Megadeth is back with a vengeance!
Great new album from a great band! Dave and the boys really sound awesome! I may be in the minority, but I did like Super Collider. With that being said, Dystopia sounds nothing like it! The classic Megadeth sound is back!! They returned back to their roots with this one! Megadeth fans will love it!! I really recommend everyone to pick this one up!

Megadeth back at their best!
I have been a Megadeth fan since So Far... Was released. They have lost their way and come back several times in their career, but Dystopia is a definite 'come back' moment. The album doesn't have any bad tracks on it. You can definitely feel the influence, of arguably their biggest album 'Rust In Piece', on Dystopia, but along with the familiarity, is a fresh new feel to the album as well. I paid the $2 extra to get the limited edition with the VR Goggles and it was $2 well spent! The extra videos that come with the app are worth it alone. With the goggles, I had to hunt to find the assembly instructions within the app, but once set up, looks great! Nice package all round. A great Megadeth album, and relevant to the times, with just a nod back to 1990! Enjoy!

Dystopia does not disappoint
Dave Mustaine and company are back with a new album and it's quite the step up from its two most recent predecessors Thirteen and Super Collider. In fact this is a renaissance for the band as a new chapter is written with yet another (but great) lineup accompanying the two Daves. I would rank this up as one of the best (but not the best) Megadeth albums, alongside Endgame and Rust in Peace (the latter being the gold standard). Aggressive and heavy, Dystopia is once again heavily influenced by current events and politics which may turn some people off, but if you're a fan of the band you're used to these types of lyrics. Coupled with a new drummer and another guitarist, this a true return to form for this legendary band.

Definitely worth the money
The band recorded 15 songs for this record, out of which 11 made it to the standard CD, 2 were bonus tracks for Best Buy and iTunes, a Japan release exclusive "Me hate you", and a cover of old school metal band Budgie that did not make it to the actual release. If like me, you're a collector, this is the edition to get. You get the CD with the most material, and you get the little goggles for the VR content on top for a couple extra dollars. I bought two copies, as I gave one as a present. As stated, best bang for your buck. Rock on!

What you should expect
Pretty much you shouldn't be surprised by this CD. Megadeth does what they do -- and they do it well. I will admit that I haven't found this album as 'catchy' as previous releases -- but that could be as much about my musical vibe at the moment as the CD itself. But even tho it's not what I've been craving at the moment, I wanted to grab it while I could still get the VR edition in case it was truly limited copies. Unfortunately, I've been having difficulty getting the VR app to play properly, but I'll figure it out -- I haven't spent all that much time troubleshooting the issue yet. Overall another solid thrash outing from one of the originals.
