Symphony of Destruction, Skin O' My Teeth, Foreclosure of a Dream, and Sweating Bullets are among the band's best. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

    MEGADETHの創作してきたアルバムの中で、イチ押し！です。研ぎ澄まされたカミソリ・ギターリフは、歪み具合といい、何とも言えず気持ちイイねぇ〜〜！DaveとMartyが奏でるツイン・リードも魅せてくれるよ！メロディアスさも十分にグレードアップし、各楽曲もスケールアップしてるんだよね。Jr.も良い仕事して、しっかり曲の屋台骨を支えているし、MEGADETHに興味を持ってもらえたら、このアルバムから入ればいいかも〜〜!!1曲目の“Skin O’ My Teeth”、8曲目の“High Speed Dirt”は、疾走感彡彡彡がバリッバリッだし、5曲目の“Sweating Bullets”のシャッフル感もVERY GOOD!!!個人的には、2曲目の“Symphony Of Destruction”、3曲目の“Architecture Of Aggression”、7曲目の“Countdown To Extinction”が、冷徹な曲展開、Daveの怜悧かつ嘲るようなヴォーカル、Jr.のクールなベースラインが満喫できてサイコーです!!!MartyにもROCKの世界に戻ってきてもらって、もう一度、この頃のメンツで、アルバムを作ってくれないかなぁ★彡

    90年代突入後、けだるく、うねる様なサウンドのグランジ.ブームの到来で 多くのバンドが方向転換せざるおえなかった時代、彼らも時代に乗ったのか？と不安に思っていたのだが、確かに＃1こそファストなチューンで「おっ」と思わせたが全体的にはヘヴィーな曲が目立つ。しかし、そこは希代のリフ.メイカー、ムステイン大佐である。重さとメロディーの調和が見事にマッチしており、一度聞くと耳に残る旋律とリフが数多く存在する。アルバム1枚としては前作には劣るかもしれないが、曲単体では明らかに今作の方に軍配が上がる名作である。

    メガデスの作品を全部聴いたわけではないですがキャリアの中で一番のお気に入りアルバムです。他人にもオススメしやすいかなと思います。 だからこそ反面、真のメガデス度＝100％じゃないっていう評価もあるのかな？
